Hillarys Alma Marta where she spoke in her Commencement speech in 1969 about our human rights.

Sad to see how far the school has sunk.

It's not really a Nazi thing. There's a difference. I feel very often Palestinians are militant and tone deaf, but I doubt if they support Hitler.

There appears to be an Arab on the editorial board. SJP is Student Justice for Palestine

...your typical rightwing Nazi types.

Of course, when it comes to antisemitism, there is sometimes a Horseshoe Effect going on between the far left and your usual bigots on the right.

My dad had a fit, "Stay away from them".

I really didn't support them as much as they supported us...(Armenians)

40 years later, the beautiful ancient Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem is a shell of it's former self. It's very sad what the Israelis have done to Christians over there. Muslims have it worse. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/armenian-quarter-of-jerusalem
