Reinforcing anti-Semitic tropes all across the political spectrum.
What are the most toxic anti-Semitic tropes?
"Jews control the institutions."
This is absolutely reinforcing this.
Any young American will think, “Remember what happened when they took down the world’s greatest university system on behalf of Jewish safety?”
This will go down in history books. The history of this era will say that Jewish people were the sledgehammer for fascism.
If we don’t speak out—if we American Jews do not speak out against this—this will be a history as Americans.
It is the first time in my life as an American that I have been fearful of our status as equal Americans.
Not because of the protests on campus, which, as I said, had a lot of Jewish students in them.
But because we are suddenly at the center of politics—U.S. politics.
It is never good to be in the crosshairs for us.
And we are being used to destroy democracy.
The history books are going to be harsh unless we, Jewish Americans, can say:
This should not be done in our name.
Finally, by focusing on us, they are erasing the atrocities and horrors that are happening in Gaza. They are shifting the true victims here—not just Palestinians who are here—but the victims in Gaza and the West Bank of the Israeli government’s policies.
That's not relevant. Did you see the video? The people pushing this are Zionists, Jewish and non Jewish.
