Anti-semitism is like accusations of racism and -phobia: baseless slander intent to obfuscate and divert from the issue at hand, creating meta-debates amounting to nothing and allowing the stress of it all to grind the Unperson down to nothing.
As I never tire of pointing out, in any conflict outside of games and plays, there is only one rule: win or die.
As for the students at Bonn, perhaps they should consider "Meine Ehre Heist Treue" as a slogan. (Sorry, don't know how to get the computer to write 'Es-Zett'.)
Oh, well, the students are the new shock troops of the establishment, for if they are 'activistic' enough, that means they might do well in the NGO world later on.
Well, anthropologically speaking, sure it'd be wonderful.
Personally, I do think crises bring out the best--and the worst--in humans, hence it's not 'merely' an exercise in observation but it's also going to be revelatory in terms of one's own behaviour.
As a father of young children, well, I could do without all that extra worry, but then again, life's like that: decisions, sacrifice, redemption.
Sadly not an isolated phenomenon. . Good piece here on Munich University's attempts to fire a communication studies professor for allegedly anti-constitutional behaviour:
"The LMU university management is calling in the state prosecutor's office to make an example of the critical communications scientist Michael Meyen. If this were to happen, it would be a brutal attack on academic freedom. In the TE [Tischy's Einblick] interview, Meyen explains why he considers the accusations against him to be abstruse."
"Kein Platz für Querdenken an der Uni Bonn"
Best advertisment for any university⸮ :D
Or, perhaps, the exact opposite.
Yeah I forgot the irony punctuation. Fixed

decades when nothing happens...
wouldn't it be nice to have been able to experience that, alas we live in that acient Chinese curse (may you live in interesting times!).
