Unfortunately, they don’t consult me before they decide on the terminology. Health “equity” in practice basically means trying to figure out why, for example, the rates of HIV infection are so much higher among black men than they are among any other group, and which of those reasons might be preventable. Yes, some people take it to ridiculous extremes or flawed conclusions (especially in election years), but it’s mostly a noble and worthwhile pursuit. It SHOULD mean that in practice. But the DEI Machine ensures it only means that in theory. So some people, yes. Unfortunately, those some are the ones running these programs. LMAO. It must be fun to just make up whatever nonsense supports your hate for an entire half of the population without worrying about logic and reason the way you do.

I'm sorry, but anyone trying to make a "Not All Protestors" argument, including this woman from the Times, can go fuck themselves. If there is a pro Hamas voice in your protest, and that voice is not expelled, then you own it. Every one of these demonstrations is pro Hamas, whether or not Lulu Garcia-Navarro, or oop , want to admit it. No, it really isn't. You can retell this lie a thousand more times and it still won't make it true. Tell me why it's ok to protest Israel, in union with people who openly support Hamas. Because while certainly not everyone at these protests outwardly supports hams, some certainly do.

I'm going to disagree and say that this is not the most antisemitic thing happening on college campuses.
The open support for Hamas, killing jews, and the destruction of the State of Israel seems more antisemitic to me that Republicans taking note of it.

Interesting that she notes "Republican exhortations to condemn and fight antisemitism on campus." Is it her sense that there haven't been such from Democrats? If there have been, why were only the Republican ones motivating (and therefore problematic)? If there haven't been ... why in the hell not?

You can't deal with people like this.

Because while certainly not everyone at these protests outwardly supports hams, some certainly do. Should those people be shouted down? Absolutely. Are there incidents when that is happening? Despite your claims to the contrary, yes, there are. It should happen more. It should happen every time. The Black Lives Matter protestors shouldn't have tolerated the looters, either, but that doesn't invalidate everything they had to say. There are bitter, angry people among the protesters. There are bigots among the protestors. There are people like you among the protestors, too. By that, I mean people who couldn't care less about Israel or Gaza. They just want to vent their spleens about people they don't like. I'm not sure I buy into everything in this opinion piece, but I signed on to share it. It includes an example of exactly the sort of thing you have been insisting does not happen, a protestor shouting down someone spewing anti-Jewish hate. he Student-Led Protests Aren’t Perfect. That Doesn’t Mean They’re Not Right.

One of my favorite new meme formats. Of course you like it. It shares the dishonest narrative you have been posting about the protestors from the beginning. You insist that the few are the all and that just isn't true.

She is focused on Republicans using the protests for political gain rather than giving a damn about what is actually happening in Israel and Gaza. We have examples of that on this very board and among the politicians. I'm sure we also have some Republicans who have genuine, positive motivations, too, but I don't think it is all or even most of them.

It's not the most anti-Jewish thing going on, but it is anti-Jewish. You have been doing it since October, as have many other Republicans. You fake hysterical outrage on behalf of Jewish people thinking you can manipulate us by preaching support for Israel as if that is all we care about.

So many of these kids do not seem smart, or educated at all.

No. No. oop says these are authentic Jews, who just do not support Israeli policy.
