Why don’t university “justice weeks” include anti-Semitism as an issue?

On February 21, 130 delegates from 40 countries took part in a British government-backed conference of the Inter-parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism (ICCA). On February 22 this coalition, also known as the London Conference on Combating Antisemitism, convened by a group whose majority was non-Jewish, issued a statement acknowledging that the scourge was at its highest level in recent memory.

And in answer to the question posed in the title of this post: because “justice week” everywhere is an exercise of the Left, and the Left can’t be bothered to say much about anti-Semitism, because then someone might think they support Israel.

Here’s a simple little experiment.  Do a google search for these terms: “social justice” (put it in quotes like this), university, and anti-Semitism. Your search entry should look like this:

     “social justice” university anti-Semitism

Compare the kinds of hits you get with this search string:

     “social justice” university racism

or just

     “social justice” university

I think the message is pretty clear that, to university planners of “justice” programs, anti-Semitism isn’t even an afterthought.
