(28,537 posts)I have plenty of outrage at antisemites yelling for Jews to go back to Poland. I also have outrage at the continued conflation of those agitators outside the university with the students who have been mostly peacefully protesting. It's important to differentiate these two groups because one assumes guilt for all protesters and the other allows that Columbia can't control what happens off-campus, even if "off-campus" is on an adjacent sidewalk. That's just the other side of the bigotry coin from the Nazi playbook. No shades of grey, blind adherance to some reports (from outside the campus community, aka, news organizations), ignoring what most people on the ground are saying. You don't want all Jews lumped together as the Nazi's did, but you do want all Jews and their allies to lump all Palestinians and Palistinian supporters as terrorists. How is that a liberal position?
