Rutgers University chancellor, provost apologize after speaking out against increase in anti-Semitism .
I read the title four times to make sure I was reading it correctly for the article. Yep, I didn't misread it, that what it says.

We had blacked out profile pictures for BLM (a made up cause), then everyone changed their profile pics to #StopAsianHate, until they realized it was mostly black people attacking Asians, not their sacred cows the white supremacists. Not once have I seen any #StopJewishHate hashtags or profile pictures and you won't. The reason you won't are the people attacking the Jews are rich liberal elites, Muslims, and black people, so the hate and violence is acceptable.

It sickens me to see any group or individual attacked in the streets for their color, religion, sexual orientation, or political beliefs. It sickens me even more when it's dismissed because they are just Jews and deserve it.

The chancellor and provost of a satellite campus of Rutgers University apologized for an email they sent out condemning anti-Semitism as the U.S. sees a dramatic rise in anti-Jewish hate crimes.

On Wednesday, Rutgers University-New Brunswick chancellor Christopher Molloy and provost Francine Conway sent an email to the student body condemning the recent rise in anti-Semitism America is experiencing amid the conflict between Israel and the terror organization Hamas.

A day later, the college leaders apologized for condemning anti-Semitism.

Molloy and Conway sent a separate email, titled "An Apology," on Thursday to "sincerely" apologize for their first email condemning anti-Semitism.

The administrators said the "intent" of the initial email was to "affirm that Rutgers–New Brunswick is a place where all identities can feel validated and supported" but added that the "impact" of the communication "fell short of that intention."

"In hindsight, it is clear to us that the message failed to communicate support for our Palestinian community members," the email read.

Molloy and Conway wrote the university was "enriched by our vibrant diversity" and that "diversity must be supported by equity, inclusion, antiracism, and the condemnation of all forms of bigotry and hatred, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia."

"As we grow in our personal and institutional understanding, we will take the lesson learned here to heart, and pledge our commitment to doing better," the email said. "We will work to regain your trust, and make sure that our communications going forward are much more sensitive and balanced."

The administrators ended the email by saying they hoped to "learn" from the "mistakes along the way" as they continued to make a "beloved community" at the university.

The initial email called to denounce the "acts of hate and prejudice" against Jewish people and "any other targeted and oppressed groups on our campus and in our community" as the country sees a "recent resurgence of anti-Semitism."

The email also instructed students who have experienced anti-Semitism to reach out to the school support services and said the university was "working in close partnership with leaders of the Rutgers Jewish community" to address student needs.

According to the Rutgers Hillel -- a Jewish advocacy organization – the main university campus has 6,400 Jewish undergraduate students and is the "largest Jewish undergraduate population in the country."

Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., weighed in on the news, asking "how can someone this weak lead a university?"

The email comes as the U.S. sees a massive spike in hate crimes against Jewish people from New York to Los Angeles.

Earlier this week, the Holocaust museum in St. Petersburg, Fla., was defaced by anti-Semitic graffiti, angering the Jewish community and Holocaust survivors.

Rutgers University-New Brunswick declined to comment on the administrators' email.

That sums it up perfectly for me. What a bunch of weak people. There was nothing wrong with the initial email and they should not have backed down.

Yeah, backpedaling that fast, they probably got whiplash.

But, without a spine, would whiplash actually hurt?

The JINOs will continue to do so. Yup.

This country is currently plagued with both mental illness and unsurpassed cowardice. Anyone with this level of cowardice has no business in charge of anything. Yet another example why a college education is slightly less than worthless today.

I'm almost certainly grasping at straws here, but was anyone actually doing anything to Palestinians or Palestinian Americans at Rutgers-New Brunswick? If not, then it's blind kowtowing that renders their expression of concern about antiSemitism more or less meaningless.

Ahem, just pointing out, for Christians, that Jesus was a Jew. As were every single one of his disciples.

The Left hates religion, they view it as an infantile exercise. Meanwhile, they also conflate 'certain religions' with race Roll Eyes

And Jews are from the Middle East, which means they are "brown" people. They did not come from Europe. Sure some migrated to Europe and mixed into the society, and then migrated here, but they are still Middle Easterners originally.

Because their ideology is their religion, and nothing is allowed to compete with it.

The majority of people they accept are anyone that isn't a white male. It's like a 3rd world shithole on Easton Ave these days.

I'm a half-Irish former redhead, kinda pinky-brown with hard-wearing brown dots. I don't look anything like a stereotypical Semite.

I wonder what would happen if those 6400 Jewish students left Rutgers for a different university.

I guess I was kind of lucky that I could not afford to go to college as a full-time student. My father died when I was very young; he left me enough to barely pay for my first year.

After that, I worked full time and took evening classes. Took a while to earn the BS degree, but the bright side of that coin was that everybody taking evening classes was there to actually learn, not to socialize, not to party, not to screw around.

I probably got a better quality education by doing it the way that I did.

Not to divert too far from the OP but after reading that you'd get the impression that everyone hates everyone in the U.S.
