If you had told me 7 months ago that I would wrap Tefilin and contemplate wearing a Kippah in public, I would have told you I went crazy. The more they push to exclude me, the greater clarity I have in understanding my purpose and building my strength. My parents did not bring me here from Ukraine so I would have to submit to fear.
Thank you for illustrating the plight of being Jewish on campus in the US. And thank you for putting into writing the circumstances that drive my profound conviction to be Jewish.
If you support Israel and are against antisemitism, you’ve got to be out of your mind to vote for a Democrat. Here are the results of the latest 3 House votes by Party:
p.s., In the votes to give aid to Ukraine and Israel, 21 (Tea Party) Republicans voted NO on aid to both Israel and Ukraine, versus the 37 Democrats who voted yes for aid to Ukraine but refused to support Israel.
I have a problem with isolationist Republicans. They are bad for America and bad for the world. However, I’m much more concerned about the DEI fiasco and authorities turning a blind eye to anarchy, fueled by the left. A generation of students moving into corporate and government ranks is being infected. This must be stopped.
These "protestors" are the same social justice warriors who've spent the past decade lecturing the country that unwelcome opinions are injurious to one’s sense of safety.
America normalized white hatred during the BLM riots and we have now normalized jew hatred since the pro Hamas/pro Palestine/anti Israel riots. I don't think either outcome is coincidence.
This type of vicious conduct was standard during the BLM/Antifa riots of several years ago, but, given that most of the targets were police and law-abiding white citizens the media wouldn't cover it or, when they did cover it, presented it as justifiable comeuppance for "colonization and white supremacy." Conservatives were mocked for stressing that this breakdown of civic order would not stop with the targets of that moment, but we were ridiculed. What we are seeing now is the old story of the Man, the Horse, and the Wolf. Democrats have lost control of their shock troops.
All these demonstrators have been instructed to hide their identities behind masks of some sort - they are cowards, happy to demonstrate for their noxious beliefs but afraid to let us know who they are.
Where is our leadership? Where is Biden? Schumer? Pelosi? Jeffries? Why aren't they condemning these travesties loudly, publicly and often? Where are the university presidents and their staffs?
My family has been in America since 1901. My father was on the staff of the Ways and Means Committee during the Eisenhower administration. My uncle served in WW2. My cousin was a career enlisted man in the Air Force. Maybe it’s time to make Aliyah. I can’t imagine how I’d feel watching all this if Israel didn’t exist.
I am not Jewish but I really am scared by what is happening in this country. I am a substitute teacher in various public high schools and I have been seeing large Palestinian flags hanging on the walls of the classrooms and "From River to the Sea" taped to the doors of several teachers' classrooms. Indoctrination is very real here in Los Angeles.
I can't help but think back in history. This is how Nazis started in Germany, Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, Maoists in China, Hutus in Rwanda, Stalinists in Russia... before they committed atrocities and killed millions. By brainwashing the most primitive layers of society, claiming they are the most righteous ones and they have right to do whatever they want. But this is not only happening in the US. Look at UK for instance. The future is bleak. Jews are only the proverbial canaries in the mines. They are coming for all of us
The entire sad affair is ridiculous. The First Amendment protects citizens from government limiting speech. Schools from pre K- college have the right to limit speech on their campuses. It is hard not to notice, while protesters feel free to shout horrible things about Jews and Israel, there are no such mass slurs against Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities, because that never would be tolerated.
Nor is there any right for protesters to occupy private property. Protesters and trespassers violating school policy need to be expelled, and then arrested, with those committing violence. The names and mug shots should be published.
Moreover, Monday morning, every university in the US should ban masks outside, except under written doctor's orders. Many of these kids hiding behind masks, would find another hobby, quickly , if their faces were uncovered. Universities would never tolerate KKK hats and masks. They should not tolerate these head and face coverings, either.

There is a profound moral crisis occurring on USA Ivy League campuses. I stand with all Jewish brothers and sisters in opposition to this hate.

Zero tolerance for violence and hate speech. Arrest them. Expel them. Deport them.

They're not just chanting pro-Hamas slogans, they are chanting "death to America". They are the enemy.
Dear God. Never would I have thought this would happen in our country in my lifetime. I am sick.

This is the hateful result of the idiotic Social Justice movement. It destroys common sense.
