    My Israeli friends came to the USA to visit family. They stated, “We are more afraid of danger in the USA than in Israel.”

    Today's universities are the breeding ground of the new Brown Shirts.

    Having Ilan Omar participating in a hearing about antisemitism is an outrage. Why does she still have a job?
  • Is baffles me that it's okay with you that people are anti-semitic as long as you think you can keep their votes and I'm speaking as a Democrat who worked hard to elect Democrats

    The Northwestern guy did more damage to himself and to Northwestern than a few dozen atom bombs.

    I think what many are missing is that although it is not antisemitic to critique the Israeli government (many Israelis do it often!), but calling for the destruction of Israel when the majority of Jewish people live there IS antisemitic. Where are they supposed to go? Also, when universities receiving state and/or federal funding use those resources to put forth an ideology (and only protect some students, not all) that creates a hostile environment and is a Title VI violation. I am a professor and am horrified that some professors think its OK to put forth an oppressor-oppressed ideology while ignoring thousands of years where Jews were oppressed. There is pain on both sides but ALL students should have equal access to education. Why aren't universities trying to educate students about the history of both sides? So little understanding and critical thinking, which is supposed to be the point of education to understand different points of view.

    All Congress does is talk and do nothing

    His testimony is the literal worst. It’s just so bad. How does he suck at this so much? He makes all the other presidents, including Gay and Shafik, look noble by comparison. This transcript in whole should be part of any lawsuit that’s brought against the university.

    Islamists trying constantly to kill Jews - butts kissed, if antisemitism is brought up - same people - it's Islamaphobia.
