		<description><![CDATA[A torrent of anti-Semitism follows the university's suspension of Students for Justice in Palestine. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/55.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-222668" alt="55" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/55-450x343.png" width="284" height="216" /></a>Two weeks ago in Boston, Northeastern University suspended a student group &#8212; Students for Justice in Palestine (NU SJP) &#8211; for an assortment of infractions against Jewish students and those who support Israel. The stunts that got them suspended were consistent with the strategy of anti-Israel forces at universities around the country: Campus enemies of Israel directly target the free speech of pro-Israel student groups by having their speakers disinvited, their members </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://freebeacon.com/issues/pro-israel-students-called-kike-dirty-jew-at-university-of-michigan/">intimidated</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, and their events </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/vassar-and-the-bds-war-on-campus/2014/03/27/">shouted down</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.  So it is with a fair amount of gall that SJP has now launched a shrill campaign, aided by Massachusetts media, claiming that free speech is a value they cherish and that theirs has been abrogated by the University.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The reason this duplicitous campaign has gotten a warm response in some circles has to do with a double standard in academia and the media. When it comes to certain protected groups, free speech is trumped by “sensitivity.” Two-thirds of universities have speech codes meant to provide a safe environment for minority groups. The use of certain offensive words is forbidden and the use of certain offensive symbols can shut down a campus. However, these protections hypocritically do not extend to pro-Israel Jews. </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Anti-Semitism is defined as treating Jews as you would treat no others. SJP attacks the only Jewish state. It does not deny post-WWII Germans or genocidal Sudanese or Rwandans their right to self-rule. Only the Jewish people may not have a state. SJP is an anti-Semitic organization and anti-Semitism is the only hatred still accepted on American campuses.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">On February 16</span><sup style="line-height: 1.5em;">th</sup><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, members of a Mississippi State University student group </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/students-wanted-desecrating-university-mississippi-statue-article-1.1664367">vandalized</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> the statue of Ole Miss’s first black alumnus with a noose and a Confederate-type flag. Campus police posted a $25,000 reward for finding the suspects, the three students were caught and the FBI is planning to charge them with hate crimes. Their student group was suspended. The students’ actions were widely covered and roundly condemned in the national media.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_222566" style="width: 325px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unnamed.png"><img class=" wp-image-222566" alt="unnamed" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unnamed-450x345.png" width="315" height="241" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tori Porell&#8217;s &#8220;favorite thing ever.&#8221;</p></div>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Among the infractions that got Northeastern SJP suspended was vandalizing the statue of a Jewish alumnus twice in two days by taping over the statue’s mouth with the message: “Zionism = Racism” superimposed over a Jewish star.  Upon seeing a photo of the vandalism posted to Facebook, the group’s president, Tori Porell, commented, “This is my favorite thing ever.”</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> National and local media also covered the act of racist vandalism at Northeastern and SJP’s suspension, but in this case, media sympathy (</span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2014/03/28/crossed-lines-protest-and-free-speech-northeastern/PrRFtt0WUHCiZoBEcDGtDI/story.html">led by the Boston Globe</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, of course) was not for the victimized minority group, but for the punished victimizer’s supposed loss of “free speech.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In the current campus climate, ‘free speech” arguments are typically invoked on behalf of those who offend and intimidate Jews, Christians and conservatives. When NU SJP </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Dv_PcP4aU">marched</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> across campus a little over a year ago shouting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” &#8212; a genocidal call for the destruction of the only Jewish state, nothing was done in response. In contrast, when Yale’s Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity members marched across campus in 2010 shouting, “No means yes, yes means anal,” Yale </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://bigthink.com/focal-point/no-means-yes-yes-means-anal-frat-banned-from-yale">suspended</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> the frat for 5 years and the US Department of Education forced the university to institute greater protections for female students.