In Our Name: A Message from Jewish Students at Columbia University

[It’s so Joever]

This goes down to the fundamental question of whether you believe every ethnicity is inherently entitled to a unique ethnostate of their own and to what extent it can be at the expense of other cultures and ethnicities.
It is interesting that the letter brings up the centuries of Jewish connection to what is Israel and Palestine today, but does not offer the same mention at all to the Arabic people in the region. That is why I struggle to take this letter any more seriously than the people they are writing against, because it simply feeds into this vicious mentality which tore apart my mother’s country and is doing the same here.

They seem to argue it is an inherent cultural Jewish trait to seek an ethnostate in the Levant. However could you say the same for Palestinians? At a certain point these students and their letter just demonstrates the mentality which led to this in the first place and further demonstrates the lack of care at best for the forced expulsion of the Palestinian inhabitants into bantutistans in the West Bank.

I am done with the students of our universities carrying water for one of two governments which do both seek an ethnic cleansing in the region and would do it if they could. And yes this is a problem with the Israeli and Palestinian people obviously as well, and until they are willing to admit it I don’t really care nor should any American beyond our own strategic interests.
