The night the Cornell Undergraduate Student Assembly took up Resolutions 55 and 61, that tension reached a boiling point. I do not speak for a multitude, but as one of few Jewish students who actually showed up to the Student Assembly meeting. On a campus with thousands of Jewish students, our absence from these proceedings is a symptom of widespread fear and a campus culture that socially excommunicates any dissident. Instead, the Student Assembly parrots the ‘genocide’ narrative without engaging with the legal or factual complexity of the claim. Cornell students have won the ‘academic super lottery,’ yet they choose to bite the hand that feeds them.
