Yeah okay.

We'll see what happens. It is okay to be pro-Palestine. It is not okay to be pro-Hamas. This seems like an easy case, but as we've seen with this DOJ's inability to indict a sub sandwich, I have the feeling it will be bungled.

I think having ‘Jewish Exclusion Zones’ is wrong. Call me crazy

Reading into it, they NEVER called it that, they never stopped Jews specifically, they never engaged in anti-semiatic attacks, but asked people crossing the picket line to condemn Israel.

asked people crossing the picket line to condemn Israel.

How is it any better?

It isn't worse or better, but it isn't what the comment said it was. It is about true and false.

There's a massive difference between a Jewish Exclusion Zone and a picket line over a political issue.

To me this seems like a distinction without a difference, but as long as we agree that it's not any better, ok.

I'm Jewish and I find Israel's actions abhorrent, so clearly the distinction does exist.

Are you supportive of encampment protestors who target anyone wearing a kippah and say they cannot get by unless they express support for globalizing the intifada, destroying the world's only Jewish state, and taking off Jewish star necklaces?

Because that's what happened on UCLA's campus. I don't know you or have any way to know if you're Jewish, but if you are as you say, do you support that kind of action, or do you condemn it?

And can you understand why the 90%+ of Jews worldwide, with very few exceptions, would be appalled at that kind of behavior?
