“Everyone here tonight is showing that hate and prejudice do not belong on this campus,” J Street U co-president Julia Daniel ’17 told the crowd. “I hope we can follow this gathering with communication, education and with action to make this school a better place for all of its students.”

ANDREA LIM/The Stanford Daily Students gathered at Hillel for the event in order to voice their concerns and opinions about how it felt to be Jewish at Stanford. The discussion was moderated by two students.

    I would like to know how big a crowd this got, what faculty and staff were present, and how many non-Jewish students, including those from SOCC and other student groups who came out for divestment came to this event? If there was not representation by the student groups who called for divestment, yet stated their divestment views had no relation to being anti-semitic, then there is a big problem. Hopefully there was representaton from those groups. After all, as the vote for divestment demonstrated, actions speak louder than words.

    If the SOCC held a rally against racism and you didn’t show up then you’re a racist ?

    200 people showed up. Students wanted it to be “by students, for students,” so faculty and staff were not directly invited, though some did show up. There were a ton of non-Jewish students, including students from SOCC and other student groups who came out for divestment. Great representation. Several of them even spoke at the event, condemning this act of anti-semitism and pledging to work together for improvements. It was positive, hopeful, and healing.

    If you are pro a 57th Muslim state and against 1 Jewish state in the land the Jews made important in the first place, then in my eyes you are either mis-educated or an anti-Semite.

    Fantastic! Thank you so much for answering my questions. The spirit of Jane and Leland Stanford do live on.

  • A Question

    Does criticism of the policies of a nation automatically make one “against” that nation?

    If it does, then half of America is always anti-American.

    And by the way, Ancient Canaan was important before it became part of Ancient Israel. Just look at Jericho, which still stands (albeit in a different form).
