Wow.

And, interestingly, I think what you said with the CCHR, training relates to the definition.
3:47:45
And as judge Littmann says in his report that for many Jewish people, you know, there is a relationship there.
3:47:53
There is an emotional relationship between Israel and Judaism, separate and again, separate and apart from the actions of an individual government.
3:48:03
And I I think even just people being trained and knowing that is an important element to this type of training.

And I just wanna add that while antisemitism is its own unique issue, which needs to be addressed directly and not hidden in larger conversations of constructive dialogue, Jews are not the only group that has been, experiencing title 6 violations.
3:48:26
And strengthening title 6 processes throughout CUNY will help all sorts of students, including, for example, Asian American students who in the wake of COVID have experienced increased title 6 violations on campus.

This benefits really, the entire student body.
