It is refreshing to see your posts. We may agree or disagree with positions but at least you show a strong willingness and example in genuine engagement. It is important that you identify that the “standard narrative of Jewish victimhood, which clearly no longer applies in today’s Middle East, and is consistently touted in hasbara material from Israel advocacy…has become an unacceptable form of pro-Israel activism on campus.” It is good you have “tried to limit [it] in AUJS last year because, as Simone noted, it’s detrimental to the pro-Israel cause on campus”. Although I would phrase it as ‘detrimental to the pro-Palestine and Israel/pro-peace cause’.
