They aren’t protesting against their fellow Jewish students, they are protesting against the university establishment because they want the university’s endowment funds not to be invested in arm makers who can be considered peripherally complicit in the Gaza war.

There’s many Jewish students who are themselves participating in these protest. One Columbia student protester said they even had interfaith seders and other services going on within the encampment. You can be against the protesters but it’s incorrect to label them antisemitic.

This would be interesting, if true. Can you provide a source supporting your comment? Many thanks.

A divestrment from Israel means not investing in Israeli companies. Others go further and call for divestment from companies doing business in Israel.

I was at Columbia last weekend and this week. (Still have my CuID.) There are indeed ethnic Jews and non-Jews with a Jewish parent. There are virtually no practicing Jews, as almost all actual Jews have left campus for their safety. The anti-Zionist and often antisemitic tokens are perfectly safe. As for the "seder," it was no such thing. A seder ends with the call "Next Year in Jerusalem." The Jewish Voices for Terrorism Seder is as authentic as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are Catholic. Jews have been assaulted at these events

Please give us more communist talking point, comrade Jim
