Jewish professor explains why ‘intifada’ is not anti-Semitic

Bruce Robbins, a Jewish professor at Columbia University, has commented on claims that anti-Semitism has taken over leading universities.

He says slogans such as "intifada" aren't anti-Semitic because they represent the rights of the Palestinians.

Right on, sir. It is not anti-Semitic to express those views. People are simply conditioned to believe otherwise.

Being truthful is the fundamental mile stone of scholarship. Thank u restoring truth.

"I don't remember one occupation in which the occupier presented himself as the victim, “we are the victims, we are forced to kill their children, poor us.” -Israeli journalist Gideon Levy

[kaoutermouslimhaliba]

They want to make it a law that to criticise those things or say those slogans will be included in rhe definition of "anti Semitism". Be careful check those law projects and do something about it.

Israel is a settler colonial apartheid and no apartheid has a right to exist.

God bless you for saying the truth about the situation in Gaza and Palestine

[deselby]

Imagine not being appalled as a Jewish person witnessing the scenes of slaughter and destruction in Gaza.Even without considering the horror of the Holocaust.The truth is more alarming with 85% of Israeli Citizens in support of the destruction and death in Gaza..

Palestine 🇵🇸 has the right to defend itself against all foreign invaders from Europe..

DNA testing is not allowed in Israel mainly because their ancestors are from Europe...

The mental change in the respect and recognition of equality for Palestinians will come from Jews like yourself. Keep expressing your message of peace.
