This problem has been brewing for some time at Stanford, and in the disturbing world of "woke" leftism that has overtaken academia. Jews are fair game, with no natural allies. They are caught in between the cowed, weak, and craven white progressives, and the angry, self-righteous, vindictive "BIPOC" power group. Jew hatred is almost a right of passage in the moral void of the viciously racist "anti-racist" world of the university. Until good liberals find the courage to stand up and defend their Jewish friends, we're going to see open warfare, with Jews as the fodder . . .

Reading Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility without reading Thomas Sowell's Discrimination and Disparities and Jonathan Church's Reinventing Racism leads to indoctrination rather than to critical analysis. For instance, the concept of white fragility sets up exactly a power hierarchy in favor of PoC over whites that DiAngelo claims exists in favor of whites over PoC due to linguistic patterns.

@Raymond - thanks. Reading Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility - got me woke to How White People (even social progressives) internalize their privaleged Over Black People. This book and it's author is very Narrow however - let me say Black and White! The book is a very narrow construct for me, in California, where Mexican-American/Chicano ('60s)/Hispanic-Latino is the overwhelming distressed minority. Asians (SouthEast particularly) are the clearly the second most distressed minority in Bay Area ALONG with Blacks.
But Blacks continue to be the most historically oppressed minority in the USA even post-slavery and post-Jim Crow. It is a shame that the historic legal support of Jews for /Black/ civil rights (Jews fought hard for both themselves and Blacks) has been discounted in recent years.
There are many dreams we walk through in life - awakening from One is not necessarily the same as awakening from All.
