Maya, as Brown grad and a Jew, I am proud of your vigorous and yet nuanced defense of Jews, Zionism and Israel. Thank you for hitting every crucial point, including that Hamas had no reason not to expect the military response from the IDF and clearly welcomes making their people martyrs to their jihadist cause. But even more, I am grateful to Professor Loury for giving you this platform.

Thanks for sharing . Perhaps it would be instructive for Brown and other universities to offer classes on the history of Islamic Colonialism along with the history of slavery in much of the Islamic world . Do you think the progressives on campus would accept it or call it racist? Perhaps they can offer a class called the “History of the indigenous Jews of Palestine “? Perhaps the next time a cop is killed there can be be a protest with signs of Blue Lives Matter - which those who hold the signs clearly do not embrace violence against minorities - and let’s see how the university responds . Does the author think if she held a Blue Lives Matter sign the admin will support her right to speech or her right not to be doxed ? Perhaps they can explain to progressive students that by denying Israel right to exist is an can be used by those who hate Jews to commit “genocide” in the name of “Justice “ and erases Jewish history

Jewish students , teachers and leadership need to demand an end to the double standards that those who espouse CRT push on civil society . Double standards leads to antisemitism and hatred . Everything else is just BS
