... in fact the exact opposite is true, with Jewish students being denied seats on student government unless they pledge their loyalty to BDS.

Where are you getting this info ?
Please post a link.

That's definitely a thing, folks don't like to talk about it, but anti-Semitism in the U.S. is currently a bigger problem on the left than it is on the right (although it's a problem there too).  The anti-Semitic left just uses Israel as excuse to say how they really feel about Jews under the guise of sticking up for so-called victims of of oppression like good little liberals.
It's sooooo nice when our parties come together to make good laws.

By the way the 14 Dems signed on to this thing:

-Schumer
-Wyden
-Cardin
-Gillibrand
-Cantwell
-Blumenthal
-Coons
-Peters
-McCaskill
-Menendez
-Donnelly
-Manchin
-Bennet

A corresponding bill in the House has gained the support of Steny Hoyer, Adam Schiff, Ted Lieu, and Eric Swalwell.

Traitors and shills, all of them.

Traitors to what?  The anti-Semitic whackjobs at BDS?  Hamas-coddling fellow travelers like Jeremy Corbyn?  You're gonna have to be a little more specific there.  Last time I checked, members of Congress don't pledge allegiance to the PLO, but maybe times have changed.  There are plenty of legitimate reasons that this bill is an abomination.  How is it that you manage to come across so badly when you're criticizing something this awful?  

I can't speak for anyone else, but I suspect the the traitor label coming up because the Congresscritters are perceived to be doing this to curry favor with a foreign power, not from the interests or desires of their constituents.
