| Brown University suspends Students for Justice in Palestine group after reports of harassment and ‘banging on a vehicle.’ Meet the 11 anti-Israel agitators arrested after occupying a University of Minnesota building [CampusReform] 11 anti-Israel protesters were arrested on Oct. 21 after they occupied a campus building at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. The protest was led by Students for a Democratic Society, with Students for Justice in Palestine also involved in the protest. According to Alpha News, a safety alert was issued after protesters entered Morrill Hall and began damaging property.

Chuckey Schumer is nothing but a kapo traitor. He should be ashamed of himself,” said former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat-turned-Republican who heads the group Americans Against Antisemitism. “He is a traitor to America. He is a traitor to the Jewish people. Shame on him! This is what the Democratic Party has become.” According to the report, Columbia trustees ridiculed the committee for reviewing their oversight of the violence and prejudice on campus and texted about how they hoped Democrats would take control of Congress after Shafik’s discussion with Schumer. University leadership then felt emboldened to avoid any kind of meeting with Republicans after Schumer and his staff indicated that a forum with the political party wasn’t necessary, the report states. As the new school year started last month, Columbia was slammed by more anti-Israel protesters, who defaced an Alma Mater statue on college grounds with red paint. The Republican-led House Education panel also found that Ivy League university leaders made “an intentional decision” to cut language condemning Hamas’ massacre of more than 1,200 civilians as “violence” and references to their Israeli hostages from any official statements following the brutal attack. “We denounce this act of terror,” reads an earlier draft of the statement that was jettisoned, according to the report. The report also found several schools withheld support from Jewish students. US campus ‘Gaza solidarity sukkahs’ ignite debates on anti-Zionist Jews’ observance [IsraelTimes] While almost certainly intended to be provocative, ceremonial huts at universities pose a question of whether the political messaging is cynical or genuine religious expression It’s cynically done by people who do not live Jewishly. Sukkot has always been celebrated at home, in private Jewish spaces like synagogue and community center grounds. During the Temple period Jews went up to Jerusalem to offer the mandated sacrifices, but that ended nearly two millennia ago. Jews Against Zionism NYU has also expressed vocal support for Within Our Lifetime, a radical pro-Palestinian group that advocates Israel’s destruction and whose protest targets — including Brooklyn’s “OY/YO” sculpture and an exhibit commemorating the victims of the Nova festival massacre — have led mainstream Jewish groups and a range of politicians across the political spectrum to charge it with antisemitism.There were other signs of intra-Jewish unrest on campuses, including Harvard Hillel’s suspension of its chapter of the liberal pro-Israel group J Street U after the latter group initiated a Yom Kippur-themed flyer protest campaign. The sukkahs were met with a range of reactions, mostly in opposition, from universities on edge about stoking further campus tensions around Israel. In many cases, the sukkahs were classified as unauthorized structures and removed by university administrators, who cited new public protest rules solidified in the aftermath of this spring’s pro-Palestinian encampment movement. Such responses at times turned aggressive: Rutgers University, for example, brought a bulldozer to the site of its students’ anti-Zionist sukkah. Betar US, a right-wing pro-Israel group that traces its roots to pre-state Zionist activist Zeev Jabotinsky, told the student paper they “happily and proudly” disrupted the sukkah. On Instagram, Betar referred to it and similar Gaza solidarity sukkahs as a “Jihaddi [sic] Sukkah” and referred to its participants as “thugs” and “terrorists.” As we read during the Passover Seder, answering the question what makes the night when we celebrate the exodus of the Hebrew slaves from Egypt different from all other nights of the year: Across the country, around two dozen anti-Zionist Jewish groups, most aligned with Jewish Voice for Peace, constructed theirown Gaza solidarity sukkahs in a similar spirit to the Passover seders and Shabbat services they held in encampments this spring.The wicked son says: "What is this service to you?" Since he excluded himself from the whole you should exclude him from the whole. Say to him, "'because of what God did for me'—me and not you, if you had been there, you would not have been redeemed." All offensive public performances of rituals they do not live.
