So people have been excitedly pointing to the pro-Jehuda pro-Oren petition circulating around. The number of petition signers is huge – over 3000. In fact, it’s over the entire student population at Brandeis. What’s going on?
Well, it turns out that Adam Ross’s petition got the attention of one of the largest right-wing blogs in the country, with traffic in the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of hits per day. These are the sorts of people who signed a letter “supporting” Brandeis. Brandeis students: do you feel supported?
Don’t let the criminals at your institution disturb a friend of American from speaking.
in the 30’s the goons(a/k/a brown shirts) were able to shout down opposing views. don’t let it happen here.
Do not tolerate Anticemitism!
guess these days Brandeis (btw, who was the school named for?) is the school of self-hating Sonderkommando helpful idiot jews….like Jackie Saffir.
As the Leftists and jihadists march hand in hand China and Riussia chuckle while they annihilate Muslims at will.
The pro-terrorist crowd becomes more and more dangerous every day.
Radical politics inherently is anti-Semitic—and will require Jewish adherents to be self-hating. This really should not shock anyone in the least.”
Those kids belong in reform school … not the University.
When will you people stop with this Politcally Correct Nazism and remember that this is America.
I am shoocked by the close minded, anti-semitic reaction of the students at Brandeis.
The Arabs lost multiple wars trying to exterminate the Jews. They lost some land, too. Get over it.
THOSE STUPID LIBERALS WERE ALSO THE FIRST TO SAY THAT HITLAER IS A PASSING FQAD ANDMEANS NOTHING .
to protest this statemen’s speech is simply nothing more than good old fashioned anti Semitism.
don’t give in to neo-antisemites!
Please do not allow antisemitism to grow in our institutions of higher education.
Brandeis is a Jewish university, as witnessed by the fact that it does not hold classes on major Jewish holidays. If some students dislike that aspect of the school’s philosophy then let them transfer to another school, preferably in an Arab country.
america is surely on the decline and we can look forward to jidhadists and leftists and rightist all vying for a slice of our totalitarian government and institutions.
The hateful propaganda espoused by the Palestinian student body is regretable and truly threatens our Democracy
So the petition is stuffed with right-wing outsiders and shouldn’t be taken seriously, fine. But a lot of those signers were clearly Jews. They claim to be embarrassed by my friends – I am embarrassed by these outsiders. I’m a patriotic Israeli citizen, practicing Jew, keep shabbat, keep kosher, etc. These people are calling me a nazi, anti-semite, “pro-terrorist”. My cousin was almost killed by terrorists. That’s hurtful.
So the “anti-Oren” group here at Brandeis worked very hard to articulate their position as not “anti-Oren” but instead “pro-Unity”. Read the open letter, read the facebook group. No matter what they say, no matter how carefully they make the case that the decision to bring Oren as Commencement speaker is troubling due to the special nature of commencement, these panicked defenders of gung-ho right-wing Jewry think of them as anti-semitic Palestinian radicals running amok and “violating free speech”.
The real frustration throughout all this is how the “pro-Oren” side seems to be willfully both vilifying and ignoring the actual stance of the “pro-Unity” side. I knew this would happen. That’s part of why inviting Oren to be a commencement speaker was a unwise move in the first place.
