Safe spaces on campus, no Jews allowed

Uh, because they have been blamed for the death of Jesus?

jews have been hated as long as they have existed, and no one has ever found an answer to why. Many claim it is because they are often rich, but jews often get intosuch position because education is heavy in their religion, and back when most people were illiterate, they had a major advantage.

Also in many countries despite their education jews were still second class citizens, in russia before they were expelled, they were among the poorest there, and third class citizens at best, wishing they could be second class. So the whole they are rich and control everything argument is bunk.

Only argument actually explaining anything came from an iranian man who was in the us on exile(do not ask me what he did and why he needed exile but he chose here over turkey) He said it was because by the old testament x begot x who begot x etc. Basically he said the jews were inbred therefore bad blood. He has offered the only logical explanation on why they are hated that I have heard.

So Muslims kill them for the death of jesus? It seem there s no logicl pattern on why they are hated, if it was over jesus just christians would hate them, not muslims. Even then the bible and the words of jesus would steer them away from hating jews over that.

It is and probably will be a mystery towards why jews are hated and why people view it as acceptable.

Don't forget that, for some reason, the activist Left in the West seems to side with the Islamic side of the equation, at the expense of the Jews and Christians almost 100% of the time.

The activist and liberal left talks out of both sides of its mouth as it relates to religion. They despise almost all things espoused by almost all religions, Islam excepted, and yet piously get their pictures taken walking down the steps of their local church and pursue the votes of those of faith. It's particularly fun to watch the feminists on the left defend Islam while at the same time forgetting that a young Muslim woman who happened to find herself pregnant and in search of an abortion would be honour killed by her father if he finds out.
 
Its not only muslims that don't like jews. I was responding to your statement that you hadn't heard an explanation on why they're hated. You didn't specify only muslims.

The Left's embrace of Muslims is very strange indeed. It seems to be the one intolerant group they tolerate---well, other than themselves, that is.

Scapegoating requires no logic. Jews are always the smaller unique community within a larger whole. That's the closest you can get to a logical explanation.
 
I have always asked myself, and my liberal friends, why these supposedly higher learning institutions allow anti-semitism to flourish.

I never got a straight answer on this from any liberal.

I guess that depends on your definition of "Left." The Left I am referring to would let you sleep in women's shelters and demand you should be allowed to attend Womyn's Fest...to the point of shutting it down for keeping you out.

Only until they learned I'm conservative. At that point they would turn.

I still don't get the Jew hatred.

Where are the articles about a terrorist praising Yahweh before killing innocent civilians?
Where are the articles about people being beheaded in the name of Yahweh?
I have yet to hear of one instance where a woman was stoned to death in the name of Yahweh.
The IDF has never threatened another country unless it was a threat of retaliation from other Jew haters

But no...go on and glorify the real terrorists who kill innocent people in the name of their religion. Persecution is totally OK as long as it's against the evil Joos. Hitler-wannabes.

That is rather interesting...and, I mean that with no disrespect. I think you are onto something. Does the Left's Christian conservative hate supersede their sexual orientation, gender identity umbrella?

I can't say.

But, I do notice that there seems to be a fine line, much like we see with the Jew hate in the op, where the Left suddenly turns on people they would otherwise support. Andrew Sullivan, a gay Catholic conservative, said as much a while back. If true--and I have no reason to doubt that it is--then the SJW Left is really just a messed up bunch of intolerant ideologues and nothing more.

I'm was posting on a very pro-trans, rather popular website (in our little world). I tested my theory by disagreeing with an OP about a translaw, what doesn't matter. I was really quite soft and nice about how I disagreed. I was lambasted, and received several PM's from people that were... hurtful. I haven't posted there again. There is a group in San Antonio, called SAGA (San Antonio Gender Association). My therapist told me to avoid them. Why? They are very politically active and very MUCH politically pure, pure as in much to the left. She had a client, retired military who got hounded out for expressing conservative views. Oh Calamity, you don't even know. I've run into far more left wing hate for my politics then I have right wing disdain for my gender/sexuality.

I believe you 100%.

Why do you think I've become such an asshole re: PC SJW progressive bull****? Ask any Righty here. In their view, I'm actually pretty far Left of Center. But, that little bit of Right lean I tend to have on several issues gets me blasted in the Leftists forums and local coffee shops--I live among a bunch of purity snobs. So, I can see where you too would be blasted for expressing any independent views on issues they hold dear to their hearts, your sexuality/gender ID notwithstanding.

Like I said above, I find it rather interesting...maybe a better word is disquieting.

It's no different than what drives Unions.. you're either in the Union and pro-union or else! (same BASIC mind set, obviously far different situation)

About Rachel Beyda, who is referenced in the WaPo article, here is part of her story (article is dated March 2015):

Thus it comes as a shock when at the University of California Los Angeles, a Jewish woman student applicant for the Student Council's Judicial Board is initially rejected after being asked: "Given that you are a Jewish student and very active in the Jewish community, how do you see yourself being able to maintain an unbiased view?" According to The New York Times, the discussion that followed had "seemed to echo the kind of questions, prejudices and tropes -- particularly about divided loyalties -- that have plagued Jews across the globe for centuries."

The minutes and video of the event suggest some student leaders seemed to be auditioning for the Salem witch trials and others for jobs as political commissars in Communist North Korea. And in February, at another University of California campus in Davis, Jewish students opposed to a Student Council resolution advocating a boycott of Israel were heckled by cries of "Allahu Akbar" and a Jewish fraternity house was daubed with a swastika. UCLA student is latest victim of campus anti-Semitism - CNN.com

Well that's pretty ****ed up, and something that has seemed to be steadily increasing within the last roughly five years.

People have to remember that only certain groups can be offended. Jews, conservatives, white males, heterosexuals, Christians might think they're offended but they're not. They're not one of the groups protected not only from offensive behavior or words but also polite, pleasant behavior and words they choose to deem offensive.

I know you're being sarcastic, but nobody, and I do mean nobody, should be discriminated against on the basis of their race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or religion. That includes blacks, Muslims, homosexuals, and yes, white male heterosexual Christians.

I don't know why Jews are hated so much either, but if I had to guess, it's that we can bounce back from an atrocity like mother****ers.

They are the victims of their own success. In any country where 1% owns 99% of the wealth bankers and lawyers are hated by the little people. It's a stereotype but it's also a cliché, the Jewish bankers and lawyers.

I'm not being sarcastic in the least. Did you hear about the heterosexual couple who had a reservation at the B&B in Key West. They had first names that weren't gender specific and when they showed up the B&B denied them a room because they weren't gay and the other guests would be "uncomfortable"? You probably didn't. You would only have heard if the couple who's reservation was cancelled was gay. Jews are joyously discriminated against on university campuses in the name of liberal diversity. How about a presidential candidate screaming, he screamed a lot, "I hate all Republicans and everything they stand for," and the liberals cheered.

No, I most certainly was not being sarcastic. You are free to discriminate and hate all you want as long as you pick your targets appropriately.

Actually you're right, I didn't hear about the heterosexual couple incident. What's the link?
