Some context that is missing about specific personal attacks against people. While chanting for the death of countries is regrettable, I don’t believe that’s why the cops were ultimately called in. This is the badly executed end result of months of harassment. Jews going to class have received death threats. I am in the process of sourcing these. Additionally, I have a photo of a Columbia student pro-Palestinian protester holding a sign that says “Al-Qasam’s next targets” with an arrow pointing at the group of Pro-Israel protesters behind her. Al-Qasam is Hamas’s militant wing. She is directly calling for the targeting of peaceful students. Perhaps public universities have more of an obligation to split hairs, but if I were a Jewish or Israeli student there who had received death threats, I would have called the police. I am not seeing this anywhere. Even Biden’s response is banal. The current writing reinforces the notion that anti-semitism is levied whenever a slight criticism emerges. This is simply not true, and it is doing a huge disservice to the larger discourse.
