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.

More here.

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.

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.

FAU Professor James Tracy- Boston Bombing A "Mass-Casualty Drill" Like Sandy Hook

So, I've been wondering what the nutjob conspiracy theorists might come up with for a good reason the Boston Marathon Bombing could be classified as a "False Flag event." They've all been talking about it, but no-one had elaborated on what exactly might prompt the government (or other nefarious, covert organization) to kill innocents. Sandy Hook and all the other recent gun massacres- including Aurora - were blamed on the government's aim at de-arming the American people. But in Boston it was several bombs placed in pressure cookers, not a bunch of assault rifles.

So what was it?  FAU professor James Tracy, that same fool who questioned the Sandy Hook massacre, has the same ludicrous ideas for what happened in Boston, and he shares those with us on his personal blog 'Memory Hole'. A tenured associate professor of communications- so they can't fire him- believes that this was a "mass-casualty drill, which for training purposes are designed to be as lifelike as possible" using crisis actors, and yes they do exist. He doesn't even think that the bombs or injuries were real.

And the reason:

The upshot will be a continued program of more intensified repression at taxpayer expense alongside a corresponding erosion of civil liberties. All the while, future terror-inducing events magnified through the corporate news media’s falsifying prism reinforce our cursed tendency to welcome the illusion—to define first, and then see.
It's interesting to note that most of these false-flag event conspiracy theorists happen to be Ron Paul devotees, although I'm not sure if Tracy is or not.

After the Jesus-stomping incident, by another FAU professor, and the claims of anti-Semitism on campus, the university is going to have to pay students to attend.

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.
