@arash_tehran Yes! I think there are many issues that those of us in the "middle" can easily agree on: Hamas is a terrorist organization, the settlements in the West Bank/East Jerusalem are illegal, we oppose the occupation.

@arash_tehran @Columbia For example: "Hamas committed inexcusable acts of brutality against civilians and they should be held responsible for their war crimes. The only way to make sure this never happens again is work towards a two-state-solution and Palestinian rights."

To be clear: I'm not against calling out microaggressions. I just think it's an inexcusable double standard when you can't answer yes to this question about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates university code of conduct/harassment policy.

I agree with @Tyler_A_Harper . However even if such language is entirely performative and a way for students to signal how "radically progressive" they are, the fact remains: calling Oct 7 a "counteroffensive" is incredibly offensive and dehumanizes Israelis.

There’s a reason why intentionally inflammatory political language increases in direct proportion to US News & World Report college rankings. It’s a bunch of over-resourced elites with reverse status anxiety trying to prove their radical bonafides to other elites in their circle.

The @Columbia administration should be ashamed. This type of hate speech not only legitimizes the terror perpetrated by Hamas on Oct 7, but also puts our Israeli and Jewish students at risk.

@ProfJAParker So that implies that one student chanting, "globalize the intifada" in Lobby 7 is totally ok. Not even investigated. If this were about any other group, e.g. African Americans, the world would be having a meltdown right now.

but at the same time recognize the inherent rights of the Jewish people to their own ethno-nation-state. Let me add that a compelling reason for a Jewish nation-state is their constant persecution throughout history and their desire for self-preservation. 3/3

Let me affirm my stand on this. The ONLY solution is a two-state solution. Palestinians and Israelis both have the right to self-determination on that land.

@AnshelPfeffer I understand that the US college president controversy is very low on the priority scale relative to Israel-Hamas. But I think it is symptomatic of how we (liberal Americans) are tied to Israel in this particular moment and our relationship going forward.
