The Pitzer editorial states that the second principle is “in contemplating action in response to injustice, listen to the victims, to those who are suffering, to learn what help they seek from allies.” Perhaps we should listen more closely to the people of Tibet.
That is anti-Semitic in effect if not in intent. The government of Israel, like the governments of most nations, is hardly a group of saints. There is nothing wrong with criticizing Israel.

Disagree with your biased and somewhat one sided views....Israel is a rogue state finish and klaar!

Being against a country’s human rights violations doesn’t make you an antisemite! Stop with the bullshit! Calling out the Catholic Church’s and Vatican’s decades long cover up of child sex abuse doesn’t make you anti-Christian either!!!
