I love this from chailife .

It makes you think 🤔

I feel the world is losing their humanity .

We have protestors who don't even know what they are actually protesting for :

*gays for Gaza

*queers for Palestine

* Women for Palestine

And the list goes on .

If any of these groups were in Gaza or Palestine there lives would take a tragic turn .

They are like sheep 🐑 and all share the same brain 🧠

No critical thinking

No thinking at all

How sad is that ?

Tw: anti-semitism

Oh man! I sure can't wait for Harrison Bukter to be covered almost 24/7 by right wing evangelical media like FoxNews for his antisemitism in a university setting, specially since they just love Jews and care for their welfare soooo much, I mean that's the only reason they vehemently defend Israel, right? And of course!!! he's gonna have senators saying he should be hostilitized and arrested by the national guard as well anyyy minute now, just the Columbia protesters! Oh Biden is gonna make such a Normal® and Democratic™ speech on a white house press conference about how the NFL needs to be made accountable for Peace and Order™ just like the Columbia protesters, riiiiiight? Because of course this whole repression of speech and activism on private universities is truly about antisemitism...right?

As much as I want to engage with ideas in good faith I can’t comprehend why someone would argue “what’s happening in Gaza is bad but it’s not genocide/apartheid” or “Zionism means different things to some people so it’s wrong to condemn it as a whole” or “stop saying from the river to the sea” that isn’t just to take away language from Palestinians to express their opposition to oppression- to the death toll and displacement and all of the horrific cruel things Palestinians have been targeted with. When I try to understand people who are sympathetic to Israel (but maintain they are critical of the “corrupt government officials”) all I see is tone policing a group of people who are seldom given a voice by those in power. & while there are people who point out that there is a tendency for the left to tokenize certain Jewish activist groups that are critical of Israel, I see the same people tokenize “good” Palestinian protesters in a way that is extremely disturbing to me all things considered.

Jewish Protests at Berkeley

I wrote a few days back about goings-on at Berkeley regarding protests -- which turned destructive -- against an Israeli speaker and a general deterioration of the situation for Berkeley's Jewish community. A few other developments have occurred since then, both of which entail Jews becoming the protesters, rather than the protested. First, my friend and former colleague Ron Hassner has begun a sit-in in his own office, refusing to leave until the Berkeley administration takes action regarding a serious of demands he's made regarding how to address campus antisemitism. Second, a large group of Berkeley Jewish students marched on Sather Gate, where a different group of pro-Palestinian students had been blocking passage as part of their own protest (and reportedly have been haranguing Jewish students in the vicinity). Initially, the plan appeared to be to force a confrontation by attempting to pass through the gate; in the end, the Jewish marchers diverted around the gate, wading across a small creek before reemerging on the other side. I've given a recap before of my own experience at Berkeley, but that was from several years ago and certainly times and circumstances have changed since then. So I won't comment on the actual state of affairs for Jews on campus -- I'm not on the ground, and people like Hassner are. I do think this is an interesting example of Jews adopting what I termed a "protest politic" -- seeking change via the medium of a protest (as opposed to, say, a board resolution, letter to the editor, or political hearings). I wrote in that post that while I personally am averse to protests (not on general political or tactical grounds; it's a temperamental preference), it does seem that acting via protest -- sit-ins, marches, or even disruption -- was a way of marking yourself as being of a particular political class on campus and so a way of being taken seriously. At least on campuses, it seems that certain brands of protest have become the language through which communities communicate that they are part of the circle of progressive concern. We can identify an issue as a "progressive" one by reference to how its advocates perform their demands -- the medium rather than the message. If something is demanded through a sit-in or a march, that's an issue that's in the progressive pantheon. Something that is pressed through a Board of Trustees resolution, not so much. Again, I don't comment on whether these protests are "good", either in their tactical efficacy or their underlying demands. But I do find the adoption of this particular medium, and its comparatively transgressive character, to be an interesting development, and so I wanted to flag it. via The Debate Link https://ift.tt/sNMxpjo

A while back I saw a "pro-Palestinian" post that said something like, "It doesn't matter how much you love your Jewish neighbors, Zionists will call you anti-Semitic for standing up against Israel!"

There's a lot to unpack about that claim—the idea that loving the "right" Jews makes it okay to hate the "wrong" half of world Jewry, or that 95% of Diaspora Jews are those oh-so-evil Zionists, and so on. But let's focus on the straight-up gaslighting.

And, just in the last twenty-four hours:

If this is "loving your Jewish neighbors," I'd really hate to see what anti-Semitism would be like!

BERKELEY, Calif.—A University of California, Berkeley, spokesman said Monday that the university could not adequately secure Israeli lawyer Ran Bar-Yoshafat’s campus appearance last month against the violent student protesters who shut down the event because Jewish student groups didn’t give officials sufficient notice.

"We found out about the event on Feb. 26, 24 hours before," Berkeley’s vice chancellor of communications Dan Mogulof told the Washington Free Beacon on Monday, as Bar-Yoshafat returned to the university to deliver his talk unhindered to a 200-person crowd. "The students didn’t tell us. They weren’t under any obligation to, but we had no idea."

This explanation comes as the university manages backlash over its handling of the anti-Semitic protest, in which assailants choked one female Jewish student trying to attend Bar-Yoshafat’s speech and spit in the face of a male student while shouting "Jew Jew Jew!" Officials moved the location of the event three times and eventually canceled the talk after the protesters broke down the doors. Last week, following days of bad press around those assaults, Berkeley announced a hate crime probe, and campus Jewish groups invited Bar-Yoshafat back to Berkeley. This time university officials hired private security guards and summoned other UC campus law enforcement to keep the peace.

Student organizers with the two campus groups behind Bar-Yoshafat’s visit, Students Supporting Israel and Tikvah, did not respond to requests for comment.

"It’s right on brand given how they have dealt with anti-Jewish protests in the past: ‘hoping and praying’ that students will fend for themselves, which is what they have been doing for years," Merkulova said. "There has never been protection for Jewish students at UC Berkeley—until now. And even last night, private security removed the one person who decided to scream obscenities instead of asking questions."
