Not my thread but there are already threads discussing the recent bits at the elite institutions. My comment that spurred this thread was that the blind eye to Jew hate is not new and not restricted to the elite programs. I shared my daughter’s experience and her perspective while there. So one, let’s leave the recent bits to their threads and expand this more broadly please.
What bothered my daughter most was first the bit with the program for support of survivors of sexual support which she had worked with. Materials to volunteers were made into promotion of minimally anti-Zionism and it was declared that anyone who would not condemn Israel was not welcome which persisted despite requests that the important service be open to all. And then the gaslighting by the university president who denied events and lambasted those complaining as uninformed and promoting false claims. Explicitly creating an environment in which asking for help got you labeled as the problem.
Investigations demonstrated the claims were not false or uninformed and he ended up leaving.
Indeed these were not Arab students as the instigators. White progressive ones.
Yes, the current narrative paints not only Israel as the oppressor, but American Jews as such within our country as they are stereotyped as the privileged. And Jewish Americans are disproportionately more often upper middle class or higher and well educated. Ergo they are oppressor class and not needing protection. They are the problem.
25% of the age group thinks the Holocaust is a myth and many more just don’t know.
Funny aside for my daughter. Adopted from China so during Covid time I was concerned about her having to deal with anti-Asian hate. That she never had to deal with.
