He additionally makes the purpose that if Black college students or some other college students belonging to a particular minority group had been being focused the way in which Jewish college students are proper now … there’d be uproar instantly, and these demonstrations can be shut down in a heartbeat.

Clearly, it is a contentious matter … and clearly, some Jews really feel attacked with protests.
Contemplating how ugly these are getting, ya gotta think about it is solely going to worsen earlier than it will get higher. Neither facet appears keen to budge — and this problem is sweeping the nation.
