from Sara Wexler, a jewish doctoral student at Columbia:
"We are told that we need a state that is based on ethnicity in the 21st century and that’s the only way Jewish people can be safe. But it is really for Britain and America and other imperialist states to have a presence in the Middle East. I’ve no idea why people still believe this…

It makes no sense to have a place for Jewish people that requires other people to suffer and die.”
I'd say she has a point. war sucks. but it's still a point unsullied by any deep knowledge of this immensely complicated historical issue.
it is the current horrifying Israeli leadership that seems to require "other people to suffer and die." there is nothing about the existence of Israel AS SUCH that demands anybody be killed.
and let's remember that the day of the Hamas atrocities, while rape and murder was still going on, a few statements from groups in some of the most "elite" universities in the country were already saying that those atrocities were entirely Israel's fault.
at very least, a really bad look. fuck them where they breathe.
