Harvard willfully ignored harassment of Jews and Israelis, Trump administration finds
I find that this article lacks evidence of any individual Jewish student being directly harmed during the protests. It seems more concerned with the fact that some students were protesting in support of Palestinian citizens, not in support of Hamas. The publication itself leans conservative and frequently aligns with figures like Trump. It would be more informative if the article included data, such as the number of Jewish professors at Harvard, to provide a broader context. The university is not neglecting Jewish student safety, and students have the right to protest, just as citizens do in the streets. I feel the term anti-Semitism is being overused. Advocating for the rights of Palestinian citizens, such as access to life, education, and work, does not make someone anti-Jewish. It reflects opposition to the policies of the Israeli government. Remember, Israel is not a religious institution like the Vatican; it's a state, and criticism of its government should not be conflated with hatred toward the Jewish faith or people. Using anti-Semitism as a blanket label is dangerous, it risks silencing those who speak out against violence and injustice inflicted on innocent civilians.
