I worked in academic librarianship for 30+ years and my professional association was a cesspool of misinformation and anti-Jewish groupthink. It was very hard to argue because the opponents were almost completely ignorant of basic history or willfully obfuscating and name-calling/shouting down/re-educating Maoist style or race-bating.
Thank you for your illustration...If we who Know the Truth don't come together despite the evil but 'accepted '-antisemitism , our Posterity is Doomed!
@@SuspectUsual no, Are your words good ? The mindset of Israel reminds of America after 911 and mistakes were made with thousand unalived. When in reality it had nothing to do with defense or protection but pure nastiest. The lack of empathy to understand another culture. I get it there still boundaries however. It’s the reason America pulled out and lost, they forgot to get to know the people. Not everyone is in the Mafia.
@@SuspectUsual no I want you use your humanity. Critical thinking skills and empathy. The world is not black and white and many people who innocent in this mess. How are your words being perceived any better than theirs? how’s your mindset, black and white?
Why call him professor? He’s a business professor and this topic has nothing to do with business school. Weird to give people an authoritative title when they’re just giving their personal opinion
I became a different person after October the 7th I’m not Jewish, I’m Kurdish living in Australia… I started crying seeing the chat of gas the Jews outside the opera house followed by a government warning advising Jews to stay home. I completely reevaluated my life and my friends… I’m ashamed of my generation I stand with Israel now and forever because I did my own research and recognised that the truth was with Israel 🇮🇱 I love you all and I’m sorry for humanity ❤
The worst is that right after October 7th, pro Palestinians emerged as victims after the horrific actions of Hamas ! It’s a chaotic world not been able to differentiate between right and wrong! I am so happy Shai came back to teach at Colombia!!!!
Very grateful to The Quad and dear Shai. I got Harvard on one side with MIT and Boston U etc on the other. I am exhausted from fear for myself, and my people here in Europe, Israel.
You are safer in Gaza. Professor Shai DavidAi, 39 is a dual citizen. He has served in the IDF. He should volunteer to be a soldier in Gaza. Israel needs him in Gaza or in Lebanon. Why is he still in Colombia?
I support the right of Israelis to life and happiness. No decent person can support the right of the apartheid system to continue unchanged. Israel is the new Rhodesia. It needs to change
I’m a Canadian senior citizen I’m not Jewish but I stand 100% behind Israel and all the Jewish people of the world. I attend the Sunday rallies and March in hopes of waking people up to the truth. It’s not a lot but every bit helps. God bless you all. 🙂🇨🇦
Q: *What are some lessons that Muslims need to learn?* A1: *Wrong book leads to wrong results!* A2: *Actions have consequences!* A3: *Losing a war you started is called Defeat, not Genocide!* A4: *Unprovoked killing of civilians is called Terrorism, not Resistance!*
I'm not Jewish but the instant celebration, downplaying, and denial of Oct 7 disturbed me to the core. In addition to processing the horror and grief of Oct 7, the Jewish community now has to deal with hate here at home. I worked at at JCC for several years and it was special to feel included in your beautiful culture. The concept of Tikkun Olam has stayed with me ❤
Thank you for your courage and help, Prof .Davidian. May the hostages return , may Israel thrive in peace and security. May you be inscribed for a year of health and accomplishment and success.
Actually, Gad Saad read a study of voting patterns among professors. It was one Republican voter to 80-200 Democrat voters. In some disciplines, such as Anthropology, they could not find a single Republican voting professor.
Some universities are receiving a lot of money from Muslim majority countries and they don’t want to lose it. That fact coupled with the fact that they are afraid of the radical Muslims is a recipe for a major problem we have on our hands.
In South Africa you cant even go onto college campuses without a student ID card. Never understood americas none fenced buildings and people complaining about trespassers. Dont want trespassers, build a fence and screen who comes in
## Problems Identified in the Passage * **Lack of Transparency:** The passage highlights the difficulty of identifying the "foot soldiers" of anti-Semitism on campus, suggesting a hidden or underground nature to the problem. * **Infiltration of Universities:** The passage reveals that anti-Semitic sentiment has infiltrated university campuses, with professors and students promoting harmful ideologies. * **Ineffective University Responses:** Despite efforts to address the issue, the university administration seems slow to act or ineffective in their responses. * **The Threat of Violence:** The passage expresses concern that anti-Semitic sentiment could escalate into violence, similar to past terrorist attacks. ## Arguments Made in the Passage * **The Persistence of Anti-Semitism:** The passage argues that anti-Semitism remains a significant problem on university campuses, even if it is less overt than in the past. * **The Need for Vigilance:** It emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant and prepared to counter anti-Semitic activities. * **The Role of Universities:** The passage criticizes university administrations for their slow response and lack of action in addressing anti-Semitism. * **The Importance of Open Debate:** The author argues for the need to foster open dialogue and debate, even on controversial topics, to combat extremism. ## Evaluation of the Arguments The arguments presented in the passage are generally supported by evidence and analysis. The author provides specific examples of anti-Semitic incidents on campus and highlights the challenges of addressing the problem. However, the passage could benefit from a more in-depth analysis of the root causes of anti-Semitism and the potential solutions. Additionally, it might be helpful to explore the role of social media and online platforms in spreading anti-Semitic rhetoric and organizing hate groups. Overall, the passage offers a valuable perspective on the ongoing challenges of combating anti-Semitism on university campuses. It highlights the need for continued vigilance, proactive measures by university administrations, and open dialogue among students, faculty, and administrators.
