Letter To Students For Justice In Palestine From An Angry Black Woman

Undergrad student at the University of New Orleans ChloƩ Simone Valdary, who also happens to be a Christian Zionist and black, has written an open letter to the Students for Justice in Palestine telling them to stop hijacking the black people's struggle.

The student organization Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is prominent on many college campuses, preaching a mantra of “Freeing Palestine.” It masquerades as though it were a civil rights group when it is not. Indeed, as an African-American, I am highly insulted that my people’s legacy is being pilfered for such a repugnant agenda. It is thus high time to expose its agenda and lay bare some of the fallacies they peddle.

• If you seek to promulgate the legacy of early Islamic colonialists who raped and pillaged the Middle East, subjugated the indigenous peoples living in the region, and foisted upon them a life of persecution and degradation—you do not get to claim the title of “Freedom Fighter.”

• If you support a racist doctrine of Arab supremacism and wish (as a corollary of that doctrine) to destroy the Jewish state, you do not get to claim that the prejudices you peddle are forms of legitimate “resistance.”

• If your heroes are clerics who sit in Gaza plotting the genocide of a people; who place their children on rooftops in the hopes they will get blown to bits; who heap praises upon their fellow gang members when they succeed in murdering Jewish school boys and bombing places of activity where Jews congregate—you do not get to claim that you are some Apollonian advocate of human virtue. You are not.

• If your activities include grieving over the woefully incompetent performance by Hamas rocketeers and the subsequent millions of Jewish souls who are still alive—whose children were not murdered by their rockets; whose limbs were not torn from them; and whose disembowelment did not come into fruition—you do not get to claim that you stand for justice. You profess to be irreproachable. You are categorically not.
The rest here.

She's got quite a voice and it's worth a read. You might be surprised at which famous black people were Zionists, at least according to Ms Valdary.

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.

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.
