It was only a matter of time for the Left’s rhetoric to devolve from “punch a Nazi” to “Punch a Jew.”
In the name of fighting bigotry, our universities have turned their campuses into the streets of 1930’s Europe. Spotting the Jew is now becoming as common of a game as playing beer pong at a frat party.
Thus, it’s no surprise a gang of thugs pummeled a Jewish student outside the University of Michigan at around 1:00 am, Sunday morning.
“Are you Jewish?” a group of “unknown males” reportedly asked the 19 year old who was approached as he was walking outside the campus Jewish Resource Center. After replying “yes,” the thugs allegedly threw him to the ground, kicking and spitting on him.
Then, they fled.
“There is no place for hate or ethnic intimidation in the City of Ann Arbor,” their local Police Chief Andre Anderson responded in a statement.
“We are committed to vigorously investigating this and other hate-motivated incidents and will work with the County Prosecutor’s office to aggressively prosecute those who are responsible,” he added.
Anderson says he also communicated with the university’s campus police to “discuss safety” over the next few weeks. But given the administration’s track record of ignoring antisemitic harassment, he’s lucky if he gets anywhere with them.
Out of 75 recently reported complaints of antisemitic harassment on campus, the U.S. The Department of Education found that UMich had ignored most of them. One incident featured a pro-Hamas professor posting a photo of a student holding an Israeli flag to his Instagram page with the caption, “Did you like my educational talk?”
As of a day and a half after Sunday’s attack, the university seems to have no statement on its website or social media pages addressing it.
