New York is rife with Zionism. :)

Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism, no matter what any Jewish person may tell you - Anti-Zionism is perfectly valid.

The city is full of Zionists, let alone the university itself which recently had an open letter go viral where 540 Jewish Columbia students said Zionism is core to their identity. It's not at all shocking to see this kind of pressure being applied there

Good. Jewish students don't deserve the hate they're receiving for simply existing.

Zionists deserve every ounce of hate they get for being Nazis who are in favour of genocide.

The fact that we as people haven't made ANY progress when it comes to this situation is insane. Like you have photo and video evidence of a genocide with people getting slaughtered, burned alive, babies being shot and beheaded, mothers being slaughtered AND MANY other instances and y'all still ******* feel the need to defend Israel and to be a zionis even on this website which is full of LGBTQ people who know damn well how it feels to be hated on FOR NO REASON. Awful.

NYC is home to the largest Jewish community in the world. It's not surprising that some of them feel unsafe in their own city after months of civil unrest supporting an foreign organization that wants the annihilation of Jews.

Nine months later and you are still equating millions calling for an immediate ceasefire and the end of the occupation of Palestine, including a good portion of Jewish individuals and groups, with anything but exactly that is both disgusting and disingenuous. May all terrible things flow your way my friend :heart:

If you can't engage in a discussion without immediately calling the other person disgusting and wishing harm to them, there really isn't anything else to say.

I only do that to people deliberately spreading lies and misinformation, which you continue to do. Have a lovely day. Or don't. I don't care what happens to Israel defenders and genocide supporters :ducky:

I mean I'm not denying that it's a safety concern, much like any other political unrest that occurs among a set of people of varying viewpoints. It's just simply wrong to say anti-Zionism is antisemitism as if anti-Zionist Jews don't exist. It's propaganda. As if innocent Jews should accept having their fate binded to such an insidious Zionist project without valid criticism.

I agree that anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitism. But some (not all) of the anti-Israel/anti-Zionism rhetoric and rallies have certainly featured antisemitic traits, both veiled and blatant.

That's true, and that's an issue that needs to be better addressed and handled. The notion that antisemitism and anti-Zionism are one of the same is seriously problematic though. It's a Zionist way of controlling the narrative and feeding antisemitism. It's no different from the anti-Arab racism that penetrated the Israeli educational curriculum.

Yeah it's not a big surprise given that people in NYC are parading around Hezbollah and Hamas flags and chanting "Long live October 7" outside of an exhibit commemorating Israeli terror victims.

Valid criticism of any country is not bigotry. Even if Israel was peacefully living with their neighbors this rule would still be stupid.

Maybe they should offer a course on Palestinian hatred too since we've seen a lot of it following Oct 7th and before:

You got some nerve. NYC's Jewish community are stamding in solidarity with Palestinians. Who do you thinks have been the biggest critics of Benny's Genocidal regime?

Nice deflection from the topic sis. Considering that you have 0 problem with "peaceful pro-Palestine protesters" chanting "legitimate anti-Zionist critiques" such as "Long live October 7", "the Zionists are not Jews and not humans" and "I wish Hitler was still here, he would've wiped you all out", not sure why anyone would take your opinion on this topic seriously.
