Reposted by People for Peace, London, OntarioDerek Silva @derekcrim.bsky.social · 30/09/20267/9 Antisemitism is real and students absolutely deserve protection – yet weaponizing a fundamentally flawed study doesn’t keep anyone safe.

Reposted by People for Peace, London, OntarioDerek Silva @derekcrim.bsky.social · 30/09/20266/9 This exposes a massive problem around what we call construct validity. The survey instrument collapses Jews, Judaism, Israel, and Zionism into a single monolithic category. It makes separating actual bigotry from political critique of a foreign state analytically impossible. 1165
Reposted by People for Peace, London, OntarioDerek Silva @derekcrim.bsky.social · 30/09/20265/9 The report claims 95.7% of respondents experienced or witnessed antisemitism. Predictably, media repeated this ad nauseum. But the authors buried a crucial finding. 92% of students who said Zionism was not important to them reported their campus was safe and inclusive. 1186