But...the bottom line is: HOW DO YOU hold the Administrators and Students (and Outside Instigators ) ACCOUNTABLE in order to Protect the Jewish Students and Our Posterity ( who Might choose Reason over Fascism) from intimidation , Threats and Harm? And, why do I only Hear Crickets whenever I ask this ...Question?
I attended a very large, very well-known and thought of flagship state university in the mid to late seventies. These types of hateful, vile protests would have been completely unthinkable back then. During my four years on campus, I never even had one encounter with a fellow student or professor that could have been construed to be antisemitic. As a result, it's taken me a long time to understand how captured and corrupted many if not most of the universities have become. To be sure, there were "glimpses" of far left, woke ideology back then, but they were nascent and at that point were marginalized and contained, small enough to be considered "different points of view". Clearly, I wildly underestimated the problem.
Shalom praise Yeshua from Uganda 🙏🥰 as for now it seams better for security, but thank you we will for sure pray that in whatever way the Lord God of Israel will dismiss those antisemitic teachers , either they will have to go or they don’t feel comfortable anymore and leave themselves but are not allowed to teach anywhere . If they have children let them experience by maybe prejudice against their children how it feels and let their children have the revaluation that they are suffering because of what their parents are doing and let them make their parents responsible and let their guilty parents breakdown and repent and never forget again in Yeshua’s name .
Please dear Ones, know that many, many Christians are crying over this nightmare on the campuses...and praying to the God of Abraham, ISSAC and JACOB !
@@MARTINSTERN Truth. Be for America and be for our Ally Israel like JD Vance who wrote a proposal along with two other Senators asking for our USA President to give to Israel without funding Hamas. Biden / Harris shut it down. Bring Them Home Now! I stand with Israel! Please vote for Trump / Vance 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱
Silly people this is been going on for a long time and you did nothing and said nothing. In 1996 I was punished rather severely including a penalty of a full grade point in one of my courses for not being politically correct. And I know political correctness goes back to the early 80s. These are the sources of the problem you have today the Harvard professor who said “anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism there are two very different things” was the negotiator race near Sudan and negotiated favoring the rebel in what is now South Sudan. So that was the early 70s. The centralization of power in the movement to end individual right a pro racist movement goes back to Abraham Lincoln. And that was a while ago it will not be stopped short of another Civil War. We let it grow to long.
I hope unuversities have learnt that siding with violent anti-protestors and getting the police to attack overwhelmingly peaceful student protest is a bad idea.
Vous voulez dire : si vous êtes un civil et que vous permettez à une organisation terroriste d'utiliser votre maison, vous verrez une pluie d'enfer s'abattre sur votre maison??
I've edited the program description to read better: "Are U.S. college campuses in for a repeat of last year’s alarming free speech fest? In today’s interview, "The Quad" discusses the current state of unbridled democracy and free speech on campus with Columbia University professor Shai Davidai. We conclude that thankfully such troubling outbreaks of free speech and democracy will not occur again, thanks to Draconian regulations making it impossible to exercise those dangerous rights, that have no place on our college campuses. Henceforth genocide will be allowed to proceed with impunity because any protests against it will be labelled hate speech and the protesters will be smeared and vilified.
And regardless of the propaganda of students fearing for their life and fear of being harmed. Please disregard the actual facts that 2 who said they were harmed . That were used and repeated in hearings about antisemitism, even after it coming out they weren’t true.. to exaggerate and lie, 1) Stabbed in the eye… lie .. nope was not by any means or the. definition of being stabbed! Not even close . Just a lie! 2) Kicked in the head at a protest- lied and was kicked by people on her side of the protest. When she bent over to pick up her sister’s flag was bumped. Fell down and was kicked in the head accidentally by people on the pro Israel side! But if you review the UCLA footage.. umm who was acting like whack jobs attacking students with pepper spray, skunk spray, 2x4’s, throwing bike stands, several beating up On one student, dragging people out from Their encampment. ( who by the way never left their encampment on their own) Were hit over the head with 2x4’s and girls had their hands smashed with 2x4’s! 3 Palestinian students shot Students sprayed with skunk spray at another campus where videos show there was nothing but a peaceful Protest! All had to go to the hospital. And the poor little Palestinian boy stabbed 27 times. Due to hysterical exaggerated propaganda VIA MEDIA MSM MEDIA! But please ignore all the actual facts and believe what’s not fact!!!
If course the truth got taken down!! That will be what hurts Jewish people the most. The Jewish people who are out right lying . That group of people , not all Jewish people , are hurting people!!!
@@soulfireonfire6423Exactly, after all...Quatar might be paying for their "potential-Students " , but Why should Parents "pay " for any Degree if their child "from That Communist-Indictrinating -Thought-Tank-University won't get hired by "Honorable and Trust Concerned" Companies and Agencies ? Besides the fact ...that suddenly sweet Bobby or Kristy is home as a Terrorist dressed inexplicably-raving anti-Reason individual loving the in-crowd and an illusion of Shmorgesboarding ?
Professor Shai DavidAi, 39 is a dual citizen. He has served in the IDF. He should volunteer to be a soldier in Gaza. Israel needs him in Gaza or in Lebanon. Why is he still in Colombia?
