Campus Hamas Supporters Don't Just Hate Israel, They Hate Jews
(Makor Rishon-Hebrew-3Nov2023) Ariel Shenbal - Antisemitic sentiments in parts of American academia are nothing new. What is new is the awakening of the Jewish community, which currently appears also in those seen as more liberal, who are beginning to understand that this isn't about anti-Israelism or anti- the specific government that rules in Jerusalem, but pure antisemitism. Social media is full of heartbreaking texts from Jewish students who are admitting that they were part of the "woke" movement - and that in the past month they understood that this outlook, that they were born into and grew up in, wants in effect to erase them off the face of the earth. Not the State of Israel - that's already clear from the antisemitic slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," that has transformed into an anthem on a few campuses - but rather them as Jews.
