Hi, Jewish MIT student here. No protestors on MIT campus have called for Jewish genocide despite Rep. Stefanik’s twisted, opportunistic insistence. And just wondering, does Stanford also unequivocally condemn the actual groundwork being laid for the genocide of Palestinians?

In the context of the national discourse, Stanford unequivocally condemns calls for the genocide of Jews or any peoples. That statement would clearly violate Stanford’s Fundamental Standard, the code of conduct for all students at the university.

The New York Times is literally producing real-time propaganda to provide cover for a genocide. This extends way, way beyond simply bias, pseudo-objectivity or self-censorship.

This points to the same huge problem on MIT campus. The school has not defined antisemitism and yet they are reporting that antisemitic incidents are on the rise. It’s impossible to know what kinds of incidents they are talking about.

Absolutely pathetic decision making from every country that has withdrawn support for the UNRWA. It’s apparently not enough to aid and abet the complete destruction and ethnic cleansing of Gaza and its people. UN aid is less than the BARE MINIMUM.

@TheCuStone No, the Nazis killed Jews because they believed that the Aryan race needed more land and they sought to expand into Eastern Europe. Antisemitism theories originating in Germany and Eastern Europe provided the justification.

MIT's Jewish students are being used by Mike Johnson and Elise Stefanik, who ally themselves with right-wing neofascist antisemitism right here in the United States, to try to roll back decades of effort to make our universities more representative of the country we live in.

@TheCuStone But maybe you should read a book. The Balfour Declaration put forward the UK's intention to create a Jewish state in Palestine in 1917. And Israel was officially established in 1948, a few years after the Holocaust ended.

@librarythingtim But also, the idea that there is such outrage over what the presidents failed to say about a conjured up problem on their campus while the U.S. aids and abets Israeli war crimes which are actively cheered by members of all three campus communities is sick.

@librarythingtim To be clear, the issue here is that this question was preceded by a claim that intifada chants were calls for Jewish genocide. When this claim was linked to the question, it suggested that intifada chants violated the code of conduct.

This is absolutely absurd. How a school can ban silent protest while claiming to encourage discourse and free thought is beyond me. I hope students will be able to put together large enough protests to provide some strength in numbers because these policies require responses.

As city planners, this is why we have to think hard about how to plan for less reliance on personal consumer goods, including cars. Cobalt may not emit GHGs into the atmosphere (although its extraction does!), but mining destroys ecosystems and continues centuries of imperialism.
