So people in Israel are sitting in fancy restaurants and cheering their singer in the Eurovision while a few miles away way their forces block food and medicine for starving children. And then we hear that Jewish students feel uncomfortable about pro-Palestinian protests. I wonder if there is a connection

Are Jewish students in the US blocking food and medicine? Are pro-Palestinian protestors not eating in restaurants and listening to music? The irrational connection posed here does underline the root of discomfort felt by some Jewish students abroad: antisemitism. Students are uncomfortable because of calls made for the erasure of Israel itself, the insistence on doing so “by any means necessary,” and the accusation that they (Jewish students?) are “colonizers.” No matter how horrific the Israeli govt’s actions - it doesn’t mean that an entire country (including 7million Jews) will simply vanish.
