re: #67 Vicious Babushka

What is it with these Ivy League institutions and so much antisemitism?

[Embedded content]

The anti-semitism is fueled by Arabs and Palestinians (both foreign and American) on campus, and these institutions are large and prestigious enough to attract large cohorts of foreign students.

They’re also large enough to have departments like gender studies, conflict studies, ethnic studies, etc. (which are worthy of study, though not as they do it). Since these areas don’t really have facts and evidence to keep them in check, advancement rests with their peers, and dogmatic, jargon-laced garbage is the result. And there’s no nuance in what they preach — you have to be either an oppressor or a victim. So they fall right into the Palestinian/victim trap.

In local news, the Palestinian brigade continues to blockade the main entrance to the Cal campus. They seem to have been induced to leave enough space for noncombatants to get onto campus, there are no more of them than before, and people just squeeze through their ranks without engaging.
