    Condemning Israel is not anti-Semitic, Nora’s calling out the atrocities committed by the people in Israel against the Palestinians. The fact of the matter is, Israel’s repeated violations of international law and pushing beyond boundaries established by the United Nations push the Palestinians into the arms of Hamas. If Israel had displayed years and years ago a good faith effort to establish a Palestinian state and treated the Palestinians with respect, The problems would have been solved long ago. Instead for decades Israel has pushed an apartheid state, randomly killing Palestinian citizens and treating them like garbage, perpetuating the problem. We (the US)should not be supporting Israel given their reprehensible behavior and continue to legal stealing of Palestinian land and continued abhorrent treatment of the Palestinian citizens. I am Jewish by blood, atheist by belief, I hate Israel. I don’t blame young people in the United States at all for their protests against Israel.

    At the same time I also hate Hamas. However I view them as a disease, and the cause is Israel. For every innocent civilian they kill, Israel creates at least one terrorist, if not more. Their current course of action will only make things worse in the long run.

      Advocating Jewish genocide to students, some of who are Jewish, is bullying and should be against any code of conduct. Simple as that.

        Advocating hatred against LGBTQ people, is bullying which also happens on college campuses and has even regularly spewed by the current speaker of the house. That should also be against the code of conduct on college campuses and especially in Congress. Simple as that.

        The problem is that these positions are unconstitutional. The real world doesn’t have safe spaces. What’s next? Banning books? Morality police?
