Anti-Israel Activity at Wellesley

@3girls3cats‌

I am sorry I missed this post. Most of what you mentioned are true.

As you correctly said, this is not a political discussion about Israel or Palestine. This is about Wellesley. Is Wellesley anti Israel, just because some students hung up a poster and an ill timed firing of the Hillel staff took place?

In my humble opinion, Wellesley is not Anti-Israel.

Students are free to think, debate and to demonstrate. Any good liberal arts college or any progressive educational institution will and should encourage such debate. If a school hinders in such freedom and take sides then it is bigoted and will not develop future leaders.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, the issue of Israel, Palestine is way beyond my capacity to comprehend or to take sides. Both sides are intensely emotionally invested in this issue.

Wellesley is NOT Anti Israel or Anti Jewish, nor does it encourage such an environment in it’s premises. Do not unnecessarily tarnish Wellesley for what it is not.
