Do you think calling for the genocide of Jews violates Columbia's codes of conduct on harassment and bullying?

I think people were upset about the hypocrisy. For years, every minor transgression against a marginalized group was met with swift disciplinary response and thorough investigation. And now they can't even offer a straight answer on a simple question and suddenly turned into free speech absolutists.

It's fine to be either one, but don't piss on me and tell me its raining.

There is an ongoing genocide in Gaza and genocidal language is commonplace in Zionist discourse. If there are cases of hate speech on the pro Palestinian side, they pale in comparison to speech from the other side.

Regardless we shouldn’t be rounding up and imprisoning folks if they disagree with your politics. This is what is getting lost in this specific case.

>Do you think calling for the genocide of Jews

I'm guessing the motte associated with this particular bailey won't be nearly as clear in its violation of such codes.

If someone said they wanted another kistallnacht while holding torches and refusing to allow jews to walk down the street, would you know what they meant? Are they just talking about breaking some glass at a jewish wedding? Maybe they just want to go to one of those rage rooms?

Just so we're clear, people are still losing their minds when someone "finds" a noose-like knot in the vicinity.

There is no baily here.

You're still stuck on the bailey. Let's see the motte (in this case, some evidence of a pattern of calling for genocide of Jews at Columbia)

		How about outright harassment of Jewish students at Columbia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_at_Columbia_Unive... Does that qualify? No? Now replace Jewish with African American. Is that still OK in your book?
