"please stop politicizing this tragedy" says the administration that is using this as an excuse to shut down all Afghan immigration rights.

Amazing that the vice president of the United States is willing to blood libel an entire group of Americans and we all shrug.

In order to protect the Jews at Penn, the government is going to make them wear little yellow stars of David so we know who shouldn't be subject to having to see a Keffiyeh.
The government, in going after Penn to "fight antisemitism," has asked for "a list of members of Jewish-related campus groups and the names of employees in the school's Jewish Studies Program."

We do not believe that turning over lists of Jews is helpful to the fight against antisemitism.
