Jewish student pleads for public support | On Balance
Shabbos Kestenbaum, a student at Harvard, says leaders of the university are unable or unwilling to change, so the only way for Jewish students to get justice and fight antisemitism is to ask for outside pressure. He says Harvard leaders have refused to meet with Jewish students and have no plan to fight antisemitism on campus.

They make money and are hated, they were obedient and hated, they were stateless and were hated, they stand up and are hated, they defend their rights and are hated, they exist and they are hated. They were blamed for diseases. They were blamed for whatever they could be blamed for. The reason the people against them are in this position is their hate for them. Of course there are innocent ones. But guess what? They are oppressed by their own people. Their own people caused this. They have been causing this. These protestors are further harming them. They aren't demanding what could set them free. Their messages stem from the enemy, not the innocent. People justify the enemy as if they are the innocent. They say it is Israel's fault for this.

To not be stateless, to have rights, to feel safe, to thrive as a community and embrace their religion and/or culture without threats and hate. Yet, it continued. They can't even have just one tiny piece of earth. It will never be ok to their enemy. They won't stop. And everyone else will be next if we don't stand up. We have seen what they publicly declare.

Breach of contract? When the University cashes a tuition check that is a contract. The students go to class and follow the rules, the University protects the students and providing the education. The University isn't upholding their end of the deal. Columbia U. got a D grade from the Campus Antisemitism Report Card, they were in litigation and under investigation over this before the current problems, and the president who said she'd fix the problem is nowhere to be seen. If the campus is private property call in the police to clear out the protestors. Anyone arrested who is here as a guest in this country, on a Visa. revoke the Visa, and deport them. Any student breaking the law, behaving violently, expel, not suspend, them. Don't allow masks on campus, and all camera footage taken on campus should be made public record so businesses know who not to hire. Donors should stop giving money(don't worry, the University can get more from Qatar). And Jewish parents stop sending your kids to Ivy League schools that get lower than a C on the antisemitic report card. There are fixes, you just have to implement them. Same goes for Harvard.......

War crimes, which has occurred on both ends, don't equate to genocide. What are their 'leaders' doing to protect them? Nothing. They want this victim status, so everyone can carry the message to turn on the one nation over there where people thrive and have rights. They are proud of the protestors.

Criticism of Israel, Criticism of Zionism is not antisemitism. Palestine solidarity is not antisemitism. Israel could benefit from realizing they are doing to Palestinians what the holocaust did to them. Israel requires a "final solution" for Palestinians as the people they pretend never existed do exist. Creating a colonial settler state in the Middle East was at least as stupid as the movement to send blacks back to Africa, but here we are. What happened to the Jewish people of Europe was absolutely horrific. However, those people had not lived in the Middle East for a couple thousand years. If a Jewish state was to happen it would have made more sense to carve it out in Europe as that's where most of the settlers were from, not displacing the people of Palestine from their homes and land. They hadn't been involved in the holocaust. But displacing a bunch of Europeans was too problematic, and nobody else stepped up and volunteered to carve a Jewish settler state out of their country. Zionists had a lot less obstruction to colonizing Palestine as those people were(are) seen as less human than Europeans and with less human rights. There is no justification for what Israel has and is doing to the people they pretend never existed (a land without a people). Once you see it, you can't unsee. Israel is engaging in ethnic cleansing and genocide as colonial settlers have always done. Colonized people are fighting back as they always do. It's really no surprise that this hasn't worked out well for anyone, is it?

You and Israel have my support ❤🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱🙏🙏🙏
G-d gave a portion of the Holy Land to the children of Ishmael. Based on Zohar Shemot 32A ------ [R. Hiyya then says] Woe is to the time that Ishmael was born into the world and was circumcised. What did G‑d do [to appease Ishmael]? He distanced the children of Ishmael from supernal cleaving and gave them [only] a portion below in the Holy Land on account of their circumcision. And in the future, the children of Ishmael are destined to rule over the Holy Land for a long time when it is empty from anything, like their circumcision which is empty and imperfect. And they will prevent the children of Israel from returning to their place until the reward for the merit of the children of Ishmael reaches completion. The children of Ishmael [i.e. the Arab nations] will cause great wars in the world and the children of Edom will gather against them and wage war against them, one on the sea, one on the dry land, and one near Jerusalem. And they [the children of Edom] will rule over them [the children of Ishmael], but the Holy Land will not be given over to the children of Edom. [The children of Edom is the Christian West, for Edom is Rome (see Num. 24:19, Rashi) and Rome signifies Greece-Rome and the Roman Catholic Church, the foundations of Western Civilization] -------------- It had already been prophesied in the Bible that the descendants of Ishmael/Arabs shall administer the Temple Mount/Jerusalem. Isaiah 60:7 "All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory." Kedar is the second son of Ishmael, and founder of the tribe that bore his name (Genesis 25:13). Many Arabs trace their lineage back through Ishmael to Abraham. All the flocks of Kedar - On the word 'Kedar,' see the notes at Isaiah 21:16. The Kedarenians were a wandering tribe that frequently changed their residence, though it is probable they usually dwelt in the south part of Arabia Desert, or the north of Arabia Petraea. They are mentioned as dwelling in beautiful tents Sol 1:5 : 'I am black, but comely as the tents of Kedar,' see Psalm 120:5; compare Isaiah 21:16-17; Isaiah 42:11. The language here also means that that which constituted their principal wealth would come and enrich Jerusalem. The rams of Nebaioth - Nebaioth was also a son of Ishmael Genesis 25:13; 1 Chronicles 1:29, and was the father of the Nabatheans. They were a people of Arabia Petraea, and lived principally by plunder, trade, and the keeping of flocks. The country of Nabathea extended, it is supposed, from the Euphrates to the Red Sea, and embraced Petra, the capital of Arabia Deserts, and also Medaba. It is not possible, however, to fix the exact boundaries of the various tribes of Arabians. The general idea is, that their most valuable possessions would be devoted to God. Dome of the Rock is the Third Temple. There are some interpretations of the Bible that suggest that the construction of the Dome of the Rock is prophesied in the Book of Daniel. Specifically, some people believe that Daniel 12:11 is a prophecy about the building of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." [Daniel 12:11] It is a heresy/unholy to think that Jews shall administer Temple Mount/Jerusalem as it had been clear in the Holy scripture that descendants of Ishmael/Arabs had been ordained by G-d to administer Jerusalem/Temple Mount. -----------
