A little off topic, but I just read daily wire article about American universities supporting Hamas. My city is home to what is considered “the most antisemitic campus in the USA”; SF State. I wonder if the pro-Palestinian support is connected to Equity DEI “sympathy for brown people” + censorship that silences the pro-Israel voices.

I think you’re on to something. When color is one’s primary moral metric, it can get one into some uncomfortable moral situations. That many are oblivious to this, speaks to their ignorance or hatefulness.
Hmmm. In thinking about your comment something occurred to me. I’m going to take this even more off topic.
It appears to me that progressives adhere to a set of ‘truths’. One being, roughly put, light skinned people oppress darker skinned people. That is not a principle. It’s not a moral rubric that can help one navigate through grey areas. It’s boolean: light skin = oppressors; dark skin = oppressed.
Once you buy into the ‘truth’ you have to do mental gymnastics when confronted with things like 10/7. In my opinion, it can lead one to become the very thing they profess to hate.
