I’ll tell you what didn’t radicalize me, but rather what pulled me out of radicalism: when I wrote an account in the biggest newspaper in the country of the multiple antisemitic things I had experienced on my college campus and not one professor or administrator reached out to have a conversation about it but several weeks later when a member of Jewish Voice for Peace spread a lie that I had a called her fat (which I did not) I had to go to a Diversity,Equity, and Inclusion meeting to be lectured on sensitivity. The absurdity and abject hypocrisy of those few weeks continue to play in my head on loop.
