Re: Antisemitism
Global DEI brings large numbers of Muslims to college campuses everywhere. They are numerous enough to demonstrate for Pallestinian issues on campus. Sometime loudly and with threats of violence.
This makes Jewish students fear for their safety.
I don’t know if this meets your definition of antisemitism or not. Many think it does promote antisemitism.
Your answer is right there. They are demonstrating FOR Palestinian issues. That is not antisemitism.

Yes, but threats of violence violate the concept of peaceful demonstration. And when Jews feel threatened they see it as antisemitism. And it encourages others to practice antisemitism.
We also hear stories of faculty members who promote antisemitism. I think they should be disciplined at minimum and maybe fired.
Israel has been accused of genocide on the Gaznians. The extensive destruction was mandated by the choices made by Hamas. I think genocide is language too strong. But yes, I suspect Israel wants to punish Gaznians for their support of Hamas. When will they learn?
Who are the religious leaders of Gaza? Do they support Hamas? Or do they encourage peaceful solution to the situation?
A basic question is what is the literacy rate in Gaza. Turns out to be very high. Over 90%.
In the old west, many did not read and write. When you receive a letter what does the illiterate do with it? Take it to someone who reads and writes. That is usually a businessman/store keeper or a religious leader. Those leaders are widely respected and often become community leaders.
If the religious leaders of Gaza want peace, they can probably arrange it. Their leadership is a potential asset.
Gaza has a significant but imperilled by out migration Christian component (similar to West Bank), a similarly significant Shia component, some minor other non-Sunni Muslim sects, others, and an overwhelming majority Sunni but of various different traditions.
Hamas wants none of the complications, although has a pretense of Sunni orthodoxy, and (paid for by Iran) tolerance of Shias.
Here is something else for that Muslim realtor in Dearborn, who was so sure he would not be deported, to chew on.
…he signed an executive order that said: “The US must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the US do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles.”

I largely agree, especially on the point about genocide being too strong.
Would you agree with me that while genocide is not accurate, ethnic cleansing is accurate?
It was a war that Hamas has proclaimed since 2006. Right now is the first peace. Most of the dead were Hamas. Either the militants or their family members.
It was not a famine.
It was not ethnic cleansing.
It was not genocide.
People had no problem lying about Jews. The press is still trying to help that lying.
It was hugely anti Jewish as usual.
There are four worse wars in the region that have nothing to do with the Israelis. No one cares. The Muslims slaughtering each other is a non issue. Famine, genocide, ethnic cleansing all non issues.
If all Muslims are going to do in this country is proclaim their hatred that is not legal.
Spreading lies should not be seen as support of lies.
BTW the Muslims do care about all five wars. The general sentiment is to blame you.
Yep every time you blame Israel for this that and the other that never happened many Muslims were still blaming you. For Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen and more…
Interesting that religious leaders seem to feel jihad is far more important than the welfare of its people. People are merely cannon fodder to be fed to the cause. Easily replaced.
Seriously?
You’re surprised that a CULT LEADER thinks his followers should choose everlasting life ever after… Over any earthly ephemera?
That’s the very definition of “Faith”.
ralph thinks his comment is non-denominational.
Internal personal jihad is healthy.
Using religion to establish a dictatorship is crap.
