Prof….the Jewish students should sue Harvard.

I hope that students from elite universities begin class action lawsuits based upon the absence of provisions for their safety in these schools. While anti-Semitism rears its ugliness, we need protection. Janet

"...identity politics that inevitably leads to some groups trying to marginalize other groups..."...100% correct!

What I don’t understand (and I’m not an American, so there are differences in our legal codes) is that people who whip up the emotions of a crowd are not arrested and charged for inciting people to do bodily harm to other people?

There were Jewish students trapped in a library with a crowd baying for the slaughter of people of their race. I wonder what would have happened if one of these Jewish students simply walked out of the library?

As foolish as it might appear, one of these Jewish students might have concluded (in a moment of brash bravery) that freedom of movement was their right - which it was - and walked out into the crowd.

What would the Principal argue? That they had been advised to remain indoors and so any assault on their person was on their own head? That this Jewish student was taunting the crowd by exercising his/her own freedom of movement? That he/she should have remained indoors ...

Years ago in South Africa, I stood with black students on the lawns of our university as they showed their presence at an open student event. But at which most SA white students in Apartheid South Africa had never had black students join in before. Remember there was a civil war going on at the time and many of the young white men had been forced to serve their conscription service before coming to university. They did not understand how one moment they were in the black township or on the border potentially shooting at black people and yet here they were ‘forced’ to mix with them?!? BUT the black students knew what risk they took and the point was to dare an unjustified attack on a black student by a white student. They knew the administration would have thrown the white student out of university, hence proving a point to the wider community - we are all people (and equality is coming).

Now if a Jewish student dared to prove the same point at one of the three (detestable) universities, would the administration stand by the Jewish student, as the South African university administration would have done in the midst of a civil war?

One wonders.

Commenting about the Two State Solution: Iran is trying its best to destroy the Jewish state and to establish a Moslem State in its place. In order to bring the Mahdi to earth, the Shiites must kill all the Jews and create chaos and havoc globally. Israel doesn't have a peace partner. The Moslem proxies are Jihadists and will do what the Qran dictates in order to achieve their goals.

Claudine Gay will not leave ,because she's an entitled American negro . Another Oprah Winfrey . Both women clearly let all of us know that they hate white people including Jews. She has to resign in shame .
