Jews will not be protected in New York. Not in Manhattan the place Jews are being overwhelmed within the streets, and never at Syracuse College.
Our biggest nightmares as Jews are coming true. It’s occurring once more.
On Saturday, on Holocaust Eve, a Jewish Syracuse pupil was overwhelmed by a trespasser yelling “Heil Hitler” and no arrests had been made. The day earlier than, professors on the on-campus encampment distributed flyers saying, “Flood the Gates Escalate” and “We won’t disavow any actions taken to escalate the wrestle, together with militant direct actions. We maintain us (sic) protected by escalating.”
The Syracuse College Jewish group has pleaded for a gathering with Chancellor Kent Syverud and the Chief of Police since October seventh and we now have acquired no reply. Nothing. He hasn’t responded to hundreds of letters, calls or emails. Nothing. To not Rabbis, elected officers, college students or anybody.
Because the ADL famous when providing a grade C to Syracuse University, “a gaggle of Syracuse college students and fogeys submitted a report back to the U.S. Home of Representatives alleging the College is popping “a blind eye to antisemitism.” Since that report in April, it has solely gotten extra harmful and unsafe.
College students are being threatened by individuals who stroll the encampment fearlessly – not college students, not professors – and they’re permitted free passage. Professors, college students and out of doors agitators are on the encampment with indicators studying “Free Palestine”, and “From the River to The Sea”, and it’s reprehensible.
On Sunday, along with different dad and mom and college students – because the chief of the Syracuse Jewish Dad and mom Council – which represents greater than 450 Zionist households concerned with Syracuse College we demanded a gathering with the Chancellor. Sunday, I used to be arrested for non-violent civil disobedience for refusing to go away the encampment. Because the grandson of Holocaust survivors at my childs college I used to be proud to lift a voice of ethical consciousness and stand in opposition to hatred.
There was no bodily contact of any type, and I – who employs numerous Syracuse U. grads, and has lectured to the distinguished Newhouse faculty at Syracuse U this yr – was faraway from the College when Professional-Hamas, anti-American trespassers stay in unlawful tents on a campus the place Jews are unsafe and one pays $80K for tuition.
I requested the place I, an American-Israeli Jew ought to go once they “Free Palestine”, as Jews are murdered and killed in Palestine. These are indicators calling for violence in opposition to our folks.
Its unlucky Syracuse College has chosen to appease Anti-Semitic, Anti-American terror supporters. At Syracuse in 2024, Jewish Zionists are unsafe.
Disgrace on Syracuse College.
Am Israel Chai.
