  1. Apparently the same people that thought it was stupid to say there was a racist, sexist or homophobe behind every bush gladly shout there is actually an anti-semite behind every bush.

    1. The anti-Semitism has been very blatant across our college campuses
      by leftists that claim to hate racism.

      Then again, the Democratic Party is loaded with bigots.
      The Dems spiritual leader has quite the checkered past.

    2. Keith B, is it anti-semitic to say Israel (and Gaza and any foreign countries) should not be getting any US funding? Is it ant-semitic to say that AIPAC is a malign influence on Congress? Is it anti-semitic to say that anti-BDS speech laws are inimical to Article 1, Section 9 of the Indiana Constitution?

      I don’t like leftist hooligans co-opting wimpy mask-wearing “pro-Palestine” people, but claiming these dumb college protestors are saying (and most importantly) doing anything like “kill all the Jews on campus” is a joke. This is basically left-on-left eating their own, as we know 75-80% of Jews vote Democrat.

    3. Eric M.

      Agreed, that this is the left eating their own.

      But the anti Isreal and and anti Jewish rhetoric is on full display.b
      – Protestors denying Jews access to classes and public spaces.
      – From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free. The total annhilation of
      Israel.
      – Protestors demanding that Universities not accept any Jewish students
      or instructors from Isreal.
      – protestors calling for an infitada.
      – Protestors calling for the “ Final Solution “.
      – Jewish students not feeling safe on college campuses.
      There’s more, but this is just a sample of what the protestors are saying
      and demanding.

    4. Keith, “not feeling safe” is a joke. This is from the Likud Party Platform of 1977: “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.” The hooligans should be arrested, but not for nebulous things like I don’t feel safe or making Likud’s statement into a rhyming jingle. Saying things and doing things (such as blocking buildings, roads, classes) are much different. Yes, if some fool is blocking anyone from class, Jewish or not, they should be thrown in jail. If somehow a Palestinian protestor secretly got on an admissions committee and figured out how to keep Jewish students from enrolling, that should also be prosecuted. But otherwise, conservatives like Rosita should keep out of this. The universities should have funding withheld for 100’s of reasons like pro-LGBTQ, climate change hysteria, anti-family and anti-Christian views, discriminating against white and Asian kids, etc.
