The ugly head of antisemitism

It's hard to fathom that in 2024, the ugliness of antisemitism has reared it's head once more.. Campus students need to change their perspective. It's not the Jewish peoples fault whom Israel elected.. Netanyahu failed to keep his people safe and now he's killing the Gaze an children at a horrifying rate.. The hostage families didn't ask for this aggressive war, only to have their loved ones returned, to have their families restored.. It's shameful and myopic to attack their Jewish peers, subject them to racial slurs, instilled by threats and fears. Freedom of speech implies a moral responsibility, not to chant "to obliterate Jews from the river to the sea".

powerful poem...freedom doesn't mean hatred nor does it mean one can act without civility. Freedom of any kind implies responsibility. I agree...bunch of entitled brats is what I say. Yes, my Texas blood is boiling mad about it all. Enjoy your evening...off my soap box now :-) hugs, Sara

well said, nancy! i am so glad i'm not a college student at this point in time. it's absolutely horrible what's going on at campuses around the country. i never thought i'd see the day when antisemitism is on display like this - especially in new york city...

Hi Ilene, Always good to hear from you! It is hard to believe that there is so much divisiveness and hatred, even among the youth here, very scary times for sure. Blessings to you!
