TSF is increasing the prevalence of antisemitism. Students have eyes, ears, and working brains and can observe no such degree of antisemitism as charged. (OTOH, there are some that are not critical thinkers). And instead of taking it out on TSF, their ire for loss of funds could easily be directed at Jews, as they would see them as the cause of the loss of funds.

And TSF is dividing Jews into "good Jews" and "bad Jews". The "good Jews" support TSF b/c of his support for Israel. The "bad" ones are those who don't endorse TSF. This creates an unnecessary and perhaps toxic schism between Jews.
