Jewish students at Cornell subject to violent threats, warned to avoid Hillel, the kosher dining hall and Jewish community center. Eerily reminiscent of German and Austrian universities of the 1930s – hotbeds of Nazism. But Jews are the canaries in the coal mine. They are the first to die, but never the last.
Do you really believe that if Jewish – not Israeli, Jewish – students must live in fear, your conservative kids will feel comfortable in their universities? Do you honestly think that they will be able to express conservative ideas without being graded down and subjected to vile name-calling? Do you truly imagine that freedom is divisible – that Jews can lose theirs, but you can keep yours? Ain’t gonna happen.
