So...I am confused. We are constantly told that criticism of the Israeli government is NOT antisemitism...yet...if that is true...why are these protesters attacking synagogues in Los Angeles...half a world away from Israel and NOT part of its government or military? The protesters have indicated the truth that their actions are NOT motivated by and as criticism of the Israeli government, but are blatant antisemitism. Any organization, any student, and USC faculty and staff members participating or supporting such events must be held accountable. What does that mean? Publish the list of students, faculty and staff involved in these organizations and protests. Demand the USC administration suspend/fire employees so involved and expel all students so involved. Until such time as that occurs, REFUSE to allow such individuals to work on university committees, refuse to comply with any directive offered by such employees and deny any such student access to the classroom including on-line course support materials. That action will force USC to address its obligations in this matter even if it means expelling 1000's of full tuition paying Muslim students,
I just read that the mob was incited by false reports that the synagogue was hosting a real estate fair involving Palestinian land. By activist reporter Taylor Lorenz at the Washington Post.
