But it seems like the primary thrust of those who condemn the protests is to depict them not as they are but rather in a way that suits the arguments of these outside critics. They conflate criticism with Israel or political positions with anti-Semitism.
Further, much of what is being called "anti-Semitic" language or "pro-Hamas" language is neither. It is simply students and faculty seeking to promote peace and the legitimate claims to self-determination of the Palestinian people.
This is NOT what vile antisemitism looks like. The media is not being fair and even handed about the Columbia campus protests.

@tribelaw The radical right considers the trial delay a victory but only because Trump may then be able to act to cover up his criminal behavior. They don't care that his behavior is criminal, just don't want him to pay the price. It's really disgusting.
@tribelaw This is an easier question than Bush v. Gore, which was settled in days. Is the president above the law? When acting in the national interest, in the context of war, the answer is “no“ - still not above the law! Trump, acting in his own interests? The answer is “no”.
“Here is what is crystal clear. If the Court waits until the end of its session in June to decide the case, there is little chance for a trial to complete before the election. If the Court sends the case back to the lower courts, there is no chance. We will know that we have a…

This is cruel.
"I Am a Jewish Student at Columbia. Don’t Believe What You’re Being Told About ‘Campus Antisemitism’" Important, powerful, detailed-filled piece from student @jbenmenachem, exclusively for Zeteo: zeteo.com/p/i-am-a-jewis…
@djrothkopf This is the best statement I have seen about the unprecedented unrest in our own country over a war that is thousands of miles away. Being against the war, or for a two state solution is being portrayed as anti-semitism, as is calling for peace. This is as Orwellian as it gets.
So too is bringing in the New York City police an intimidation tactic. So too is denying a valedictorian the right to speak because of her political views a tactic that says "those views will not be tolerated here." The challenge for university administrators is great.
Universities or other institutions that succumb to donor or other outside pressure tactics to censor viewpoints are not only devaluing their role as academic institutions, they are seeking to intimidate those who hold those views into silence.
...any educational institution that does not have a vigorous debate around the points cited above and counter-arguments to them is failing to create in its educational mission. These are critical questions of political science, international affairs, morality, and philosophy.

@lucyham I'm sorry you did. We have been unequivocal in our condemnation of what has happened in Gaza and in our desire to report on the human side of the suffering the war has produced.
So too is bringing in the New York City police an intimidation tactic. So too is denying a valedictorian the right to speak because of her political views a tactic that says "those views will not be tolerated here." The challenge for university administrators is great.
Universities or other institutions that succumb to donor or other outside pressure tactics to censor viewpoints are not only devaluing their role as academic institutions, they are seeking to intimidate those who hold those views into silence.
...any educational institution that does not have a vigorous debate around the points cited above and counter-arguments to them is failing to create in its educational mission. These are critical questions of political science, international affairs, morality, and philosophy.
Terrorism is reprehensible. Any efforts to intimidate Jews should be denied on college campuses and violators should be punished. But "intimidation" does not include peacefully arguing any of the above points. Indeed, as I have said before...
Hamas is a vile terrorist organization that should be negated as a factor in the Middle East. But saying things while peacefully protesting that have also been said by Hamas does not make one a supporter of Hamas. Those who are supporters of Hamas should be condemned.
...and human rights violations. As offensive as phrases like "the river to the sea" may seem, they are no more offensive than the reality of an Israel seeking to exert their political control from "the river to the sea" and negate the legitimate claims of Palestinians.
Also not anti-Semitism: Condemnation of the serial war crimes and human rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank, demands for organizations to divest from states that commit war crimes and violate human rights, demands that the US stop providing weapons used in war crimes...
I'm a Jew-loving Jew. Anti-Semitism is never ok. Here's what is not anti-Semitism: Peaceful protest, criticism of the Israeli government, calling for an independent Palestine, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, using the term apartheid to describe Israel, questioning Zionism.
"Democratic leaders have begun inching closer to the progressive view that it is against U.S. interests to continue sending unconditional U.S. military aid to Mr. Netanyahu’s government in an asymmetrical war that has killed thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza."…
@nycpa I am ashamed of you for buying into this. The students protestors, many of whom are Jewish, are NOT antisemitic.
@nycpa These are Jewish students protesting for justice and risking their futures to do it.
I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.
