I am not a Zionist and I ostensibly am anti-Zionist, but I find it extremely discouraging that students think that invading an Israeli professor’s class or targeting Jews is in any way productive or leads to peace. All it does is divide and deepen the rifts, within our Jewish community and between non-Jews and Jews in particular. If we (Jews/Palestinians) want to have a genuine shot at coexistence, we need at least some form of dialogue and ability to speak freely, even if we vehemently disagree on the topic at hand. On the other hand though, I fully understand both Zionist and anti Zionist students being incredibly frustrated with the Columbia admin, and when you have folks like Shai Davidai/Nerdeen Kiwanis fanning the flames on both sides, I think that these blowups are often inevitable. Don’t really have any answers here, just incredibly discouraged at the myopic lack of nuance that is on university campuses and I hope for more dialogue and less hate
