Seems like blaming all Jewish people for disliked actions of the government of Israel. Deplorable, although not surprising in that it is common to blame all members of an ethnic, religious, or racial group for the disliked actions of some (lots of other examples should be obvious).
@ucbalumnus I don’t think it is that at all. I am from a mixed faith family but feel very uncomfortable saying anything negative regarding Israel or even slightly in favor of Arabs. My experience is that even if you are a Jew, doing so invariably attracts accusations that you are anti-semitic. It’s a bit like accusing people who are critical of the Vatican of being anti-Catholic.
I cannot speak for Brown, but at other Ivy League universities, Jewish students have nothing to worry about. Except perhaps from some of their co-religionists.
