These presidents are cowards…

[@1czechit1]

worse. they are playing along with the terrorists.

[@weaintdointhis]

Yeah, like president Biden afraid to stand up to Israel.

[@beehive5835]

If LGABCD+2 students or black students were blocked from entering the university, there would be IMMEDIATE action taken by the university administration!

[@michaelehrenberg8583]

Not to mention that BLM has added to if not provoked this Jew hatred. That is part of what they did during the sham of this organization after it came to popularity in 2020.

The protesters on campuses should absolutely not be allowed to be masked.

[@Mark-l6s3g]

Indeed! In my book, despicable cowards! I noticed the Jewish guy had the guts to go unmasked. Are there any other groups who are allowed to disguise themselves like this? If so, what, where?

[@derrickberken6615]

Have we learned nothing from history? And my god these are educators too!

[@tommypauly3249]

You have seen what happens to people that don't read history. People who don't read history are doomed to repeat it! 🤔👀

[@guyben1657]

What a disgrace America had become. Like a third world country.

[@andregucailo1138]

Socialism push. Thanks Obama for that.

[@BlessedChild7]

This nonsense would not happen in third world countries. Camping outside a university campus calling for death to Israel in a place like Nigeria can result in the expulsion of ALL of those students, it may even lead to them getting killed with no one held responsible. Endsars 2020 is a clear example, and those protesters were asking for their basic human rights to be respected. America needs to stop this nonsense before it's too late

[@5dancingnoses106]

I feel so sorry for these Jewish American students who just want to go to class and are being harassed, intimidated, doxxed and threatened on their Own Campuses....this is disgusting and ludicrous. Don't just discuss it Congress...Do Something!!

[@miguelishii8509]

[@PatriciaColosimo]

I can’t believe that these students are agitators are not getting reprimanded or suspended or terminated. It’s insane.

[@l-uk3xm]

Some are. Some schools take action. I've read some are expelling those.

[@summerrecall]

Mr. Schill's occasional smirk would indicate that he believes he has offered acceptable responses to Rep. Kiley, when, in fact, he has done just the opposite. If only just one of these president had the capacity to feel shame.

[@l-uk3xm]

Right, you'd think after the Harvard prez was forced to resign, they would've learned, huh?

[@ef9174]

The lack of action from these university presidents is SICK and a HUGE wake up call for Americans

What bull shut. Will a soul ever wake up?

[@paulamatlen5504]

What happened across the universities lays in the hands of the weak response by the presidents of these universities In addition they capitulated to to the demands of protesters who were illegally encamped on university grounds They are willing to divest Israel but quickly accept multi millions from Qatar and other counties with terrorists ties No president seemed to know any disciplinary actions taken and gave weak response “we are investigating and we will see what action might be appropriate” SHAME SHAME SHAME Lets withhold federal funds from these universities until they can prove Jewish students matter and antisemitism has no place on their campus

Joe Biden said he condemn Biblical Hebrew word "Intifada". Hebrew has lots of Arabic words. So Biden is saying that he condemn a Biblical word.

[@darita654]

The word "Sieg" meinst victory in German. Just a normal word. However, if you start shauting "Sieg h..l", you should bear consiquences for that. Intifada in the historic context means a wave of violence. Using it in such context should also be considered an offence. And you freaking understand it.

Where did you take this from? Intifada does not appear in the bible and is not a Hebrew word.

[@grigoriyk5369]

Antisemitism is racism. And it's not Judaism, but Jewishness. Being Jewish isn't a religious affiliation only.

[@ududy22]

​@@alviverdeus There are no "races" in scientific, biological terms. It is a very loosely defined term. Jews are an ethnic and cultural group and hate or discrimination towards someone just because he is Jewish is classic racism. No play on words will change that.