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">When Arizona State University’s Tau Kappa Epsilon posted pictures of themselves at an MLK party this past January dressed in urban street clothes and sipping alcohol from watermelon cups, the university immediately </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2014/01/21/Arizona-State-University-frat-suspended-after-using-watermelon-cups-during-MLK-Day-party/3771390327283/">suspended</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> the chapter.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yet SJP leaders have posted photos of themselves posing with terrorists’ machine guns. They come to protests wearing t-shirts glorifying gun violence and designated terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. These terrorist groups explicitly call for the murder of all Jews and have murdered hundreds of Israelis (and in the case of Hezbollah, Americans as well). Yet nothing has been done to sanction these particular Northeastern University students.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The offense that finally earned SJP its suspension was what Northeastern terms “dorm storming” in the student conduct list of don’ts.  They entered student dorms in the middle of the night and slipped fake eviction notices under bedroom doors telling students that they are being kicked out for no reason, because that’s exactly what Israel does to the Palestinians. Even the ACLU considers the violation of privacy with the intent to intimidate and single out students to be outside the bounds of free speech at universities. In 2013, three San Jose State University students were </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_24566367/san-jose-state-students-charged-hate-crime">charged with hate crimes</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> for writing racial slurs on a black student’s dorm room message board. Nobody would dare call that “free speech.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Indeed, SJP’s message wasn’t meant for the uninvolved student, who will maybe take a half second look at the piece of paper before throwing it away. This action was aimed directly at Jewish pro-Israel students. The clear message was:  “We who hate you can reach you at the very door to your room. We can come back again. And we will try to make others hate you as we do.”</span></p>
<div id="attachment_222567" style="width: 325px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unnamed.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-222567" alt="unnamed" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unnamed-450x337.jpg" width="315" height="236" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">NU SJP protest against free speech for pro-Israel students.</p></div>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">While demanding freedom of speech for themselves, SJP and its supporters are perfectly happy to suppress the free speech of pro-Israel Jews. An SJP violation that contributed to its suspension was the disruption of a Holocaust Awareness Week event put on by Huskies for Israel in 2013. In this case, NU SJP actively plotted to violate the free speech rights of Jewish students. SJP sent an email to its members calling for a “creative disruption” of the event. The goal: “we need to show them that war criminals are NOT welcome at Northeastern,” emphasis theirs. At the event, SJP members </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppCV6EHksK0">chanted slogans</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> en-masse and disrupted the free speech of the speakers. </span><b style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br />
</b></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Speaking to an SJP meeting in 2013, SJP faculty advisor M. Shahid Alam </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://youtu.be/mUS2XAGq4Bg">bragged</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> how he has made pro-Israel students in his classes afraid to argue with his anti-Israel lectures, “because they can sense that they will get no support from the class.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Northeastern Law School’s chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, which is closely affiliated with SJP, has put out a </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://mondoweiss.net/2014/03/northeastern-concerned-influenced.html">poorly-argued legal brief</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> about supposed violations of SJP’s free speech rights. Yet the brief demands the suppression of free speech rights for Zionist groups like Americans for Peace and Tolerance:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">At the same time, it is important that groups such as ZOA and APT not be allowed to marginalize politically oppressed student groups through hate speech. To that end, we ask the University to adopt a more comprehensive hate speech policy that provides for transformative justice, anti-oppression training and, at the prerogative of the victim, disciplinary action.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">(Stalin must be smiling in his grave.)</span></p>
