The texts, which faculty members said appeared to have gone to nearly all Barnard staff members, appear to be part of an aggressive new tactic by the Trump administration to collect reports of alleged antisemitism at Barnard, a women’s college affiliated with Columbia University that has come under heavy criticism for pro-Palestinian demonstrations on its campus.

    The term is no longer used as such. Antisemite means a person who hates Jews, and many of the “pro-Palestine” people are such - including a huge number of Palestinians and Muslims in general. It’s not a propaganda narrative - it’s a fact. The destruction of Israel and Jews is Hamas’s stated goal.

    The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, until the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say: O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him—except the gharqad tree, for it is one of the trees of the Jews.

    Sahih Muslim, Book 41, Hadith 6985

      You just did a not too subtle thing where you transitioned immediately from pro-palestine not being genocided to pro Hamas.

      You can’t just casually conflate those. Stop it
