Capital U Student Gov’t Passes Unanimous Resolution in Support of Jewish People, Israel, Following Series of Antisemitic Incidents on Campus

The student government at Ohio’s Capital University on Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution in support of the Jewish people and the state of Israel, The Algemeiner has learned.

Austin Reid, President of Capital University’s chapter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI), told The Algemeiner about “some of the more serious” incidents in the past two years that led to the resolution. For example, he said, a student’s Israeli flag was repeatedly stolen from outside his home; another student with an Israeli flag in the window received shouts of “Heil Hitler” from passersby outside; and posters for the Jewish Association were defaced with missionary slogans, such as “Isaiah 53? and “Jesus is the only way.”

In addition, he recounted, some students have found pennies left outside their door — symbolizing the “penny-pinching” stereotype of Jews — and other statements to the effect that all Jews are rich or that Jews control banking, can be heard on campus.

1. Even here on DU some people who are not Jewish try dictate to Jewish people what is and what is not

Antisemitic.

The membership of Capital University’s Student Government will recognize the right of the established Jewish community at Capital University to define, within the guidelines of the national definition, what is and is not antisemitic, just as other communities are granted [the corresponding] right.

The membership … recognizes that the Jewish people, like all peoples, have a collective right to self-determination, and considers attempts to undermine these rights to be a form of bigotry.