<div id="attachment_222568" style="width: 282px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unnamed2.png"><img class=" wp-image-222568" alt="unnamed2" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/unnamed2-389x350.png" width="272" height="245" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Anti-Semitic cartoon posted by NU SJP.</p></div>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The National Lawyers Guild even invoked a standard anti-Semitic smear, claiming that Northeastern has bowed to pressure from wealthy Jewish donors when it suspended SJP. </span><b style="line-height: 1.5em;"></b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">(“No free speech for rich Jews!”) This was echoed by NBC News “journalist” Nona Aronowitz, who interviewed us, NEU’s Hillel director and pro-Israel students and then simply ignored in her “</span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/pro-palestinian-students-charge-universities-censorship-n58896">report</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">” every one of our points which did not fit her preconceived narrative.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">On March 19</span><sup style="line-height: 1.5em;">th</sup><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, as Northeastern SJP held a rally demanding that the university reinstate it, a Jewish student was watching. Here is his reaction:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I stood across the street and watched in complete awe as they shouted messages of hate, screamed how Zionism was racism, and that they were in no way being anti-Semitic. They continued with their chants of &#8220;from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.&#8221; When I hear that, I hear anti-Semitism, I hear a call for the complete destruction of the Jewish state and all that they call home.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I am what they call a member of the &#8220;Zionist war/propaganda machine,&#8221; and while I stood across the street and watched this rally, I kept a folded Israeli flag underneath my jacket. I kept on wanting to unfold it and hold it up high, but I was scared. I was afraid for one of the first times in my life as I heard their chants of anti-Semitism, full of hatred and shouting for intifada and increased violence. I was scared, but I am even more afraid of the idea of what happens when nothing is done, when nobody stands up.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">When it comes to women, blacks, Latinos and gays, hate speech that creates a “hostile campus environment” is punished. Their right to live hostility-free limits the free speech rights of those who hector them. Yet the right to hate and hector Jewish students, argue the mainstream media and the National Lawyers’ Guild, is “protected free speech.” </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Jewish students need our help. Brownshirt tactics cannot be tolerated even when masquerading as free speech or academic freedom.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It is about time that the only hatred still acceptable on college campuses – the hatred of Jews and the only Jewish state &#8211; is treated like all other hatreds. The entire Jewish community must publicly stand up and fight to protect our students.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Boston-Marathon-bombing-suspect-What-we-know-about-Dzhokhar-and-Tamerlan-Tsarnaev-so-far.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-187465" alt="Boston-Marathon-bombing-suspect-What-we-know-about-Dzhokhar-and-Tamerlan-Tsarnaev-so-far" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Boston-Marathon-bombing-suspect-What-we-know-about-Dzhokhar-and-Tamerlan-Tsarnaev-so-far-450x346.jpg" width="189" height="145" /></a>Reprinted from <a href="http://peaceandtolerance.org/">PeaceandTolerance.org</a>.</strong></p>
<p>“This is alarming, but I’d need to see a smoking gun.” That’s what a Boston Rabbi said after we’d spent an hour in his office walking him through mounds of evidence that linked the leaders of the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) to terrorism and hate speech against Jews and Christians. He wouldn’t speak publicly about the radical leadership of the ISB mosque, he explained, for fear of giving offense, for fear of breaking with a certain understanding about these things, for fear of being labeled a bigot.</p>
<p>For 10 years, this reluctance to speak honestly about the radicalization of the once-moderate Boston Muslim community has epitomized the thinking of many civic leaders in Boston.</p>
<p>We don’t know yet how the two Chechen terrorists became radical Islamists, but their uncle has said they had local “mentors.” The bombs that went off at the Boston Marathon and the subsequent news that the terrorist brothers attended the ISB mosque in Cambridge – which was only blocks from their apartment – should shatter this kind of thinking.</p>
<p>Here is some of what we know, much of which we’ve been telling Boston leaders for the past decade:</p>
