I trust I was not the only Greenfield Recorder reader who was taken aback by the headline on the May 1 front page (“Antisemitic incidents remain up”) accompanied by a photograph of a pro-Palestinian encampment at Emerson College. Conflating these students’ actions with antisemitism is precisely what the Trump administration wants, but it is not the truth. People like RumaysaOsturk, Mahmoud Khalil, and Mohsen Mahdawi who express concern over Israel’s ongoing violence against Palestinian civilians are not antisemites. This regrettable placement of the photo and that headline warrants a correction by the paper or at least a commitment to do better in the future.
