Do Jewish Democrats realize that the colleges are basically woke democrats and this shows the true colors of the Democratic Party? We’re not finding Republican institutions call for the mass extermination of Jews
HORRIFYING VIDEO: American College Students Openly Support Campaign To Kill Jews
Obama Pressured Harvard Not To Fire Claudine Gay After Congressional Hearing
And the numerous other articles about colleges
First of all, Nick Fuentes who is a Republican and has thousands of viewers explicitly called for the killing of the demonic Jews. Jackson Hinkle is also a Republican and he is the biggest account on Twitter and is EXTREMELY anti-Israel and antisemitic. Also, the people fighting against the antisemitism on college campuses are all academics. For example, the Dean of Berkeley Law School wrote an entire op-ed how he personally experienced multi antisemitic incidents since 10/7. There are many defenders of Israel on college campuses. You just hear the tiny minority who shouts crazy things.
“You just hear the tiny minority who shouts crazy things.“
In no way is Nick Fuentes not a minority according to your own standards. There’s a lot more anti Jew nut jobs on campus than edge lords on 4chan. I’m also pretty positive Nick is working for the feds while your crowd is much more organic I’m sorry to say.
The problem is anti Jewishness is becoming a normalized position under the elite auspices of the left and has never been under the right, the ADL and other organizations have made this bed and now student’s at Harvard are all wearing keffiahs.
You can pay yourself on the back for this mess if you voted democrat.
It is time to permanently close-down ALL American colleges and universities.
They are no longer about education; they are about brainwashing students
into becoming followers of evil murderous thieves and liars like:
Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev, Mao Zedong, Kim Jong-il,
the Former Soviet Union [USSR] and its KGB, Fidel Castro and Yassir Arafat.I am not an opponent of secular education.
On the contrary, I believe that secular education is very important.But our colleges and universities have abandoned secular education
and replaced it with radical Socialist indoctrination and brainwashing.Additionally, our colleges and universities have abandoned Free Speech,
and replaced it with radical Progressive intimidation and harassment.They must be completely and permanently closed down, ALL of them!
You will need to show some hard numbers to convince me that things are worse now than before. Commies run humanity departments for many years, and math and engineering departments are not involved in that . One thing that did change is that more people are now going to college, so some who used to get their news and views from pubs, now get them from commie professors.
The correlation between being an “elite” university and one that tolerates and encourages anti-Semitism has been widely noted. Frum Jews aren’t all that affected since while some of us attend or work for such schools, we are obviously aware of anti-Semitism since we are obviously Jewish – though some “modern” Orthodox do change their personal names and modify their appearance so they won’t look “too” Jewish. For us it has always been a fact of life.
For the more assimilated, Oct. 7 and the aftermath are an existential shock. They never could imagine that those they saw as colleagues felt that the mass murder and rape, etc., of Jews was good public policy. The good American Jews assumed that anti-Jewish prejudice was only directed against frum Jews (and such assimilationists held such views themselves). A similar event occurred just under a century ago when highly assimilated German Jews discovered what their beloved German countrymen really thought of them (and the meme of a German Jew being led to the gas chamber shouting about his medals earned fighting for the Kaiser)
One option is migration to the “red” states, and going to politically conservative (or at least moderate) universities. We can also join the many conservative voices attacking the manner in which credentials from “elite” universities are afforded a value not reflected in the quality of education the students receive.
But the bottom line, is that if the anti-Semitic elites continue in power in America, it is unlikely that the country will remain a good place for Jews, and also that Israel needs to be prepared to stop depending on the United States for assistance.
> some “modern” Orthodox do change their personal names and modify their appearance so they won’t look “too” Jewish
this used to be a norm for most Jewish professionals until lately. Not just out of fear of anti-semites but simply not to impose on professional relationship, especially for public-facing professions, such as politicians, doctors, lawyers. So maybe we should see latest setbacks in the larger context
> unlikely that the country will remain a good place for Jews,
there was a poignant letter to NYT recently
..My father fled [Germany] in 1939.. My father had passed the German law bar and was taking postgraduate courses to enter the German diplomatic corps. When he fled to the U.S. his German law degree was useless. So he started sweeping floors in a factory .. Eventually he was able to go back to college at night in the U.S., .. He got his bachelor’s degree in economics.
When I asked him why he didn’t pursue a law degree here as he had in Germany, he said, “If I ever had to flee this country I didn’t want to have another useless law degree.”
I said, “Dad, you’d never have to flee the U.S.!”
And he replied, “That’s what I thought in Germany.”coffee, my father oh had an engineering degree. Transferred well between continents.
The problem at America’s colleges began with the so-called BDS (boycott-divestment-sanctions) movement years ago. BDS gave anti-Semites “cover” to let them organize their forces against Israel. On most campuses, they operated openly under the noses of college administrators and, in many cases, with their tacit support.
It is that you know current events in detail, while old events from brief descriptions in bad history books. Maybe go to a library and open papers from hundred or fifty years ago and you might see opinions even worse than current.
@AAQ
I don’t hide that I attended the Wharton School of Finance (UPENN) 50+ years ago.
I no longer donate money and was thrilled the University President was forced to resign.
That said, I didn’t change my name (I am a 5th generation American with an English name that could be any ethnicity) or appearance.
It was the Jewish faculty that was most mocking and disrespectful of orthodoxy. Non-Jewish faculty were appreciative when given a calendar at the beginning of the semester marking Yuntif days and requesting no exams be given, that I would not be in attendance and assignments handed in the following class day (long before email and personal computers), Jewish professors would say: it’s not RH or YK, too bad.
Then I would go see the Catholic University chaplain who would handle it (the reform ‘Rabbi’ who was the Jewish chaplain was worthless).I still teach at a law school and a local University. I prerecord lectures and post on line for holiday conflicts.
Being a frum Jew in a suit with beard and head covering has been much easier over the decadesThere are roughly 6,000 colleges in the U.S and about 2/3 of those institutions are research universities granting advanced degrees. Students at the large percentage of these schools are not preoccupied with political issues from the far left or right and go about their studies as they have for decades. A relatively small number of these schools (albeit some of the most “prestigious”) account for most of the demonstrations, incidents of suppression of unpopular political views and actual harassment. The events of the past several months are likely to be a wake up call to those small number of schools that they risk losing major public and private funding if they continue to tolerate blatant hate speech in the name of “academic freedom”.
@Gadol
Sorry, but you are way off base in your numbers for research University in the USA.
The Carnegie classification system recognizes only 108 and the 2021 study of American Universities recognized about 150.
The ‘problem/activist’ universities such as Harvard, PENN, Yale are Research Universities
