Please. It’s always the privileged class that decides the agenda, that decides who is “white”, that sets norms, that cements its hegemony through such theatrics. Nothing is new under the sun.

Is there any way to purchase any cabron offsets to save the environment from these theatrics?

I think it would have helped (and hopefully people will read this now) to add that he specifically is talking about his heritage when it comes to defending the idea that being critical of Israel is not antisemitism.

Otherwise, I can absolutely see the "who cares who his ancestors were" argument being posted here.

Background:

In spring 2023, the three students who were enrolled in Ganz’s three-week class on organizing community action submitted a proposal to organize Israelis around a shared value of a “liberal-Jewish democracy.”

Ganz, however, told the students to “reframe” their project, calling the idea of a Jewish democracy “a contradiction” because democracies include multiple ethnic or religious groups, according to Ganz’s account of the events.

Ganz described the students’ project as “inflammatory” and said it distracted from the course’s main objective, which was to learn community organizing and not discuss Middle East affairs.

It's not "antisemitic" to want your damn students to stay on topic instead of making up random projects that don't match the brief.
