				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="body">
<p>I read with amazement <a href="http://thedp.com/index.php/article/2012/01/guest_column_bds_explained">the Guest Column by Penn <span class="caps">BDS</span> Conference organizers</a>, “<span class="caps">BDS</span> Explained”</p>
<p>I could barely believe my eyes. It is bad enough that Penn has  allowed itself to be associated with this hateful genocidal  organization, but for you to give room for their “explanation” and then  dignify this outpouring of misinformation and anti-Semitism to the level  of guest column without any kind of balancing opinion? Is this fair and  balanced journalism? Is this the <em>Daily Pennsylvanian</em> I was reading daily since I came here in 1974?</p>
<p>The “explanation” itself presents a fuzzy “anti-Israel” cloak that  barely conceals the Hamas and Hizballah daggers. It will deceive only  those who, knowing nothing of the history, cannot tell lies from truth,  or who, so blinded by animus against Israel and Jews, are willing to be  deceived.</p>
<p>The agenda of this group is totally negative and aimed at the only  Jewish state on the planet, scheming to inflict damage on it as an  alleged violator of human rights. No mention of most of the Arab world,  or any of the many countries where human rights are trampled on daily.</p>
<p>If the organizers truly cared about Human Rights, perhaps they  should consider targeting the primary perpetrators of abuse, and not the  only country in the Middle East that is free and democratic by numerous  metrics. Israeli Arabs enjoy better civil rights than Arabs in most  Arab countries, while by contrast Palestinians are treated as  second-class citizens in many Arab countries to this day. If this group  really wanted to improve the lot of Palestinians, they should target  Lebanon, Syria, and the Hamas gang currently ruling Gaza.</p>
<p>The purpose of <span class="caps">BDS</span> as presented seems  similar to what was apparently stated in their version of “Mein Kampf”  (I am referring to Omar Barghouti’s book titled “Boycott, Divestment,  Sanctions”) and base my understanding of it on the article in the <em>Harvard Crimson</em>.</p>
<p>Notably, true to <em>Crimson</em>’s standards the referenced piece by  Mr. Don is written in a way that does not slander any of Penn’s esteemed  faculty. By contrast, your Guests from <span class="caps">BDS</span> are allowed to introduce our esteemed colleague Harvard Law Professor  Alan Dershowitz as a “notorious Israel apologist.” And this passed your  editorial review under the guise of an “Explanation”?</p>
<p>The aim of the hateful and discriminatory <span class="caps">BDS</span> rhetoric is to delegitimize Israel in preparation for the ultimate goal  of its destruction. A relevant precedent for such a movement is the  groups organized by the Nazis in the 1930’s to boycott, divest and  sanction Jews and their businesses. Sadly, now as then, there are Jews  among the posse in the assault on their own people. The macabre sight of  the likes of Stella Kübler, (<a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_spectator/2009/10/the_evil_of_banality.single.html">arguably Hannah Arendt</a>) and the Capos in the extermination camps is about to be replayed here at Penn.</p>
<p>The students organizing this event and their sponsors will tarnish  Penn for generations to come. Penn’s moral backbone has allowed it thus  far to balance the sanctity of free speech against the need to prohibit  hateful speech. That backbone will break that day. From then on Penn has  made an exception: Unproductive, hateful speech is allowed – as long as  it singles out Jews and Israel.</p>
<p>Shame on you DP. Shame on you Penn. Shame on you.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="title">YWC speaks out for ‘silent majority’</h2>
<div id="stats"><span>14 September 2011</span> <span>By Matthew Heimbach, President of Youth for Western Civilization</span> <span>3 Comments</span></div>
<div class="entry clearfloat">
<p>I was surprised upon opening Monday’s edition of The Towerlight to  find that, unbeknownst to me, my student organization had been  officially labeled as a hate group. Indeed, it seems that even the  Southern Poverty Law Center, the organization allegedly responsible for  this, had also missed that particular memo. The fact, however, that the  radical left has decided to attack our Youth for Western Civilization  chapter, when the only event we have participated in as an organization  was honoring the thousands of victims of 9/11, is bordering on absurd.</p>
<p>Youth for Western Civilization answered the call that the College  Republicans put out to all students to honor the gallant sacrifice of  our fellow countrymen. The tragic reality is, when on a campus of nearly  20,000, only dozens of students decided to show up for a Sept. 11  tribute.</p>
<p>None of the claims of the left have been found to be true in regards  to trying to give us a label of “hate group,” and I would like to call  those who parrot these bold faced lies’ integrity into question. I  honestly find the very idea laughable that the Towson chapter is said to  have ties with “racist” organizations when the very first event we are  doing on campus is to support the nation of Israel and the Jewish people  with resources from the David Horowitz Foundation. An event we also  have planned is to honor our soldiers overseas and do a letter writing  campaign to our troops who are far away from home and in harms way. When  we host our “Maryland Heritage Day,” I want to focus on one of my  personal heroes and fellow Marylander Frederick Douglass. I do not think  anyone can honestly believe that a group who is planning to honor the  Jewish people, African-Americans, and our service men and women in its  first semester alone could ever be considered a hate group.  The  organizations that attempt to destroy us are biased left-wing pressure  groups that devote time, energy and resources to defame conservatives.  In the past, their targets have included the Oath Keepers (police  officers and military personnel who vow to uphold the Constitution), as  well as U.S. politicians like Ron Paul. We are a conservative group  whose views are echoed by the masses with over two-thirds of Americans  agreeing on the fundamental points that YWC believes in. Rasmussen  Reports recently released a poll, for example, that indicated “68  percent of U.S. voters favor strict government sanctions on employers  who hire illegal immigrants.” We are not some fringe organization. We,  in fact, represent the ideals of most Americans!</p>
<p>The purpose of Youth for Western Civilization is to stand up for  traditional values and give a voice to the conservative students on our  campus.</p>
<p>By promoting an open and honest dialogue between all students on  crucial issues that are facing America, I hope to motivate the entire  student body to get involved in politics. Our current culture of apathy  at Towson needs to be destroyed and replaced with a robust and balanced  political debate. This needs to be done peacefully with the high  standards we as Towson Tigers are called to uphold. We are not racist or  violent as our enemies attempt to make us out to be. Instead, we are a  group of students who can no longer be the silent majority.</p>
<p>As chapter president, I have already approached multiple  organizations on campus to hold debates, forums and discussions on  issues where we can safely present our opposing viewpoints and allow our  fellow students to make informed decisions on topics. We are ready to  guarantee that our organization will become a force on campus that will  benefit the entire University community through our activism and  debates. All of our activities are planned to inform and benefit our  fellow students through continual education.</p>
<p>My only hope is that the student body will give us the opportunity to  show what we truly stand for instead of listening to unfounded  accusations of those who desire to silence free speech. As Martin Luther  King Jr. famously said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he  stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at  times of challenge and controversy.” I pray that you, my fello,w  students will see that myself and the members of Youth for Western  Civilization will rise to the occasion and act with dignity and honor  even in the face of venomous personal attacks.</p>
