“We shouldn’t have to gather on a rainy day in Pennsylvania to talk about antisemitism, but we must,” Senator Casey said. “We gather to call out and condemn the evil, the horrific evil of antisemitism.”

    So it should be okay to target Jewish students in Pennsylvania with harassment and call for the genocide of Jews because of what the government of Israel is doing?

    Cool, cool, cool.

        As if this comment being responded to had an actual reply to the article. This article is clearly about Pennsylvania and it’s University politics. Yet the comment is talking about the war and international politics only. OP is giving the commenter more credit than maybe they deserve by pretending they were engaging with the content of the posted article.

          Thank you. The article is about students having a hard time and being targeted with harassment and abuse. The top comment focused on condemning a war happening thousands of miles away.

          That is incredibly insensitive.

          Then someone will respond that the insensitivity is technically not against the rules, since it is technically connected to the topic.

          I just checked the sidebar, top level comments are not required to be directly related to get article text.

          The comment is on topic, and OPs reply is clearly bait to start a fight

      this is so much more complicated than antisemitism in pennsylvania. obviously it’s wrong to target someone for their religion, or nationality, or whatever. this is so skewed awry.

      fuckin idiots very far away from whatever want to kill each other; billions of dollars at stake. that’s the story.

      don’t let the lunatic nationalists from their various corners distract you.

        Did you read the article. This comment doesn’t even attempt to engage with the content of the article. OP response is pointing that out, the commenter didn’t read the article and is just arbitrarily expressing their POV.

      I think the problem is that Jews are behaving identically to Nazis during the Holocaust, so crying ‘antisemitism’ is hypocritical.

      Just replace the Nazi’s “Jewish Question” with Zionist’s “Palestinian Question.”

      This is what religious nationalism gets you.

        Lumping all Jewish people in with Israel is just perpetuating the cycle of violence on more people who don’t deserve it just like the IDF is brutally punishing all of Palestine for the actions of a small number of them.
