1. What???, Trample on the right to be an
mark ,   usa   (03.18.16)
anti-semite. Is that the rhetorical argument opponents of the bill are trying to make.
2. To Mark from US
Eva ,   Germany   (03.18.16)
As most US-Americans You are not fluend in comprehensive reading: the term debated is not anti-Semitism, but anti-zionism. Get it? And the porblem is people like You eager to conflate anti-semitism with anti-zionism. An example for first-grade like You, dear Mark from US: Being a Palestinian or any other non-Jewish minority in Israel it is quite appropriate to be anti-zionistic, because they stole Your land, culture and freedom of expression, but it is not neccessary that a Palestinian or other indigenous people from Palestine are anti-Semitic when Israelis have stopped ethnic celansing, prisoning minors, troturing political opponents, and killing demonstrators.
3. Whoever is against,Zion,is also a
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.18.16)
Antisemite,and is opposed to the very existence of Israel.The enemies of Israel and the Jewish people,are also the enemies of Western Civilization,in the company of Binladen, Stalin,and the Austrian El Vagabonde.

5. Notice that since bam became president more and more
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (03.19.16)
universities, student bodies, media attacks on Israel? They, like cockroaches, come out en mass to attack our only ME ally, Israel, for their doctrine is repugnant and they try and cover their sins in a blanket of anti semitism masquerading as critics of Jewish Israel. May they all join obama in hell. KEEP BUILDING BABY !!!
6. #1: indeed Mark, that is a huge responsibility in the warped
(03.19.16)
minds of progressive thinkers from Marx, Stalin, Mao, Yossi Beilin&Co, Meretz and on... Do we allow our sense of self-preservation to Trump(pun intended) democracy's right to self-destruct???!!!
7. Simpleminded approach
Moshe ,   Los Angeles, USA   (03.18.16)
Apparently, the university system cannot handle complexity. So, it is taking the simplistic, Black-and-White approach of categorizing Israel-related speech and activities as anti-Semite or not. This is shameful. It is also absurd as there is no way this will work.
8. #2 Eva in Germany
Benji ,   US   (03.19.16)
We understand how cowards hide behind these slogans. Good to see the University System considering action. There is no excuse for antisemitism. Perhaps when the knife wielding, terror loving Palestinians stop terror, they will be treated better. And tell them to stop sending their children to commit crimes in Israel, then cry about the response. They won't like this behavior in Germany either.
