love peace and chase after peace.

1. Genocide is not just "several human rights abuses"

2. This is moral pandering and putting fealings first. Would you say during the nazi's holocaust we shouldn't be instilling fear into german communities? Its placing one group's fealings over a group who's far more oppressed and is under going genocide.

3. This post reaks of liberal zionism. Jesus fucking christ. Liberals love fake nuance. This only gives credence to zionist's fear mongering.

Yes! Yes, I would say that! What possible impact do you think attacking German-American communities would have had on the actions of a completely different country? German-Americans had no influence over Nazi Germany, and Nazi Germany didn't care what happened to them. This is the great plan to "free Palestine"? Pick a scapegoat, designate them acceptable targets despite their lack of influence over the actions of a country half the globe away, and "instill fear"? How utterly fascist. How utterly useless.

For fuck's sake, is it too much to ask of leftists that they be effective? We've got leftist organisations calling the murder of two people outside a Jewish museum "the most anyone in this country has done for Palestine," when, from where I'm standing, all it's achieved is giving Trump ammunition for targeting pro-Palestine protests, further alienated potential allies, and given fuel to Netanyahu's Kahanism. But hey, it instilled plenty of fear in the Jewish community, and apparently that's enough to make it the greatest thing ever!

Already addressed, but like. Hey did you know America did that in WW2? Blamed the local community that had nothing to do with the actions of the country they/their ancestors came from for the actions of that country? It was called the Japanese Internment and it was in fact a BAD THING.

Jewish Columbia students were chased out of dorms, spat on, and pinned against walls: damning report

Jewish students at Columbia University were chased out of their dorms, received death threats, spat upon, stalked and pinned against walls, as the Ivy League school devolved into a cesspool of antisemitic hate in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 murderous raid on Israel.

The new and disturbing details emerged from the lengthy, 91-page document released Friday by the school’s faculty-led antisemitism task force, which revealed the extent to which the hate permeated the institution.

“Students described being shoved, pushed to the ground, berated for showing support for Zionist causes, and watching Israeli flags burned,” the task force’s authors wrote.

Jewish and Israeli students at Columbia University endured a months-long nightmare of harassment, violent threats and assaults after Oct. 7.

“They recounted seeing drawings of swastikas in their dorms, students yelling pro-Hamas chants, and being denied access to public spaces and opportunities simply because they were Jewish or Israeli.”

Testimony from nearly five hundred Columbia students informed the report, which found visibly observant Jews had been pinned to the wall and had their jewelry ripped off while coming and going from synagogue. Others recounted being spat on and having been called ethnic slurs on campus.

One student, who had installed a mezuzah on her dorm’s doorway prior to the Israel-Hamas war, was forced to move out after people were pounding her door throughout the night beginning in October, demanding she explain the Jewish state’s war in Gaza.

“If I walk on campus right now with my star out or kippah or say ‘am Yisrael chai,’ I could start World War III,” one anonymous student’s testimony read.

Instructors tasked with guiding and mentoring students instead contributed to the sense of isolation and unease among Jews and Israelis on campus, according to the report.

Students recalled being pushed to the ground and watching Israeli flags being burned.

One faculty member leading a class that delved into the Israel-Hamas conflict called a student who previously served in the IDF a murderer. Another professor extensively said a pair of Jewish donors to the university had “laundered” “dirty money” and “blood money.”

During the spring, as protests and encampments roiled the school’s Morningside Heights campus, protesters, including outsiders and members of the university community, bellowed death threats at Jewish students. Demonstrators who held Israeli flags, meanwhile, recalled being assaulted.

“There is a sense of personal threat, and we keep looking over our shoulders,” master’s student Omer Lubaton Granot, an Israeli veteran and father of a toddler, told an Israeli radio station in the wake of protesters seizing the academic building Hamilton Hall in April.

Councilman Eric Dinowitz (D-Bronx) described the students’ testimonies as “horrifying — and not surprising.”

“These are stories we’ve been hearing about, as the report says, even before the encampments,” he told The Post, adding that antisemitism had been on the rise at college campuses even before Oct. 7

“Without any sort of consequence [for students and faculty] this sort of behavior will continue

The task force offered several recommendations to address the issues detailed in the voluminous report, including improved anti-bias training for students and staff along with a new system for reporting complaints about antisemitism.

The report was issued just days before Columbia’s fall semester begins and less then three weeks after embattled university president Minouhce Shafik suddenly resigned, citing the “period of turmoil” that marred her brief tenure at the school.

Interim President Katrina Armstrong called the disturbing incidents “completely unacceptable” before rattling off new initiatives at the university aligning with the panel’s recommendations.

I’m Jewish and part of the byler fandom and the amount of people who have “antisemites dni, zios dni” on their bio/into post is ridiculous. Like you’re contradicting yourself in the same sentence. Also the whole never ending discourse about Noah schnapp, and even the people defending him are defending him because he apologised, not because he didn’t even do anything wrong in the first place. Or they talk about the Israelis that were with him at the cafe like they were predatory towards him, forcing him to get stickers when they were literally hanging out??

In Byler twitter it’s even worse, and I noticed people who are both in Byler twitter and tumblr feel much more comfortable being gross about him in twitter, including big byler tumblr blogs who censor his name, etc and basically are the ruling majority of the fandom, then acting relatively normal about him on tumblr, including using pictures of him as a little kid and then calling him slurs. Only found a few rare people here who are normal about Jews AND Israelis/Israel (because yes, thinking all Israelis are murderous baby killers is not normal or should be acceptable behaviour in fandom and in general!). Tired of all of the hypocritical Jew haters who lie to themselves about being anti bigotry and think they are morally superior in this fandom, thinking they are amazing wonderful people and making posts glazing mamdani. truly exhausting.

An educated person with a doctorate asked me that. I told them no, we don’t. She asked me again as she didn’t believe me.

Jewish Wedding Ring. First half 14th century

and now all the comments I see are "like Israelis..." "kill zionists"
