    During Sukkot, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the harvest, members of the anti-Zionist organization Jewish Voice for Peace set up “solidarity sukkahs” at about 20 schools including Northwestern and the University of California, Los Angeles. The sukkahs, or huts, commemorate the structures the Israelites lived in while wandering in the desert for 40 years and are often decorated with gourds, fruit and lights. JVP members added signs saying “Stop Arming Israel.”

    The sukkahs were removed at nine universities, according to JVP, with administrators citing new rules prohibiting unauthorized structures.

    Oh my, maybe it wasn’t about antisemitism all along then? Who woulda thunk! Where is the troll outrage at antisemitism when sukkahs are dismantled during Sukkot?
