Severely asinine take here. 1) There was antisemitism at Harvard before there were Jews at Harvard (hence the no Jews at Harvard thing) and 2) Israel existed for thousands upon thousands of years before Europeans created the ethnostate that goes by that name.
Long, horrific post from Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has been convicted eight and indicted dozens of times for assorted acts of hate violence including supporting terrorism, and who here is speaking about Palestinian prisoners, thousands of whom have not even stood trial.
The word “Israel” has meant “all Jews” for thousands of years. The Star of David on the Israeli flag has meant “all Jews” for thousands of years. This is appalling garbage.
Students target their university because that is the site of their greatest influence (and because, particularly for Harvard students, their university is immensely influential in the broader society/culture).
What asinine analysis from the alleged “W.E.B. Du Bois Professor of the Social Sciences.”
The Israeli government trying to beat the genocide charges by… tweeting a video that declares all Palestinians in Gaza guilty of the October 7th attacks.
There is no viable standard by which one can conclude that Hamas must be completely destroyed that would not also condemn the Israeli ruling faction to complete destruction as well. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/w...
Since bombing and starvation have conclusively proven over eight months to be completely incapable of accomplishing hostage redemption, and since practically all hostage redemption has happened under conditions of ceasefire, everyone here should be calling to end the bombing and starvation.
A new poll from The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has 51% of US Jews agreeing with Biden’s promise to cut off arms to the Israeli military in response to the latter’s invasion of Rafah. Just 21% disagree.
This “aid pier” was always meant to be a PR stunt rather than a serious humanitarian intervention, but as it happens, it has been a catastrophic failure on both fronts.
The World Court in The Hague ordered the Israeli government to halt its Rafah offensive.
In response, Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s chief competitor for Prime Minister and a member of his war cabinet, had this to say:
Extraordinary Jewish works, figures, and innovations flourished in Muslim Spain.
That period was followed by the Spanish Inquisition, one of the most brutal and horrific episodes in Jewish history.
The Israeli project unduly valorizes the Christian-European nation state on which it is modeled.
Energy Minister Eli Cohen is the latest Israeli government official to use a phrase which the US Congress has designated as a genocidal call to violence.
