Debra Messing Instagram – A MESSAGE TO ALL THE JEWISH COLLEGE KIDS who were intimidated into leaving school because campus was no longer safe for Jews.
To the kids who were bullied, harassed, assaulted, spat on, thrown down, blocked from entering the library or a class, for the kids who stood singing Hatikva -“The Hope”- with an Israeli flag and an American flag and were told Death to Zionists, Death to America, followed by both flags being stolen and set on fire.
To the kids who had to endure jihadi screams of “There is only one solution, Intifada Revolution,” which refers to terrorists wearing suicide vests in cafes, buses, schools, anywhere large crowds of Israeli citizens could be, and were, murdered. Calls for that to be globalized.
To the kids who were told they didn’t deserve to live, that their ancestral homeland was stolen land, that the beautiful democracy in the Middle East that has 2 million Arabs living free, with equal rights, serving on the Supreme Court and in the government, was an apartheid state.
To the kids whose college administrations failed them. Who allowed Jews to be surrounded by masked “protestors” and pushed out of their campus, who prioritized placating students who were proudly breaking university rules, using hate speech that incited violence, breaking windows with hammers, vandalizing buildings that the took over, yelling “We love Hamas, we are Hamas,”defied orders to disband, cancelled classes, and graduations, instead of doing their job and making the students adhere to the rules and expelling them if they didn’t.
They did nothing to ensure that campus and classes were available to all paying students without threats or harassment.
To all the students who were excluded from taking classes, going to religious services, listening to guest speakers and forced to experience college virtually “for their own safety.”
I see you.
We all see you.
And I’m so sorry.
🇮🇱✡️For any student experiencing harassment or intimidation or exclusion on campus these 2 mensches are doing pro bono work for us all.
