Columbia University to fork over $220 million to resolve antisemitic discrimination claims

[Belk]

Mt eyes and ears did not have filters. Nor did they lie to me.

Yes, you do have filters. Those who think they do not have no way to counter how our biases inform us.

Look at the post I responded to when I mentioned how the left does elections. All you seem to see was mine, and filtered out the post to which I responded. Just like you don't see the counter to your own bias. Amazing! Rave on.

There is so much nonsense rhetoric about columbia and the protests there and most of it is over a year old, so if people have specific claims it is best that they are made.

Anti-israel is not the same thing as anti-semetic.

‘In a report released Friday, the task force, made up of Columbia faculty, accused the university of allowing “pervasive” antisemitism to fester on campus following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. The report recommended that the university revamp its disciplinary process and require additional sensitivity training for students and staff.”

Columbia University, epicenter of protests against Israel, braces as students return to campus

As students returned to class Tuesday, administrators say they're seeking to deescalate tensions, while circulating new guidance on protests. But student organizers say they won't be deterred by the new rules and will continue their activism until their demands are met.

Apparently they were offended by being called lovers of Jews. OK.

OK.

OK.

Yes, they have to become sensitive the the fact that the administration will not tolerate any criticism of Israeli policy.

Israel policy? The portion from the article that I posted talked about anti-semitism. Are you honestly saying that there was NO antisemitism from those protesting?

The article you posted mentioned anti-Israel, not antisemitism. Of course there was some antisemitism, there is anti-semitism everywhere, even amongst those who were being protested against. But the Israeli/Hamas conflict is fundamentally a territorial dispute, not a religious war.

It was all antisemitism. Palestinians want Israel wiped off the map.

They are seeking to destroy a secular state. How is that antisemitism?

 

[ralliann]

Because it is a Jewish state...That is why they want it destroyed.

 

[BCP1928]

Because it is a Jewish state...That is why they want it destroyed.

Why do you think it is important to make that point? Because not all Jews and Palestinians (not to mention Christians) agree with you?

 

[ralliann]

Because it is the point. It has always been the point.

 

[Landon Caeli]

The following Islamic text is a display of the attitude problem that many Palestinians must endure to be a good follower of the religion they hold.

Do not greet the Jews and the Christians before they greet you and when you meet any one of them on the roads force him to go to the narrowest part of it.
(Sahih Muslim 39:16, see also Sunan Abu Dawud 41:5186)[5]

To assume this attitude stops at the bullying of Jews on roads, would be naive. It's goes much further than that, all the way to the elimination of the Jews altogether.

 

[BCP1928]

Because it is the point. It has always been the point.

For who?

 

[ralliann]

For who?

The Arabs. Now it is just the Arabs of Palestine.

 

[Tinker Grey]

The Arabs. Now it is just the Arabs of Palestine.

You do know that Arabs are semitic, right?

Isn't it interesting that instead of acknowledging the possibility you have filters you instead attack me to try to make me just as wrong. My ability or lack of to see my own bias does not change your own claims. Making me wrong does not somehow make you right.

The Arabs are indeed Semitic. However the term antisemitic primarily refers to anti Jew.

Yes. Why peace talks concerning their common ancestor Abraham. So what? Palestinian Arabs are not Philistines either, yet they take the name.

Yes, scripturally "the Circumcision". Those whom through Isaac keep the covenant of Circumcision.
Ge 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
Ge 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

We are even given their land mass of this blessing.....

Ge 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Ge 25:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
