Two Separate Thoughts

​1.
 
Do you remember when you were a little kid and you would be making like an art project or something? I don’t know, with glue and popsicle sticks or pipe cleaners or something, and you’re making this thing and it’s falling over or it’s not sticking and not quite working right and your mom or dad or a teacher come over and they say you know what maybe you should start from scratch.
 
Maybe you should start from scratch.
 
It’s not quitting. It’s not giving up. It’s recognizing that what you were making no matter how hard you try to fix it with extra glue or with tape, you know Band-Aid it together… It just isn’t gonna happen.
 
Our government is like that.

But let’s talk about being a Jewish student on our College and University campuses these days. 
 
The following took place over FIVE DAYS, from November 18th - November 22nd.
 
So, near Ohio State, pitiful face-covered cowards—who truly believe their outfits are cool—marched down the street with Swastika emblazed flags. 
 
Wanted signs of Jewish faculty were plastered all over the walls at the University of Rochester.  Four students were arrested in connection with these posters, as this act is considered an act of antisemitic vandalism (it should be considered a hate crime), and they are each facing up to 7 years in prison. (Good, finally, there are consequences to your actions)
 
A subgroup of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers called “Educators for Palestine” hosted a 3-hour event last Friday with speaker Taher Herzallah (He is affiliated with the University of Minnesota), titled “Being an Educator in a Time of War and Genocide."…..  This is his quote: “Anybody who has any relationship or any support or identifies themselves as a Jewish person or as a Christian Zionist, then we shall not be their friend. I will tell you that they are enemy number one and our community needs to recognize that as such.”
 
At UCLA, Students For Justice in Palestine are all in on GLORIFYING THE INTIFADA. They violated the UCLA code of conduct 3 times already this school year! The year started September 23rd.
 
At the University of Virginia, Jewish students are being threatened with guns. By their “activist” peers. In their dorms.
 
There was a pro-Hamas walk-out at the University of Cincinnati.  Pro-Hamas ??!!!??!!
 
At the University of Missouri, they host a weekly anti-Israel protest.  A university Professor, Rasha Abousalem, often participates along with students holding signs that read “Save Hamas.”  
 
Columbia had a campus wide lockdown because of how unsafe it is for Jewish students, as pro-Hamas (pro-Hamas??!!??) students chanted outside the School’s Hillel Chapter.  They are demanding that Hillel be shut down. They are literally protesting the existence of Jews on campus.
 
At the University of Michigan, masked pro-Hamas protestors disrupted a talk about Jewish involvement in the civil rights movement. Masked?!? Like, grow some balls and show your friggin’ faces if you feel so strongly about what you are doing.
 
UC Berkely had a pro-Hamas walk-out.  Pro-Hamas ??!?!!!  WTF.   Participants were heard shouting “we don't want no two states, we want all of '48."  This is a call for genocide of Israelis.
 
Two Jewish students at DePaul University were assaulted while showing support for Israel, by pro-Hamas activist chanting “from the river to the sea.”
 
Hamas supporters (how are these students Hamas supporters, don’t they know Hamas would literally kill them in an instant?) at Sarah Lawrence stormed and occupied the Administration Buildings on campus.  They literally took over the Sarah Lawrence campus. They scrawled graffiti with phrases like “Zionism will fall, revolution until victory.”
 
At Stony Brook, in NY, banners are hung with red handprints. Painted red hands symbolize the “craze to see blood,” signify the emasculation of Jews and the desire for a "bloody defeat.”
 
At Harvard, students continue to gather and chant “from the river to the sea,” in support of the ethnic cleansing of Israel.  Don’t forget… even Claudine Gay (remember Claudine Gay) admitted that the phrase “from the river to the sea” is antisemitic. When Claudine Gay says you’re acting like an antisemite, you’re an antisemite.
 
A Teacher Assistant at San Diego State called Israelis “murderers” and walks around campus, with her face covered (of course) and a bull horn, chanting “from the river to the sea.” 
 
At Cal State University in Sacramento, Students for Justice for Palestine (SJP) writes the following: The Judeo Terrorist Zionist have had 100 years of unfettered time, and over 76 years of the worlds sympathy because of the Holocaust to lay their sickly roots. Zionist are disgusting humans and monsters.
 
Oh, and there’s new organization in town, FJP—Faculty for Justice in Palestine. Schools with an FJP chapter have anti-Israel protest activity that lasted 2.5 times longer and 9.5 times more days those that didn’t have an FJP chapter. In schools with FJP chapters, encampments were likely to last 4.7 times more days. Schools with an FJP group were 7.3 times more likely to have incidents involving physical violence targeting Jews than schools without an FJP group and were also 3.4 times more likely to have incidents involving death threats or threats of physical harm targeting Jews.   Not the most conducive environment for learning when your professor targets you for being Jewish, is it?
 
At Pratt, in Brooklyn, they are calling for the end of Israel.
 
I can keep going…. 
 
Nice, huh.
