Corbynization

For John, BLUF:  Anti-Semitism is a growing problem in these United States, and an ugly problem.  And, we arenot distinguishing between the casual bad choice of words and vicious actions, that physically harm people.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Rutgers University Chancellor Christopher J. Molloy Condemns the Rise in Antisemitic Violence; and then Apologizes for Doing So

Here is the sub-headline:

Molloy winds up implicitly endorsing the argument that criticizing antisemitism in the United States is anti-Palestinian.

From Reason Magazine [Volokh Conspiracy], by Professor David Bernstein, 28 May 2021, 10:14 AM.

Here is the last paragraph:

If a condemnation of antisemitism in the U.S. because of a recent upsurge in violence, threats, and vandalism, combined with a condemnation of all other forms of bigotry, triggers Students for Justice in Palestine, the chancellor's response could have taken many forms, including silence.  The one response that's completely unacceptable is to endorse SJP's view that condemning antisemitism in the United States makes you anti-Palestinian, or indeed reflects any view on the Arab-Israeli conflict at all.

The Chancellor and Provost at Rutgers University–New Brunswick condemn anti-Semitism, and then when a group, Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine, pushes back, the Chancellor and Provost back off. 

I don't object to the Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine raising objections.  I do object to the University caving in to those students.  Where is the intellectual integrity of higher education Administrators.  It is a good thing that Galileo Galilei lived when he did, when thinkers defended their thoughs, even against His Holiness, the Pope.  It appears today they just crumble.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
