The antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me. This isn’t Trump instigating, it’s the future of the Democrat party. Sick.
Absolutely chillingThe antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me. This isn’t Trump instigating, it’s the future of the Democrat party. Sick.
With Jewish Voice for Peace being amongst the organisers of the protests your use of antisemitism is highly questionable.The antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me. This isn’t Trump instigating, it’s the future of the Democrat party. Sick.
And of course there are no Jewish students openly supporting Netanyahu and his questionable execution of the war on Hamas and innocent Palestinians.The antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me. This isn’t Trump instigating, it’s the future of the Democrat party. Sick.
That ’report’ quoted is by a Jewish organisation that has spoken out against antisemitism for decades but more recently has been criticised as having a pro-Zionist agenda (one Trump has shared with Netanyahu) including by members of its own staff - it is unlikely to be unbiased reporting (ie reporting that also acknowledges an exponential rise in Islamophobia in campuses across America too.The antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me.

'Jewish' voice for Peace is Antisemitic. Every time it speaks. That's what it's for.With Jewish Voice for Peace being amongst the organisers of the protests your use of antisemitism is highly questionable.
It would be hard to believe Trump could have offered more support to Netanyahu or sent more bombs to kill and displace civilians than Biden has.
Weird election coming up though.
Vote Trump for the death of Ukraine and Palestinians.
Vote Biden for the death of Palestinians.
Don't forget your buddy Trump just a few weeks ago claimed Jewish people who vote for Democrats “hate Israel” and “hate their religion". The bloke has plenty of form in this areaThe antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me. This isn’t Trump instigating, it’s the future of the Democrat party. Sick.

I posted Monday lunchtime - and the BBC/Sky et al finally caught up by Tuesday evening. I wouldn't go as far to say that they're purposefully biased, more scared of even attempting to be 'even-handed' in their presentation of events from Israel/Gaza and the occupied territories.It's on the BBC ( but I know they're biased and so don't count ).
ADL is a sham of an organisation that serves to prop up the interests of Israel and delegitimize Palestinian rights through a combination of political financing and wielding anti-semetic smears.The antisemitism spreading across US colleges is truly shocking to me.

Thread Curator has spokenPlease stop this arguing over antisemitism - it’s really distateful.
Antisemitism and Islamophobic attacks have risen, not only on every university campus in the US but worldwide since 7/10 as verified by independent policing stats - it doesn’t matter who reports incidences of antisemitism or Islamophobia other than both get labelled accurately and both get reported as such. It also matters that both Jews and Muslims are given equal treatment under the laws of discrimination and freedom of speech (which at the moment appears questionable)
Yes, the Adl is biased, it is known for its anti-zionist views as I said above, as are some of the sources reporting Islamophobic attacks biased and are pro-Islam, some sources have left wing or have a right wing agenda in their reporting - however, many incidences of discrimination don’t get reported to neutral organisations in the first place but to groups that can support the victims and to a culturally sensitive group the victims are comfortable with, so it is not surprising the sources of reports are often special interest.
The bias or non-bias nature of the sources, does not make any discrimination or racial attacks on anyone ok so please stop highlighting incidences of antisemitism or any other form of racial hatred on this thread just to score points - know there are a growing number of Arab/Muslims and Jews who are victims of some shocking incidences of racial hatred in Westernised societies and it’s largely down to ignorance of the issues and the people involved that it is so rife at all.

Spot on.Debating the use/misuse of anti-semitism as a political weapon is extremely valid especially when it is frequently being used as a powerful tool to drown out legitimate critiques of Israel. It was used effectively against the Labour left over the years and now during this "conflict"
Pro-Israeli / Zionist groups are labelling the protests as a whole protest movement as anti-semitic in order to shut them down. As repeated many times on this thread, there are many Jews and Jewish groups involved in these protests (not that have any obligation to take part).
That is a completely different debate to the question of whether or not anti-Semitic or islamaphobic incidents have risen (don't think many are disputing there is sadly an increase).
Is anyone suggesting that simple criticism of the Israeli state is?Spot on.
Critical of Israel = anti-semite. It's the way that the extreme right wing State of Israel likes to play it. And both our politicians and those in the US just go along with it. It's so important that everybody understands that to criticise the genocide of women and children by the Israeli state does NOT an anti-semite make.

Sorry to hear of your experiences with anti-semitism.I am just asking us to stop arguing over what it means to be antisemitic or over sources reporting antisemitism or islamophobia (because all sources carry some form of bias
'Jewish' voice for Peace is Antisemitic. Every time it speaks. That's what it's for.
Much like its sister, 'Jewish voice for Labour' was in the words of Jon Lansman of all people, "created specifically & only to deflect from claims of antisemitism by the Corbyn administration"
