Are American college campuses hotbeds of anti-semitism coming from the progressive left?

That’s what the so-called “liberal mainstream media” keeps saying, and I don’t see anyone speaking up to contradict or rebut them.

I don't know. I want to say no, but then people around here who are traditionally very left-wing are acting like they want to call for the heads of all Jews.

@LordShadowfire I haven’t really noticed that, although I often hear other people make similar observations. What I see is progressives, who are merely concerned that the Israeli government might commit genocide against the Palestinians, getting labeled as “antisemitic” and “pro-Hamas”. On RCP I keep seeing warnings that swing voters are going to abandon Democrats en masse (and presumably make Trump president again) because now we’re the party of antisemitism.

I've seen that as well. But I'm talking about folks who literally want Israel to cease to exist.

@LordShadowfire Yeah, I keep hearing about those people but I have yet to encounter one myself.
@JPWhoo voodoo but spelled "wr0ng" is one of them.

@LordShadowfire Don't you think that appeals more to the "Jews will not replace us" crowd? I've heard and seen exactly ZERO coverage of anyone calling for the dissolution of Israel. Except by terrorists. If you have I'd be really curious to see some of that.
@Ynotisay I'm confused by it myself, but I can share links with you.

@LordShadowfire If you could that would cool. Because the only people I'm aware of calling for the dissolution of Israel are fanatical terrorists.
@Ynotisay I stand corrected. It wasn't that user, and to them, I apologize. It was the Bohemian user with the alien avatar. Argued all day the other day that Israel was an ethno state founded for the purpose of Jewish supremacy, and so therefore, they are responsible for the whole war, even if Hamas is doing bad things.