<p>Elected officials including Boston Mayor Thomas Menino (forefront) and Gov. Deval Patrick (back row, center), seen here following last week’ Boston Marathon bombings, have been largely silent as radicals took over the once- moderate Boston Muslim community.</p>
<p>The problem is the radicalization of Boston’s historically moderate Muslim community. The ISB mosque is operated by the Muslim American Society (MAS), which has been identified by federal prosecutors as the American front for the Muslim Brotherhood. The ISB was founded by Abdurahman Alamoudi, who is currently serving a 23- year prison sentence for raising funds for al-Qaida. Alamoudi has publicly exclaimed his support for Hamas and Hezbollah.</p>
<p>According to IRS records, one of the ISB’s original trustees was Yusuf Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, who said in a 1995 speech that Islam would “conquer America” and “conquer Europe.” Qaradawi can be seen on YouTube urging Muslims to kill homosexuals and slaughter Jews.</p>
<p>The ISB mosque’s website contained instructions on how to beat one’s wife.</p>
<p>According to FBI surveillance documents, Suhaib Webb, the Imam of the ISB’s Roxbury campus, joined al-Qaida operative Anwar Awlaki (killed by a U.S drone strike in 2011) two days before the Sept. 11 attacks in headlining a fundraiser on behalf of Atlanta Islamic extremist H. Rap Brown, who had just murdered two police officers in Georgia. Brown had converted to Islam and taken the name Jamil al-Amin. That night, Webb and Awlaki raised $100,000 to pay for Brown’s defense. Brown was found guilty of the murders. Awlaki went on to become the leader of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and was assassinated by a U.S. drone strike in 2011 in Yemen. It was Awlaki who published al-Qaida’s Inspire magazine, which explained how to make the pressure-cooker bomb used by the Boston Marathon bombers to wreak their murderous mayhem. Awlaki urged American Muslims to attack soft targets and crowded sporting events.</p>
<p>We have obtained a Muslim Brotherhood indoctrination curriculum taught by the MAS and endorsed by Imam Suhaib Webb for indoctrination of Boston’s young Muslims. The curriculum teaches vicious hatred and calls for young Muslims to engage in Jihad against non-Muslims in order to establish a global Islamic state.</p>
<p>Above: President Barack Obama attends the April 18 interfaith service in Boston to remember the three spectators killed and scores wounded in the Boston Marathon bombings.</p>
<p>A Boston Imam who had been scheduled to attend was disinvited by Gov. Deval Patrick. Right: According to the FBI, a local Imam joined al-Qaida operative Anwar Awlaki (pictured) two days before the Sept. 11 attacks in headlining a fundraiser on behalf of Atlanta Islamic extremist H. Rap Brown. We have presented most of our findings to the Anti-Defamation League, New England Region (ADL); to the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston (JCRC) and Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) of Boston; to Boston Globe religion writer Lisa Wangsness, as well as that publication’s Spotlight Team; to City Councilor Mike Ross, then President of the council; and to many other religious, political, and civic leaders in Massachusetts. Until last week, all of the facts we garnered did not move those who clung to the belief that any criticism of any Muslim leader here was a sign of bigotry. In response to our concerns, we were publicly attacked as bigots by 70 Rabbis for criticizing one of their colleagues for publicly embracing a leader of the ISB.</p>
<p>For 10 years, Boston’s leaders went along with the politically correct flow. They kept silent as radicals took over the once-moderate Boston Muslim community. They failed to lead and failed to educate the public. They – including Mayor Thomas Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick – embraced the radical leadership of Boston’s Muslim community.</p>
<p>One of the positive results of our efforts: Both the JCRC and CJP broke off their dialogue with the ISB leaders. But they did it silently and never explained their reasons publicly to their constituents. They never educated Boston’s Jews – or anyone else – about the facts they had learned that convinced them that the ISB leaders were not the moderates they had pretended to be.</p>
<p>Now, after the April 15 bombings, there is some hope that just maybe things are starting to change. Webb was originally invited by Gov. Patrick to be part of an interfaith memorial vigil at the Holy Cross Cathedral for the victims of the Boston Marathon attack, at which President Barack Obama spoke. In a last-minute change of plans, the Imam was disinvited. Patrick should be commended.</p>
<p>The status quo must change and Boston’s other leaders must follow the Governor’s lead in disassociating themselves from radical Islamist institutions in the city. Political correctness has guided many of our leaders. If not abandoned, it may well become our own suicide belt.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/charles-jacobs-and-ilya-feoktistov/carter-at-cardozo-its-not-the-new-anti-semitism-its-the-older-kind/carter-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-185171"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-185171" title="carter" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/carter.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="300" /></a>The Yeshiva University’s Cardozo Law School is facing a fire storm of protest for honoring former President Jimmy Carter because of Carter’s animus towards Israel. But who they indeed may be about to honor is an old fashioned anti-Semite.</p>
