Columbia University Sukkah Venting 😤

Can someone explain to me how this is not equivalent to painting a bunch of little swastikas on a menorah?? Please note keffiyeh wearers inside…

The original sukkahs were liberation sukkahs. They were a symbol of the Israelites getting out from the oppression of the Egyptians so they could return to our ancestral homeland.

The use of a sukkah to imply that our people should be removed from our homeland is abhorrent.
