Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[The Sultan]

C'mon man, ur kiddin'. Some of the country's most select universities like Northwestern, Stanford, Penn, Harvard, and even UW have verbally and physically throw their support toward Hamas' atrocities. And those schools, along with their outspoken students, will be held accountable, aina?

Here is the UW chancellor's statement. No idea what you are talking about.

I did Doc's homework for him ...

Stanford:
As a moral matter, we condemn all terrorism and mass atrocities. This includes the deliberate attack on civilians this weekend by Hamas.
https://news.stanford.edu/report/2023/10/11/update-stanford-community/


Northwestern:
The abhorrent and horrific actions of Hamas on Saturday are clearly antithetical to Northwestern's values — as well as my own. Whatever we might feel about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, our shared humanity should lead us all to condemn these barbaric acts."
https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/10/13/campus/schill-issues-new-statement-on-israel-hamas-war-free-speech/

Penn:
I want to leave no doubt about where I stand. I, and this University, are horrified by and condemn Hamas's terrorist assault on Israel and their violent atrocities against civilians. There is no justification—none—for these heinous attacks, which have consumed the region and are inciting violence in other parts of the world.

Pakuni, what use are official statements when a bunch of students got someone to change the lighting on the Northwestern library?

I'm happy to share all emails I have received from UPenn, if you'd like. I can tell you that it is a bit of a shite show there. President Magill's first statement as sent out by the board was, in my opinion, not strong enough not just due to the disgusting acts of Hamas but also because UPenn has a large number of Jewish students who should feel safe. Some on the board have since come out against the very statement they approved, unusual and, in my opinion, good.

Very recently, there was a Palestinian Writers event there that resulted in several acts of hate towards the Jewish students. The University botched the handling of the event and its response, in my opinion. The event was to be a good one, meant to highlight Palestinian art, but was mired by noted antisemitic speakers.

Since their initial response to the terrorism against Israel, UPenn has released a very strong worded statement condemning Hamas while standing for peace and humanity. However, there is some chatter that several board members challenged Magill, resigned or were told they could resign, which led to the new release. Additionally, several prominent donors and high level business people have called for donations to stop until Magill and the COB Scott Bok resign.

There will certainly be consequences, and that is absolutely the right of anyone associated with UPenn or otherwise.

Other than trying to enforce certain stereotypes, why is it important  to some that a university condemn a terrorist attack?

Why so cranky, Doc? You have a decent chance to get an insurrectionist to lead the very chamber against which he helped organize a violent coup attempt. Some of those backing him are antisemites, sure, but still ... cheer up!

Yeah, considering these are supposed to be places of research and debate, looking for "the University of X's unified position" on anything is weird.

As long as they only support students I agree with, I'm fine with their statements.  We need to crush universities and limit learning as best we can

Hey, republicans are consistent. They all condemned MAGAt's assault on the Capitol.

People often look to college presidents, as leaders of communities, to comment on current events. But they usually are about reflecting on how it impacts the community versus condemning something. The UW's statement is almost exactly how these things read.

My sister-in-law in Tel Aviv has been providing the family and some friends daily updates on their situation. Here is how she began today's. She is a very opinionated, very Jewish, and (obviously) very very very pro-Israel ...

+++
Let's start this day by dispelling some terms thrown against Israel:

We are an apartheid state.  Ask any South African what apartheid means.  No black person could use the same toilets, they could not seat on the same public benches.  I believe that they couldn't even walk on the same pavement.  The women were maids earning meagre wages and the men were gardeners or only had menial jobs.  Arabs in Israel are treated equally.  95% of all pharmacists are Arabs; Arabs are doctors, nurses, brigadiers in the army, they have their own businesses and pay the same taxes.  We recently had a huge renovation to our apartment.  Our builders were Arabs.  We had various quotes for carpentry, for the builders themselves, for the electrician etc.  We chose the Arab companies – why?  Easy – their work was top notch.

We are occupying Gaza.  Gaza is NOT a part of Israel.  We have not a legal responsibility to Gaza.  We left Gaza in 2005.  As a result they had "fair and open" elections.  Hamas won.  Hamas ran on the ticket that they would provide health services, they would build wealth for the Palestinians.  The net result was yes they did provide some social benefits and they also built wealth for themselves.  If you are gay then you can expect to be executed if you are caught.  Tel Aviv is the gay capital of the world.  Israel provides the infrastructure for the electricity. However, the Palestinians are supposed to pay for this.  They haven't paid for quite a while.   Listen to Joe Biden's speech last night when he said that it would not be a good idea for Israel to occupy Gaza AGAIN - affirming that we do not occupy Gaza.

She went on to add:

Bibi's legacy is dead!  He will be remembered as the power-mad egotist who fell asleep on his watch.  He was so infatuated by the far, far right that the money that should have gone on defence, education and the health services here instead went on supporting his personal causes.

Do they?
I'm sure you are correct in regards to the university community.
But the public as a whole? Does Doc really look to the presidents of Harvard and Penn for leadership on international affairs? I suspect no more than his local high school principal or the guy who manages the local Wal-Mart (who, I'll note, has been suspiciously quiet about all this. Why hasn't he condemned Hamas???)

Yeah I mean the university community.  Most people don't give a rip what a university president says about anything outside the community.
