He will be asked to set the tone and raise the bar for all of his teammates. “It’s the exciting part of a journey we started a long time ago,” Head Coach Jay Weiss said. “The new recruits are going to step right into the starting lineup and [the wrestlers on the team] will have to show them it’s doable.

It is important to remember that the extreme beliefs that Weiss and Finkelstein hold are no more legitimate because these men are Jewish. Rather, all sides should agree that such men, who further conspiracy theories, apologize for violence against civilians, and excuse calls for genocide, have no place on a campus interested in coexistence and mutual understanding.
