If it were only the colleges….. Sadly, this virus has spread far and wide in society. The only way for this to come back around imo is for the wokies to push this thing beyond the edge to energize a counter movement. Witnessing their M.O. , I have all the faith in the world they will make it happen 😃

Despite all the crazy- I think we should still have faith in our free and democratic societies over the chinas of the world. We will prevail. Cheers!

It is about time that universities are in the headlights, too bad they got wrapped up in the political cross fire that evolved out to their choice made in their respective failed mission to turn universities into profit centers. Failed real estate expansion and R&D focused on licensing tech to target industry giants while diminishing focus on providing the opportunities and challenges in the exploration of core values.

"Jews" have been in the crossfire of identity politics from before middle class organizers in Russia replaced the tzar. It surprises me that the stronger alliance between Jews and Islams have not collaborated when the many opportunities have provided a pathway. The current tragedy is the betrayal of a significant number of the Israeli citizens by their own recent leadership after October 7th. So called war has already been lost. Wake up, a prolonged knee jerk is not sustainable. The territory jointly inhabited by the opposing sides is getting more and more destroyed. Israeli citizens will be paying the brunt of the reconstruction budget. Multi national corporations a lickig their chops at the opportunity to pour concrete. I still maintain one solution is the only solution to the oldest monotheistic "holy land" in the world. If there is an older monotheistic "holy land" then please enlighten me. The collective players in this conflict Christian, Jewish and Islamic are just settlers on their common "holy land." It is no wonder that Russia and People's Republic of China are snickering with glee while the foster their own agendas in the background of chaos.

I applaud Argentina's CEO Javier Milei for thinking out-of-box in presenting "his plans to convert to Judaism" that does not even guarantee his compliance. And if Milei's does embraces Judaism, then that is a preferable event from my distant POV. Perhaps a fresh breeze blowing out the smoke to illuminate the mirrors.

Respectfully submitted for your consideration to break links in the chains that bind us all.

The anti semitic outbursts are not just at universities. And there have also been a lot of attacks on Palestinians and generally people who are Muslim or who people think are Muslim like Sikhs. We are seeing general faults appear in society that we need to dig into and address, and not try to plaster over. A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a person on the beach. They work as a healthcare provider on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. The person said for that the first time in her life in Canada she was afraid that people know they are Jewish and felt at risk of verbal and even physical violence. In Canada a person is afraid that co-workers and people in the community know they are Jewish. The conflation of the situation for Canadian First Nations with the situation in the Middle East does not help anyone understand anything better, and seems to be interfering with sane conversation.
