Correct me if I’m wrong, but the accusations of students at protest


Voicing support for Hamas, or even worse for genocide of Jewish people, seems a little different than an invited speaker on campus advocating in a form for Hamas or genocide of Jewish people. And how university administrations have typically dealt with those different circumstances seems different. Where am I off base? I thought you were

Again, I am in no way, supporting Hamas or genocide in any form of any people. I am concerned that people, including some posters on this board, are characterizing those administrators, as anti-Semitic based on the way they answered the questions I think that’s really dangerous. I think they’re caught between a rock and a hard place and they allowed themselves to be the victim of a gotcha by a politician. And sorry I don’t think they’re between a rock and a hard place because of woke policies whatever that is or because of an over focus on identity. I think they’re caught because this is a really emotional scarring situation. Thousands of innocent people have been brutally killed, and hundreds more seem to be being killed brutally every day. There’s a deadly war happening . This is the kind of situation that has been bringing American college students into the streets since the 60s. But this is worse because of who is involved and the passionate ties so many people here have to each group of people.

And frankly, I have zero trust that the anti-Semitic portion of these protest are not being fueled by the usual suspects for the usual reasons, division.
