Pro-Palestinian NYU Group Slips Fake Eviction Notices Under Dorm Room Doors

A pro-Palestinian New York University organization took their fight to the New York University dorms.  Around 2000 undergrad students found fake "eviction notices" under their dorm room doors with the following notice:

"We regret to inform you that your suite is scheduled for demolition in three days." 

"If you do not vacate the premise by midnight on 25 April, 2014, we reserve the right to destroy all remaining belongings. Charges for demolition will be applied to your student accounts."

Although Students for Justice in Palestine placed "This is not a real eviction notice" at the bottom of the flyer, and they were slipped into dorm rooms of both Jews and non Jews alike, it had the Jewish students particularly fearful.

"It's an attack on the Jewish community," said sophomore Laura Adkins, 19, a pro-Israel activist. "It's specifically targeting Jewish students, which makes them feel not so safe."

"People are fearful," she said. "Parents of prospective students have called me asking, 'Is my student safe going to NYU?' "

Not a peep from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.  You know there would be hell to pay if someone had slipped a flyer about Muslim terrorism under the doors of the NYU grads.

However, this isn't the first time pro-Pali student groups have done this.  They pulled a similar stunt at Florida Atlantic University, in Boca Raton, Florida a few years back.

Anti-Israel Muslim Student Activist Appointed To UC Berkeley Board

The University of California at Berkeley (UCB) is having a similar share of controversy as Florida Atlantic University (FAU).  FAU recently bestowed a prestigious award upon anti-Semite, pro-Palestinian activist Noor Fawzy, now UCB is getting flak for appointing 21-year-old Sadia Saifuddin to the governing board as a student member for a one year term beginning in 2014. Like Fawzy, Sadia has been active in anti-Israel campaigns. She will be the first Muslim to serve as a student member, but there are some who are not very happy with this decision- not so much because she is a Muslim, but rather because of her polarizing activities.

Jewish groups including the prominent Simon Wiesenthal Center strongly objected to her nomination, citing her involvement in a campaign to divest university funds from companies with business connections to the Israeli military.

They also objected to her sponsoring a student senate resolution that condemned a lecturer at the system’s Santa Cruz campus for what the resolution said was Islamophobic rhetoric. The groups said it was Saifuddin who showed an intolerance toward opposing viewpoints.

“In a year where campus climate issues have been the dominant theme of the UC system, a vote to appoint somebody who has served to polarize thousands and thousands of people in the campus community and beyond is shocking,” said Rabbi Aron Hierof the Wiesenthal Center, which petitioned the regents to deny Saifuddin a seat on the board.

“An appropriate Muslim candidate could have ably served in this position. We don’t believe Sadia is that appropriate candidate,” he added.

Despite the opposition, 25 university regents voted on Wednesday to confirm her appointment with one member, Richard Blum, abstaining from the vote. He cited concerns about Saifuddin’s divestment efforts.

But not all Jews objected to her selection. Regent Bonnie Reiss, the chair of the student regent selection committee, said:

“Sadia is a remarkable young woman. She is committed to supporting all of UC students, and to this university and this country which she loves."

Reiss does not believe Sadia is anti-Semitic in spite of her divestment efforts.

Of course Ibrahim Hooper, of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), had to pipe in calling the critics Islamophobes.

“Anytime an American Muslim rises to a prominent position, or starts to rise to prominence, that tiny minority of ‘Islamophobes’ in our society goes into action and seeks to marginalize and disenfranchise that individual,” Hooper said.

Typical.

More Anti-Semitism At Florida Atlantic University- Noor Fawzy Gets Prestigious Award

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, has been party to some major controversies recently- from the "Jesus-stomping" incident, to anti-Semitic activities, to professor James Tracey's loony conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon bombing, to naming the stadium after the for-profit prison corporation GEO Group, which fell through after major protests.
President Mary Jane Saunders was even forced to step down after all the flak. We can now add one more to the bucket full of missteps: honoring the leader of Students for Justice in Palestine, Noor Fawzy, with the very prestigious 2013 Wimberly award. Only one student receives the award per year.

Political Science Major Noor Fawzy received FAU’s 2013 Stan and Renee Wimberly Scholar award, the most prestigious student academic prize given by the university. It is awarded in recognition of outstanding academic achievement, along with evidence of leadership, campus involvement and community service.

Way to go, FAU.

Video Exposes Florida University (FAU) Anti-Semitic Extremism

In response to the rampant  anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activity on the campus of Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, Alan Bergstein (in association with Tom Trento's The United West) has put together a video exposing the extremist activities of the Students for Justice In Palestine (SJP). What irks Bergstein the most is that FAU has failed to condemn SJP's activities (including posting mock eviction notices on dorm rooms last year), while at the same time acknowledging that SJP has the right to do so. Freedom of speech, and all that.

The video is meant to persuade potential students and donors that they might want to choose another university to either attend or donate to.  Naturally, there are many who are outraged by this video, but - freedom of speech, and all that.
