Yale Students Protest Appearance of IDF Soldier on Campus
[Hot Air] In case you were worried that the antisemites at America's universities had run out of things to protest, fear not. Students at Yale are kicking off a fresh round of accusations and demands. It turns out that a smaller group of students called Law Students for Israel had invited a soldier from the Israeli Defense Force to come address them on campus. The usual suspects from the local chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP)
...the Soros Foundations fund the Tides Foundation, which funds the WESPAC Foundation, which funds SJP...
were immediately up in arms. They took to social media and began plastering the law school with posters demanding the cancellation of the event. They claimed that having such a person anywhere on campus would make them "unsafe." (Free Beacon)

Yale Law School's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the group that celebrated the murder of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7 and praised the architects of the attack as "martyrs," is calling on the school to cancel an event with a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, arguing that his presence on campus will make students unsafe.

"We implore the administration to take seriously the implications of this militarization of campus," Yale Law Students for Justice in Palestine wrote in a Feb. 1 Instagram post. "The platforming of an IDF combatant recently returned from Israel's atrocities in Gaza makes many of us—especially Palestinian Arab, Muslim, Black, and brown students—feel physically and psychologically unsafe and unwelcome in our own school."

This crew seriously sounds like a collection of snowflakes. I could not find an exact figure for the total membership of SJP at Yale, but they have hundreds of followers on their Facebook page. We're talking about one soldier here. And I seriously doubt they let him bring his rifle or any grenades or anything on the plane with him. Are you seriously telling me that you couldn't handle one guy? And that he makes you feel "unsafe?"

#2 makes many of us—especially Palestinian Arab, Muslim, Black, and brown students—feel physically and psychologically unsafe and unwelcome in our own school.

(a) What about LGBTQ students?
(b) Why unsafe? He's not an illegal immigrant - who do the work Americans won't do.
