Rebecca Pierce, Fourth-year, Merrill, Film and Digital Media: “As a Jewish person I would see it as hatred directed at Jewish people. Policies that target Jews for discrimination.”
Oren Gotesman, Third-year, College Eight, Politics: “Zionism is a big part of my Jewish identity. Without it, I wouldn’t be Jewish ... If Zionism and having to honor the memory of the Holocaust were not a part of Judaism, I’d be an atheist. So it’s complicated, and I haven’t worked it out yet. ”
