Mosaic magazine<\/a>: “College students have risen up to fight racism on campuses across the country. But it is often those very same students who subject Jewish students to anti-Semitism.”<\/p>\n

That’s not a useful analysis. Who-whom is more accurate. Who is ruling over whom? People of color are not particularly fond of Jews running the show. <\/p>\n

Buzzwords like “racism” and “anti-Semitism” are simply junk terms for conflicts of interest. “Hate speech” is speech that a group with power does not like.<\/p>\n

Mosaic<\/a>: “It was this disquieting, yet growing, trend of hate speech and crimes directed towards Jewish students within the UC system that spurred Mokhtarzadeh and Rosenberg, both Jewish sophomores at UCLA, to attend the conference. Their freshman year was punctuated by incidents of anti-Semitism that were both personal and met with national controversy. They were shocked during their first quarter in school, when students entered the Bruin Cafe to see the phrase \u201cHitler did nothing wrong\u201d etched into a table. Months later, Mokhtarzadeh\u2019s friend, Rachel Beyda, was temporarily denied a student government leadership position based solely on her Jewish identity, an event that made news nationwide. Throughout the year, they saw the school\u2019s pro-Palestinian group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), issue criticism of Israel that overstepped into anti-Semitic rhetoric and hate. The campus was supposed to be their new home, their new safe space\u2014so why didn\u2019t they feel that way?”<\/p>\n
