It’s more subtle than people marching around saying “kill all the Jews”.


I don’t think I’ve heard of that. It’s more subtle than “Jews will not replace us”. It’s partly the flip side of your concern. People will conflate anti-Israeli protests with antisemitism. Goes the other way too - anti-Israeli protests have a way of spawning shit like “fuck the Jews” (on par with Jews will not replace us). Then you get into parroting Hamas slogans - I don’t doubt that many kids mindlessly parrot. If these U presidents started with “of course direct calls for genocide of any kind aren’t tolerated”, they might have gotten into the subtleties here. It might have been constructive.

It’s impossible to imagine that wouldn’t have been the answer to a hypothetical about re-enslaving black people or a genocide of any other group. Why the hesitation here? Doubtful it’s because any of them are bigots. It’s more smoke about these concepts you can call wokeness or postmodernism or whatever. Just like our discussion below about outsized antisemitism on campuses vs society as a whole - there’s a lot of smoke indicating this fire. That academia is a sort of ground zero for the illiberalism creeping in from the left. Maybe we are seeing a spotlight that will open some eyes, and some good can come of all this.
