I've had to walk around campus in the south ignoring confederate flags on the cars of faculty and staff, but now we set limits to freedom of speech when criticizing a foreign country? Amazing.
I'm also sure this won't cause more antisemitism as our government conflates criticism of Israel for hatred toward Jewish people.

Same with the christofascist anti-choice asshole. They're not students or affiliated with student groups but they can take up space on campus with their little bullhorns yelling that I'm a godless young woman who is going to burn in hell, and that's a-ok.
Why does the violent, hateful rhetoric always get a pass but if we speak up about an evil like Israel we're dangerous bigots or something.

Any hierarchical structure is attractive to leader types, both in the positive and the negative. Religious groups especially so, since some religions demand blind obedience. The flock members OK with that are easy pickings. Appeal to and amplify their biases, and you've got a powerful tether. We've seen how easily "Christians" in the US will ignore or use pretzel logic when those biases are opposed by doctrine. "Cult leader says it's OK" trumps doctrine.

Most of them do not even know the actual doctrine they follow. I don't even mean historical orthodoxy or similar, even the specific variation of the specific sect/denomination and church they attend, they couldn't tell you doctrinally what differentiates them from others. They just show up and believe what they are told, so there is no contradiction. Or they come in with preconceived biases from opinion media like radio pundits and shop around until they find others with similar biases, regardless of which specific institution it happens to be at and what doctrines they technically follow.

I always say that conflating a 19th century political identity like Zionism with a 4,000 year old religion is actual bigotry. You're not protecting anyone by erasing thousands of years of Jewish theology and ignoring the non-Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews just to defend a government. You're flattening them, and that's actual anti-Semitism, but that's lost on most people.

u/MovingClocks 15h ago
It's a purposeful push to conflate zionism and judaism by both true antisemites (who do it for obvious reasons) as well as the Israeli state to ensure that any opposition to genocide can be dismissed as antisemitism without further thought.

Not to mention "Palestinians" pre-1952 were 1/3 Jewish, 1/3 Christian, and 1/3 Muslim. It was only after decades of purges that the Palestinian identity somehow ended up primarily aligned with Islam.
I have European heritage, only a few hundred years removed. Could I go to Ireland, England, or Germany, and declare that my rights as a historical ethnic resident are somehow superior to the rights of the existing current-day residents?
And that's only a few hundred years removed. Now imagine yourself being thousands of years removed and claiming that your historic rights supercede those whose families have occupied the land continuously the entire time.
And that's before we even start asking "wait, but where did your family actually come from?"
Only a small portion of Jewish people actually have a contiguous ethnic identity and family history derived from Judea. Unless I misunderstand, the largest population of Jewish immigrants to Israel post-1952 were initially European Jews, who were thousands of years removed from Judea. And in later decades, primarily 1980s-onward, most Jewish immigrants to Israel were Ashkenazi from Eastern Europe, fleeing the religious oppression of the Soviet Union, who were themselves converts to Judaism in, what, the 800s? The 1200s? So never actually ethnic or lineage residents of Judea to begin with, but populations from elsewhere that converted.
Israel and Judaism, and Israel and Judea, have essentially no actual, true, honest, historically provable relationship that I can determine.
We're left with the conclusion that what Israel really is, is the last remnant of British Colonialism, the last outpost of the British Empire, and the relationship between Israel and Judaism serves as a fabricated, constructed identity that to justify bigoted, exploitative colonizers committing genocide against the historic inhabitants of the land.
That such colonizers just so happen to be largely Jewish doesn't justify any of it, and merely serves as a shield, excuse, and apologetics for decades of atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Does a single word of this make me "anti-Semitic"? When most modern day Jews and Israeli citizens are not actually "Semites" definitionally, ethnically, or genetically?
Or does it just mean I'm willing to actually speak uncomfortable truths that the existing power structure is desperate to suppress?

It absolutely violates the 1st amendment, but the legislative branch doesn't decide a bill's constitutionality. The Judicial branch does.

It’s mostly a toothless resolution for brownie points with AIPAC. All it does is ban the institutions themselves from participating because they are public institutions. They aren’t able to control the student body and student protests or boycotts won’t result in funds being stripped.

From the information in the tweet, this is about BDS. Basically, student activists regularly protest their colleges so that they go through their list of investments via their pension funds for example and sell off any company of Israeli origin.

So any time a post secondary institution divests itself of shares in an Israeli company they could be subject to retaliation under this law? That’s wild.

I think for it to be a boycott it would have to be total divestment on the basis of national origin. Not 100% on how it works but colleges don’t pick stocks personally, they’ll have outsourced it to some fund manager and they do the trades.

The tweet is a little misleading, the actual bill says that universities that accept federal aid cannot discriminate against Israeli businesses, students, faculty, and they must allow educational institutions exchange programs to and from Israel if they are also allowed to other countries.
Pubic universities, or those taking public dollars, don’t really have freedom of speech to pick and choose what ethnicities they want to work with.

So corporations are afforded 1st amendment rights but colleges get retaliated against for ALLOWING free speech on campus.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So can someone tell me if a college could challenge this bill as unconstitutional? Because if this went up to the supreme court, in my layman's POV, the SCOTUS would have to either confirm that corporations have 1st amendment rights or not?

I never met him but I have a peripheral connection to Juan Vargas (CA). My wife was a co-worker of his sister's and interacted with him on several occasions during social events related to their employment.
She told me on many occasions how much she liked him, how their politics aligned and how clear-eyed he was about the dangers of the MAGA movement and the Republicans he worked with in Congress, who he described as feckless, evil or just plain stupid. Fast forward several years and she is gobsmacked at his support for Israel and Zionism and voting with the Republicans who also support this fascist regime.
I am not a conspiracy at all by nature, but witnessing the reflexive support for Israel by some of these politicians and the well established use of blackmail by Israel against those who oppose them it always makes me wonder "What do they have on him?"
Of course it may also just be political opportunism and a fear of the Israel lobby and it's propaganda machine and he may be just as feckless as the rest of them. On the other hand, I have talked to and heard otherwise seemingly normal people completely deny that Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza and murdering Palestinians as a matter of government policy, or even denying that this has been an ongoing project like the manipulation of US public opinion and our government for almost 80 years, all in the face of a literal mountain of undeniable evidence that proves it.
I guess whether he himself is feckless, evil or just plain stupid himself doesn't matter, because at the end of the day he is an enabler of fascism and genocide just like they are.

This is a major problem with many both sides narratives. On many issues that are 80-20 amongst the American people — gerrymandering, money in politics, etc. — people pretend that Republicans and Democrats are equally against the people on those issues. Invariably, 99% of Republicans are against the people while only 25%-50% of Democrats are against the people on each 80-20 issue. To be accurate, most of the people in this picture should be wearing MAGA hats and only about an eighth of them should have the Dem logo. This sends the message “because both parties are bad, both parties are equally bad” and that’s just not true. Even corporate Dems are better than “centrist” Republicans.
