Personally know a faculty member at Barnard who fled the Holocaust as a child. Sure he must just be delighted to witness such terrifying bullshit. Fuck these monsters.

Making a list of who is Jewish?
Dude... Really? I'm not sure if I should laugh, cry, or be terrorized inside.
Don't worry, things have flipped. They now see the jews as the master race, so they are just making a promotion list.
I think I've heard about this before by some really angry dude from years ago. Oh, man, what was his name...?
Let's put an end to antisemitism by -- putting a star symbol highlighting the profile of every confirmed Jew or Israeli? Where have I heard this before...
I'm going to wager a wild guess: Jews and Israelis who oppose apartheid and genocide (IJV etc) and are facing harassment for it are not going to be considered as victims of harassment and discrimination. Only "good" Jews who are pro Israel will count, none of the "bad" ones. And nobody is going to even think of the word "antisemitism" when it comes to them being called JINOs.
Its pretty obvious, as mentioned in the article that they are just fishing for someone who has been "harmed" by pro Palestinian protests for their lawsuits. Fishing for standing is what this is.
Bad hombres
Ah yes. Let's have the government collect a list of all the Jewish people. That generally ends well.
They're following their role model's playbook to a t.
Problem is pro Palestinian people don't hate Jews (with exceptions), they hate Israeli government, a quasi-fascist apartheid state. There is a real problem with equating anti-Israel sentiment with antisemitism. I don't have a problem with Saudi people, but their government is awful. I have no problem with Afghan people, but the Taliban are cocksuckers.
There's a real problem these days with governments not representing their people. The underclasses are going to have to break out the guillotines and straight up murder the rich in order to reset the cycle.
Man, I wrote this comment and I still feel like it took a couple of turns I wasn't expecting.
but the Taliban are cocksuckers
There's nothing wrong with that, but they are also boy-rapists.
doesnt help that israel, AIPAC have many people(politicians and university donors) in the west calling criticism against israel= antisemitic. even when this all came out jon stewart was pretty hesitant around calling out israel.
The mainstream media and main stream adjacent media were and still are pretty silent.
If I could pick a nit or two, Jewish people internationally are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government. Israeli citizens might be -- and while Netanyahu and Likud are extremely controversial in Israel, they do represent a significant and very vocal portion of the Israeli voting public. Worse, general Israeli sentiment towards Palestine and Palestinians is not good -- 60% of Israelis still support the war after 18 months of wholesale civilian slaughter in Gaza. 70% support the ongoing settlement and annexation of the West Bank. The positions of the major Israeli parties on Palestinian lives and rights differ from Netanyahu's "kill 'em all" approach mostly in degree rather than in kind.
To put the rotten cherry on the shit cake, Israel has one of the highest rates of dual citizenship in the world, with ~10% of Israelis holding two passports. Unlike the other countries you named, a significant fraction of Israelis could just leave if they no longer wanted to co-sign their government's genocide in Gaza. I am perfectly willing to hold the Israeli people responsible for the actions of their government, moreso than I am for the other countries you mentioned. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine was not forced on them against the popular will. They chose this, and continue to choose this, by a large majority.
Yeah. I mean. It's the Middle East. There's no clear moral solution (though it sure as fuck isn't genocide). There is a huge grain of salt that needs to accompany any hot takes including mine.
If the parties involved wanted a clear moral solution there's a very clear precedent in the form of South Africa's truth and reconciliation process. For that to happen, though, Israelis would have to be willing to acknowledge Palestinians' fundamental right to exist, and as I noted above they're currently opposed to that by a 2:1 ratio, and Palestinians do not have the power or tools to force the issue. The international community would have to drag Israel to the negotiation table kicking and screaming, and as long as they've got the US on their side that's not going to happen. Realistic political solutions seem remote right now, sure -- but if you're just talking about a moral one, it's shockingly simple.
You are right that coming together and accepting one another's right to peacefully coexist is the moral thing to do, but as that is a practical impossibility I didn't/don't really credit it as a moral solution (failing the second word of the phrase, not the first).
But look, people way smarter than me have tried to crack this nut and failed. I guarantee it won't take a lot of effort to poke holes in anything I could say about this. I have my thoughts but always tempered by the understanding that I have more ignorance than knowledge about the realities of that situation.
I don't hate a lot of Americans but I sure can't stand our President and the rest of his fascist enablers
I get your point not equating Jews with the Israeli government, but it was tye Israeli population the one blocking the humanitarian aid trunks, the ones who keep voting for their apartheid state and who keep the army full of bodies.
Well we shouldn't equate Jews to the Jewish Israeli population either.
I mean that's fair, but the American people also voted for Trump and I don't really get a say in how we are mistreating immigrants, so I don't hold individual Jews accountable for their government unless they support advocate for that government and those tactics.
Somewhat semi-related question: Do you believe Trump being elected was as a result of a systemic failure (money in politics, propaganda/brainwashing, and such)?
Also, do you blame Americans in general for ICE becoming the Gestapo?
