Interview: Jewish academic Judith Butler is among 160 named in so-called “Antisemitism” Files Handed to Trump

"There is no good evidence that antisemitism is rampant on campus. To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do."

"Most Jews are against genocide... We were taught to be against genocide."

And we were taught that "never again" should apply to all people.

Judith Butler: Jewish Prof. Among 160 Named in UC Berkeley “Antisemitism” Files Handed to Trump Admin

The University of California, Berkeley has provided Trump officials with the names of at least 160 students, faculty and staff in cases of alleged antisemitism on campus, in response to the administration’s sweeping crackdown on Palestinian solidarity activism. The administration has already threatened to cut off federal funding from academic institutions and has targeted international students involved in the pro-Palestine movement. “There is no good evidence that antisemitism is rampant on campus,” says the philosopher Judith Butler, who teaches at UC Berkeley and whose name was among those shared with the Trump administration. “To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do. Most Jews are against genocide, and we were taught to be against genocide, and we were taught, as well, that 'never again' is a slogan that should apply to all people.”
