Excellent quote from the article: > [@](#): > > Regardless of what initial intentions student protesters might have for chants such as “[globalize the intifada](https://www.ajc.org/news/what-does-globalize-the-intifada-mean-and-how-can-it-lead-to-targeting-jews-with-violence),” or any of the other slogans associated with eliminating Jewish people from Israel’s land, they can no longer pretend not to know that their use causes many people a reasonably felt sense of intimidation. On this matter, the Age of Innocence is behind us. If college campuses regularly had groups of kids chanting “White power,” I would not be comfortable sending my children there, even if those chanters never took a “targeted” action against a specific person. In the other thread, a question was asked: > [@Banquet\_Bear](#): > > > [@Hari\_Seldon](#): > > > > It is call to genocide. The rest of the phrase is, “Palestine will be free [of Jews]”. > > …if thats the rest of the phrase, then why is in brackets? The answer is, for the same reason that the brackets exist in “The Civil War was about States’ Rights [to legalize owning Black people as property]”. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-bad-was-claudine-gays-plagiarism-she-resigned-jan-2-2024/994945)._
