[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 77662188, member: 294566"] I certainly support their right to air their hate speech without fear of government reprisal. [URL='https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-02/student-fears-triggered-by-israel-palestinian-tensions-skyrocket']Muslim students are also concerned/targeted.[/URL] A new national study led by the University of Chicago has for the first time documented in detail the extent of those fears and reasons for them — along with student attitudes toward genocide, antisemitism, Islamophobia and possible ways to calm tensions. The study found that 58% of students who identified as Jewish and 52% of those who said they were Muslim have feared for their safety since Oct. 7. An additional 16% of neither background also expressed fears. This represents as many as 3 million students across the country. In one finding, about 10% of college students would permit student groups to call for genocide against Jews ... The same percentage would permit that call against Muslims. The UCLA Muslim student wears sunglasses, a kaffiyeh scarf and face mask to avoid recognition on campus. She’s asked to move her classes online to prevent others from knowing her route and following her. She will speak only on the condition of anonymity to protect herself and her future as an aspiring nurse. But her caution has not helped her feel safe. She is terrified by the hate that has rained down on her and her fellow pro-Palestinian supporters since Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7 and Israel retaliated with a massive and [URL='https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2024-04-30/netanyahu-vows-to-invade-rafah-with-or-without-a-deal-for-a-cease-fire']continuing assault[/URL]on Gaza. She has been spat on and called a terrorist multiple times, she said. Men who have come to the encampment have threatened rape. A woman brandished a stun gun at her on campus, laughing.
