The texts, which faculty members said appeared to have gone to nearly all Barnard staff members, appear to be part of an aggressive new tactic by the Trump administration to collect reports of alleged antisemitism at Barnard, a women’s college affiliated with Columbia University that has come under heavy criticism for pro-Palestinian demonstrations on its campus.

      NYP is a right wing propoganda outlet. They lied about all kinds of shit to get Donny Dipshit elected. Find a better source. That’s a Murdoch (owner of fox) rag

        AP is neutral enough for you?

        In its report, the task force cited incidents where Jewish students had been threatened or shoved, or subjected to blatantly antisemitic symbols like swastikas.

        But it also described a broader pattern of Jewish students feeling ostracized from classmates who had once been friends.

          This is all very vague, and given that I’ve seen video of people carrying Israeli flags and harassing the anti genocide protests, those same people then turning around and claiming antisemitism against themselves can account for some of those reports.

          I’m sure it’s happened. But this doesn’t even draw a link to those protests. We know the right wing is very anti Jewish given how often they march with those swastikas mentioned in the article.

            I’m sure it’s happened.

            And all I am saying is, if we can make it stop, I’ll call that a win, no matter who is the one who stops it.

            Stopping these types of evils doesn’t mean we approve evil elsewhere. I am not sure why you don’t understand this.

          Oh, so that means it’s okay to lie and claim that anybody protesting has the same motivation?
