This is so concerning! @mstein81 details how a student government hearing on #BDS at @swarthmore quickly devolved into an #antisemitic hate fest. algemeiner.com/2019/03/12/bds…
The student government at @swarthmore conflated #Zionism with #Nazism, harked on old #antisemitic tropes, used inflammatory rhetoric reminiscent of #IlhanOmar and #DavidDuke.
Instead of condemning this bigotry, @swarthmore student government encouraged it. They sent an email proudly stating that the meeting should be a “precedent” for future meetings, and “an example of what SGO should strive to be.”
Student @mstein81 justifiably asks, "What could be more disturbing to a Jewish student than to read that @swarthmore student government should 'strive' to hold spectacularly uncivil meetings that contain overt elements of #antisemitism?"
.@mstein81 also points out this rhetoric is driving away students who hold #Israel as part of their identities, Jewish or otherwise. Students who were admitted to @swarthmore declined to attend the school because they are afraid of being harassed and bullied.
