A question Gallup asked in 1961, about what has been remembered as one of the most iconic and effective protest movements in American history.
My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.
“We don’t know for certain if [ICC] arrest warrants are imminent,” says one Israeli official. “What is certain is that Netanyahu thinks they are—and he’s in a panic.” economist.com/middle-east-an…
As she tried to break free, one UCLA student journalist said, she was punched repeatedly in the chest and upper abdomen; another student journalist was pushed to the ground and beaten and kicked for nearly a minute. latimes.com/california/sto…
To reiterate: I think, if you look at US Jewish history, we have been well served/kept safe by liberalism, pluralism, and civil rights. I do not think police storming campuses (even if a building's occupied or if you disagree with protesters) furthers those principles. 1/2
Highly recommend reading this profile of a leader of nonviolent protest in the West Bank nytimes.com/2024/05/01/mag…
Here is a good piece about free speech on campus from The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Columbia faculty: We “have spent the day offering our help to defuse the situation on Columbia’s campus and have been rebuffed or ignored.” Says administration + Trustees “will bear responsibility” for any injury that may occur in looming police action.
This seems… a substantive result for protests that a lot of “free-speech” people have been searching for ways to condemn

Worth watching, to see Bret’s cliches patiently and effectively confronted. Every time Jewish faculty or students who support the protests get a chance to speak for themselves, they make clear how hysterical the current panic over antisemitism is

This is the type of comment I’ve been getting a lot for this piece: Always from self-regarding liberals who never want to grapple with the fact that the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 60s – the legacy of which they surely want to claim – clearly violated those principles.

“The only reason we didn’t descend into violence that day was that the students remained calm. They were the only adults in the room.” —@NadiaAbuElHaj1 on the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia go.nybooks.com/4ddotM7
It’s very weird how people just make up the history of activism and social change You can go look at newspaper coverage of lots of protests from history! People (moderates especially) were not happy about them until afterwards! I don’t think you should use this meta-reasoning
I cannot overstate how dangerous this is. If you think that the US government should treat these students the way they are treating Hamas and Hezbollah, you are basically saying there is no level of violence that is off-limits.

I will write about this at greater length elsewhere but—and this does not excuse any antisemitism at protests—the idea that students are motivated by hatred of Jews as opposed to hatred of what they're reading in the news each day is pretty deliberately obtuse.
A depressing conclusion here to today’s abortion arguments at the Supreme Court

…or it could be the widely documented reality that institutions both public and private have shown a years-long, now-amplified tendency to punish expressions of this viewpoint. Who can say?
So to review: a protester accidentally poked a right-wing provocateur in the face with the spherical tip of a small flagpole, resulting in no injury, and multiple media outlets reported it as a Jew being stabbed in the eye. Meanwhile tens of thousands of Palestinians are dead.
I'd urge people to watch the linked video not just as an illustration of how these protests in particular are being covered, but of how events on campus are covered by the press generally speaking.

In a new essay, Zadie Smith writes about the destructive role of language in the campus protests over the war in Gaza. nyer.cm/K8suwS4
This is the plot of AMADEUS
I’m aware this is a popular opinion but folks seem unaware of just how much popular culture sucked in previous decades and even prior centuries. Abraham Lincoln was murdered watching a play that was actual trash.
@NewYorker “Students should choose their rhetoric more carefully,” says an essay that compares student slogans to nuclear weapons in the first sentence.
the sequel to Flatlands we've always needed
found this in my drafts and remembered I woke up delirious in the middle of the night and hastily wrote it down thinking I was cooking, the parentheses were a note to myself about the important context
“Why won’t they engage with journalists” is a standard that only gets applied to US left-wing protests. No one reporting on demonstrations in Russia sees their role as plopping down on a bench and challenging democracy activists to persuade them. No one’s writing a huffy column…
Former Hillel International board member here (student representative, 2011-13). For many years, folks (me included) tried to change it from within, to be a politically pluralistic space for Jewish students across Zionism and Anti-Zionism (through Open Hillel most prominently).
What’s even more ridiculous is pretending that Hillel isn’t an exclusively Zionist organization. From their Standards of Partnership:
Calling for a “complete boycott” of and to “cut ties” with Hillel — the center of Jewish life on most campuses, where students attend Shabbat & holidays, do social justice & interfaith work, and come together as a Jewish community — is antisemitic. And ridiculous.
Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble … unless their assembly in any way upsets normal campus life and their cause lacks majority support.
Here's a small explainer. Speech & robust debate: good. Disrupting normal campus life to accomplish goals the majority doesn't support: bad, esp when accompanied by intimidation, harassment, & silencing of opposing speech
Messages of anti-trans activists in France were leaked. They explain that they want to flood doctors with lawsuits and don’t care if they always lose. Why? It’ll still wear the doctors down and discourage them from practicing—pointing to one who burned out as proof.
This piece, about how Netanyahu and his associates believe he can run again and win, reminds me of that old Mubarak joke: the angel of death comes and tells him to say goodbye to the Egyptian people, and Mubarak replies, "Why? Where are they going?" timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-will…
Because I know this matters a lot to anti-trans activists: In jail today I was processed/held with the other men.
Before I became, er, closer to the story than I'd intended I spent days visiting the UVA encampment, treating everyone respectfully (students, but also police, admin, faculty, staff) and gently making overtures to see if someone might be comfortable talking at some point.
It's true- but I'm home safe now, all is well.
@johnedwinmason Just telling anyone who might care but my brother Evan, a journalist @assignedmedia, was arrested while observing from the press area. Police have no news and jail has a useless phone tree
I took a year of handbells, so whenever anyone talks I am trying to figure out what bell they sound like and how big it is in my head.
The way some college administrations & politicians speak of "Jewish safety" is contemptuous of Jewish safety. It is not even about Jewish safety; it's the utilization of *some* Jews as cover for a political project that erases other Jews. 3/
Feels bad to be self promotional over this very good thread but if you are interested in reading more about how the label of "Bad Jew" has been applied for political ends (and how it's a subjective/meaningless label) bookshop.org/p/books/bad-je… (or go to your local library)
Some of my fellow Jews will with good intentions take that bait, will walk into the rightwing invitation to speak for "the Jews." There's no such thing as "the Jews," there's only Jewish people. There aren't "Good Jews" & "Bad Jews," there are only Jewish people. 11/
students are standing up for their values despite knowing they could be injured, slandered, imprisoned and even killed for it. boy would I feel really silly if I’d recently published anything that relies on the idea that students are coddled and obsessed with safetyism
It used to be the case that the average university student was a Nobel Prize winner. Back before woke.
I’m complain about these people a lot but I can assure you I don’t hate them as much as they hate most of the public
