    Tell you what. My daughter attended and just graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She got a stellar education and she and the 1,200 other students on campus participated in Chabad and Hillel, were left alone and did not experience a single pro-Palestine, pro-terrorist, anti Israel protest. Send your kids to colleges like that.

    Note that Joe Gindi identified himself as a Syrian Jew. As someone who grew up in Brooklyn aswell, I knew lots of Syrian Jews. You know how many Jews remain in Syria today? Zero. I knew Yemeni Jews. You know how many Jews are in Yemen today? Zero. A good friend is the son of Egyptian Jews. In 1950, there were 150,000 Jews in Egypt. Number of Jews in Egypt today? Less than 10, not 10,000. TEN. As the response to October 7 confirms, the world not only ignored the ethnic cleansing of Jew, but it encourages it while falsely accusing us of the same.

    Yet another person misquoting Gen.12:3. The blessing was to Abraham alone, not to any group of people (Abraham was not a Jew and the Jews didn't exist yet). In Gal. 3:16 and 3:29, we find out that the seed of Abraham is Jesus Christ, and that Christians are the heirs to the promises that God made to Abraham. You'd think Christians would understand this, but so many of them don't.

    Ranking Member Scott is being disingenuous. This is a hearing about anti-Semitism, not about islamophobia, white supremacy, or any other form of discrimination. Notice that he alone didn't ask any of the students a question, probably because he doesn't want to give them any more power than they are already getting. I'm a Democrat, but I am ashamed of this Democrat.

    If you paid attention to the testimony, you would know that Jewish students were being harassed for being Jewish. That is anti-Semitism. And the predicate of your argument is simply false. Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. Prior to 1948 one could be an anti-Zionist without being an anti-semite. Once the state of Israel existed, to be an anti-Zionist is to call for the destruction of Israel. This means calling for the mass murderer, dislocation, and dispossession of Jews for more homeland. Given that almost half of all Jews live in Israel, anti-Zionism is genocidal antisemitism.

    The stories heard here are really atrocious. No one should ever feel harrassed like that for something they were born into. I hope these young jewish people in the US can dialogue with their pro palestine peers because sadly as of today, palestinians are being exterminated by the IDF in Gaza. That is a fact. War crimes are a daily thing in Gaza and what we need is peace and of course a ceasefire. That's not a religious tribal thing, it's a universalist obvious thing that every human should feel when seeing the stories coming from Gaza. Israel can perfectly defend itself from within it's borders. They don't need to destroy the whole livelihood of a whole people. Collective punishment is a war crime and it needs to stop. That is how we are going to defeat antisemitism. By acknowledging and fighting against the injustices towards palestinians and stop the daily massacres in Gaza.

    So, you hear Hamas give casualty stats, and you assume things. Please reevaluate your assumptions. ****We don’t know the true number of Gazan civilian casualties or the causation. Why? 1. Hamas has a track record and culture of dishonesty: Taqiyyah/ Hadith. Hamas will do anything to make Israel look bad on the world stage. 2. Hamas exaggerates its numbers & fakes “evidence.” It always has. 3. It takes a long time to count casualties. Hamas can’t magically count casualties faster than any other belligerent in recorded history. Example: Authorities are still trying to determine the number of casualties during the Battle of Mosul. 4. Hamas statistics don’t distinguish between combatant casualties and civilian casualties. Hamas refers to well-trained gun-wielding teens as children. 5. We don’t know the extent to which Hamas’ well-documented human shield tactics are responsible for escalating any civilian casualties. We do know Israel has a demonstrated track record of going out of its way to minimize civilian casualties. And, we know Hamas interferes with Israel’s attempts to warn Gazans. 6. Since October 7th, IDF has hit over 22k military targets in a densely-packed environment, and the Geneva Convention recognizes a certain amount of collateral casualties are unavoidable. No one is happy about civilian casualties, but it will happen. There is no reliable evidence the civilian casualties are disproportionate. There is no reliable evidence IDF is intentionally or recklessly causing civilian casualties. To the contrary, subject matter experts have noted that Israel is doing an excellent job in an unprecedented asymmetrical warfare situation. Example: John Spencer, West Point, leading expert on urban warfare. 7. About 10-20% percent of Hamas & PIJ rockets fail and kill Gaza civilians. (I have authoritative URLs for all these statements, but KZread won’t let me use them.) ALSO … “war crimes” is a spiffy term, but crimes have statutory elements that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I challenge you to identify a specific crime and set forth the evidence (percipient witnesses, expert witnesses, documents, things) that would prove up each element. I’m a career litigator/ prosecutor. I would hate to be assigned such a case because I really hate to lose.

    No not a fact. I'm sorry, you've insanely misinformed. The majority of the west is, it's beyond upsetting n crazy making; this extremely successfully purposefully created n vastly disseminated narrative and perception of this evil, hateful, murderous IDF/Israel that's in Gaza pretty much just there to exterminate n massacre as many innocent civilians as possible (for revenge I guess is what ur saying?). I just don't understand how that just makes so much sense to people, that it's not even something to possibly question. Israelis r so bewildered as to how most the world believes this is the truth about them, what they r, what's happening or that they wouldn't b believed or would b automatically assumed to be lying. Also, they should pack up n abandon their hostages being starved, raped, tortured or dying from wounds (w no medical care or medicine) every passing minute they stay captive in Gaza. That's the obvious human thing to do? If they have a ceasefire before getting the rest of the hostages, u know that the chances of getting any of them back go down to zero. Or r they not worth enough, it's better to forget them n leave them to whatever horrible fates? N that's only just one of the many reasons a ceasefire can't happen yet. Anyway, that is why what ur saying is not the solution/won't solve or defeat anti-Semitism. That's very important to know to be able to understand this. If it were really just so easy n simple, why on god's green earth would Israel not immediately declare a ceasefire n go home immediately n end anti-Semitism for all the Jewish people in the whole world. By the way, both sides have to agree to stop firing to have a ceasefire, it doesn't work if only one side does, Israel isn't solely responsible or capable of making that happen, Hamas refuses to any real ceasefire too (except if it could n 1 that could give them time n ability to regroup, reorganize n resupply for renewed attack n fighting). No one seems to understand that or refuses to acknowledge that n puts the entirety of the onus purely on Israel n the only reason there isn't 1 is purely bc Israel doesn't want 1 n there r no other parties or factors involved in making a ceasefire happen or even possible. How can there be a cordial, productive dialogue (which is very much needed) w the fervently pro- Palestinian peers in light of all these problems that r outright rejected n dismissed to having any significance or value? Open, friendly, kind-natured dialogue n discourse needs to be had, especially the more when a hatred of a group is escalating so badly that it's going beyond harassment n terrorizing and reaching the beginnings of the next stage of physical attack so that it can hopefully be prevented from becoming premeditated targeted physical assaults. Man, this whole everything is so horrible n upsetting it's starting to turn my hair white.
