Opinion: Nothing has prepared me for the antisemitism I see on college campuses now
LA Times via MSN ^ | 10/29/2023 | Erwin Chemerinsky

Posted on 10/30/2023 4:09:12 PM PDT by Michael.SF.

I was stunned when students across the country, including mine, immediately celebrated the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7. Students for Justice in Palestine called the terror attack a “historic win” for the “Palestinian resistance.” A Columbia professor called the Hamas massacre “awesome” and a “stunning victory.” A Yale professor tweeted, “It’s been such an extraordinary day!” while calling Israel a “murderous, genocidal settler state.” A Chicago art professor posted a note reading, “Israelis are pigs. Savages. Very very bad people. Irredeemable excrement…. May they all rot in hell.” A UC Davis professor tweeted, “Zionist journalists … have houses w addresses, kids in school,” adding “they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.” There are, sadly, countless other examples.

It is a very difficult time on campuses across the country. Many of our students and faculty members have family and friends in Israel or in Gaza. Many care deeply about the suffering we are seeing, and yet there is no bridge between those who seek the elimination of Israel and those who believe it is essential to have a Jewish state. I hope there will be a time when campus officials can find ways to bring their communities together. But it is not realistic now. This makes it all the more important that they show moral leadership and speak out against the antisemitism that is rampant now, as they would condemn all other forms of racism and hate on campus.

That sounds about right. Chemerinsky authored one of the best legal treatises on Federal civil rights law and is a leading authority on that complex subject. It often happens that academics who are fully devoted to their field and that life prove to be astonishingly gullible about the rest of the world.

I took the word of my brother-in-law, who has known him for several years. Thanks for the confirmation.

No doubt these are the same people who call Trump Hitler.

That passage doesn’t read that way to me

Nor to me

Rev.3:9 Take note, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet and make them know [without any doubt] that I have loved you.

I expect even the USA will turn on Israel when the Antichrist arises

By then we expect the whole world 🌎🌍 to be divided into 10 regional powers against Israel

He’s been willfully ignorant and intellectually dishonest for decades.

This is the result of ignoring what Muslims tell us.

If you believe what they say, then you're an Islamophobe in PC America.

But that is standard operating procedure for the left. Anything which creates cognitive dissonance for them is dismissed, minimized, ignored or spun in such a way that reality is completely distorted.

If Chemerinsky was unprepared for this, then he is an imbecile and has no business on a college faculty.

God Himself chastised the Israelites as a “stiff necked people.”

I never considered that the Church in Philadelphia would be associated with the United States, or perhaps some part of the United States.

He is a liar. It has been evident for decades. I remember islamic punks at my college in Fresno stirring up trouble all the time.

We are coming upon a time where not discussing politics becomes impossible.

The left always thinks the revolutionaries will never come for them.

They are always wrong.

Chem is a leftist fool and always has been. Someone must have kicked him in the balls which shook up his brain in his ass for him to have woken up to reality.

He is not trustworthy.
