To paraphrase Jean-Paul Sartre, antisemites enjoy accusing Jews of theft to make them empty their pockets to prove their honesty.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a humiliation ritual.<\/p>\n
Whoever raised the Hakenkreuz at NYU wasn\u2019t making some humanitarian gesture about suffering Gazans. <\/p>\n
It was a gesture of hate, meant to make Jewish grads and their families feel scared and ashamed, with no right to celebrate.<\/p>\n
NYU must find the culprit or culprits and prosecute them openly. <\/p>\n
If they\u2019re students or graduates, expel them or revoke their diplomas.<\/p>\n
Normalizing bigotry leads straight to scapegoating and violence; civilized people must censure the haters.<\/p>\n
