We will NOT GIVE NOW until Vassar's President and Trustees put a STOP to permitting hate-mongering speakers, ongoing faculty and student disruptions, the bullying of Jewish students on the subjects of boycotting Israel and one-sided support for the Palestinians vis a vis Israel.

Even in free speech, especially in the learning environment of academia, intolerance invites small-mindedness that tears us apart, bringing out our worse nature, that history has proven dangerous in ways we cannot tolerate. Vassar can and must repudiate the same. I stand with my brothers and sisters injured by these assaults and share their pain and fear. This is unaccetable. Our expectation is for Vassar to lead nationally to stem the growing tide of unanswered hate speech and bigotry, to find ways to promote constructive and meaningful engagement and dialogue, and to move humanity forward, not backward. This is Vassar's opportunity to make its position clear, demonstrate national neadership, and take a stand. We are waiting...

Those of us whose liberal, democratic values were shaped at Vassar are always sensitive to the plight of oppressed peoples. And that includes any done wrong by a state actor.
But when that criticism morphs into A. denying Israel's right to exist and B. pure anti-semitism which, among other things, links everyone Jewish and every expression of Jewishness with particular policies and actions of the Israeli government, then those allegedly acting FOR social justice become EXACTLY what they are criticizing. It is a point where extremes of left and right can be seen on spectrum which is a circle and not a line- ie they are close to each other amd presumed liberalism starts to sound like fascism. An institution that not allows this on campus, but in some cases is part and parcel of it is not the Vassar from which I graduated- and not one I would recommend to prospective students or their parents.
And this is not to mention the moral equivalency 'perpetrated' on the Jewish state as though its sins (like being a democracy) are worse than the barbarism of its neighbors.

An academic community as prestigious as Vassar College is obligated to denounce such uncivilized promotion of hatred and prejudice, and should rather be a model of acceptance,respect, and diversity.