<p>As decades-old tapes from his Church Sunday school lessons reveal, former President Jimmy Carter’s bias against the Jewish state may come more from an old fashioned Christian animus toward Judaism than from concerns over the situation of Palestinians. Carter taught Christian students in Plains Georgia that Judaism teaches Jews to feel superior to non-Jews, that Jewish religious practices are tricks to enhance wealth, and that current Israeli policy toward Palestinians is based on these “Jewish” values and practices.</p>
<p>In a series of sermons Carter recorded between 1999 and 2003 that were published as a CD set by Simon and Schuster called “Sunday Mornings in Plains,” Carter attacks modern Israel by retreading ancient anti-Semitic tropes that go back to the early church fathers and the Judaism/Christianity schism that gave birth to a millennia of Christian persecution of Jews.</p>
<p>(For a thorough discussion of the emergence and analysis of these tapes, see <a href="http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/236/is-bible-teacher-jimmy-carter-jew-hater">Phyllis Chesler</a>).</p>
<p>Here are salient examples:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">[1] Jews hate and feel superior to non-Jews</span>.</p>
<p>In the tapes, one hears &#8212; in Southern drawl &#8212; his ancient animus: Jews hate non-Jews.:</p>
<p>“…this morning I’m gonna be trying to relate the assigned Bible lesson to us in the Uniformed Series with how that affected Israel and how it affects us through Christ personally…  It’s hard for us to even visualize the prejudice against gentiles when Christ came on earth. If a Jew married a gentile, that person was considered to be dead. …  How would you characterize from a Jew’s point of view the uncircumcised? Non believer? And what? Unclean, what? They called them DOGS! That’s true.  … What was Paul’s feeling toward gentiles in his early life as a Jewish leader? [Paul was not a Jewish leader. Ed.] Anybody? Absolute commitment to persecution! To the imprisonment and even the execution of non-Jews who now professed faith in Jesus Christ. …  … We know the differences in the Middle East. But the differences there are between Jews on the one hand who comprise the dominating force both militarily and also politically and the Palestinians who are both Muslim and Christians. …”</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">[2] Jewish ritual sacrifice is a dodge that relieves one from taking care of one’s parents, while preserving one’s wealth</span>:</p>
<p>“Corban was a uh prayer that could be performed by usually a man in an endorsed ceremony by the Pharisees that you could say in effect, ‘God, everything that I own all these sheep all these goats this nice house and the money that I have, I dedicate to you, to God.’ And from then on according to the Pharisees law those riches didn’t belong to that person anymore. They were whose? God’s! So as long as those riches were belonged to the person, that person was supposed to share them with needy parents right? But once it was God’s it wasn’t theirs and they didn’t have anything to share with their parents. So with impunity, and approved by the Pharisaic law, they could avoid taking care of their needy parents by a trick that had been evolved by the incorrect and improper interpretation of the law primarily designed by religious leaders to benefit whom? The rich folks! The powerful people! Because the poor man wouldn’t have all of this stuff to give to God. He would probably, in fact he might very well have his parents in the house with him or still be living with his own parents.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">[3] Carter ties this Jewish feelings of superiority and religious malevolence to current Israeli policy</span>:</p>
<p>“One reason is that the Israeli government headed now by Netanyahu has to depend on the ultra-right or fundamentalist Jews to give them a majority in the parliament which they call the Knesset, and the recent resignation of foreign minister Levy has left Netanyahu with only one vote margin in the parliament. So the ultra-conservative Jewish leaders demand always that they have total control over anything that relates to religion inside Israel, in particular in Jerusalem. Well, I’m not here to condemn anyone but to point out that even within ourselves, there is an inclination for, I’d say, a feeling of superiority. Wouldn’t you think so? Would you agree? I know I have it.”</p>
<p>Carter’s beef with the Jews is not simply a disagreement over how Israel should treat the Palestinians. His is a deep theological hatred of the type that most Christians (including the Vatican in the 1960s Nostra Aetate) have long disavowed. This is not the “new anti-Semitism: it’s the old. All the more indefensible for an orthodox Jewish religious institution to give this man an award.</p>
