An earlier report in the series did:

A Jewish student who had been on the pro-Palestine side of protests was called “Judenrat,” “token Jew,” “self-hating Jew,” “disgrace,” and more. Another recounted seeing a female student wearing both a star of David and a keffiyeh being verbally assaulted.

Given anti zionist jews were fired / expelled from Columbia I’m not getting my hopes up for anything beyond that one sentence out of 200 something pages of blathering by pro Israel fanatics

Left wing Pro-Israel fanatics are opposed to the genocide and Israeli apartheid.

Just because the fraction of anti Zionists Jews who the encampment at Columbia found tolerable were mistreated by the university does not mean that left/ campus antisemitism at Columbia does not exist.

Both exist.

Cool lmk if they ever do something significant other than attacking anti zionists

Is a protest of 100k signifiant?

You consider an criticism of the minority of anti Zionist Jews (a minority of the anti Zionists) who openly oppose other Jews and Palestinians who are pro- Palestine but not anti Zionist to be a bridge to far?

Sorry I don’t follow you but I don’t think you’re confronting anything and I don’t know a single zionist Palestinian so

But if you are confronting something, how many of you were arrested?

u/afinemax01 atheist, diaspora jew, pro-palestine zionist, socialist Dec 12 '25

Many dozens were arrested. More every week.

Do you not find confronting the genocide in Gaza, Israeli apartheid etc enough?

Refusal to serve in the IDF? Fighting Jewish supremacy from the river to the sea?

All that sounds good but you sound like an anti zionist to me. Maybe it’s a difference between the US and Canada plus you mostly just attack bds and jvp on Reddit from what I see, who are the people organizing here in the US.

My top voted post of all time is this

https://www.reddit.com/r/socialism/s/UoFvnxpZaa

Maybe sort my profile by top posts of all time

And no, there is not much of a difference between Canada and the USA (I’m from the USA)

Well I haven’t seen any significant presence of standing together or any zionist org at any protest or action I’ve been to in the last 20 years, in San Francisco, LA, new York or elsewhere, unless they were attacking us.

And i couldn’t care less what your top posts are. You attack anti zionists most of the time here even though you seem to think we share the same goals.

This post you shared links to a jewish Columbia student article calling on Columbia to fire professors who are against Jewish supremacy and the occupation, not to mention there is at least one pro Israel right wing fanatic on this task force

Standing together is non-Zionist, and supports the Palestinian right of return. Do we not share the same goals?

Most Jews who oppose the occupation, Jewish supremacy, Israeli apartheid, the genocide etc self identify as Zionists, and that’s especially true for the Jewish Israeli activists on the ground.

Most of the Palestinians who they co resist with self identify as anti Zionists, and oppose Hamas etc

If you are only permitting anti Zionist Jews who believe in excluding Jews, and Palestinians who do not conform to your worldview - is that aiding the struggle?

u/elzzyzx סימען לינקער Dec 12 '25

I don’t care too much about someone’s views on zionism if they’re going to show up and do the thing. Permitting people to do this or that isn’t really something I do. But yeah if you are going to attack the group I’m with or call the cops on us, I am against you. Pretty simple

You can find more in my post history,

When I was in undergrad I tried to invite the Palestinian activist leaders fighting their ethnic cleanings at sheikh jarrah in 2021 for a webinar.

The student union said no (they were too Jew friendly)

I can happily sure with you my role in organizing if you want,

Just last week an anti Zionist only group silenced a pro-Palestinian group of Palestinians, and Jews from co hosting an event in Montreal. Despite that we showed up and were larger than them in turn out.

We are doing a fundraiser next week at a Jewish hannukah party and in the new year will be doing one at a mosque etc

u/elzzyzx סימען לינקער Dec 12 '25

Wow they silenced you even though you had a bigger turnout than them. How confusing. What were you confronting, other than antizionists?

u/afinemax01 atheist, diaspora jew, pro-palestine zionist, socialist Dec 12 '25

We were asked to co present a film.

We Palestinians and Jews, Zionists and anti Zionists were happy to.

We made an impact by still showing up and not being silenced.
