Editor’s note: American campuses are awash in a crisis of Jew hatred. Ineffectual college administrators have taken tentative steps to try and rein in the proponents of terror on their campuses, but they have yet to confront the most obvious source of this poisonous Jew hatred—their own radical faculty who have not only called for an end to Israel but have outright celebrated the barbaric bloodshed of the terror group Hamas.
The Freedom Center is exposing these radical, pro-terror faculty as the Top Ten Hamas Loyalist Professors. We will be publishing one school per day as a series on Frontpage. Noura Erakat, an associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University, is #8 on our list.
#8: Noura Erakat, Rutgers University
As an associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Dr. Noura Erakat has repeatedly used her academic position and influence to promote the terrorist organization Hamas and to justify their barbaric massacre, mutilation, and rape of innocent Israeli Jews.
In a series of tweets issued on October 7th, a day of infamy in which Hamas terrorists slaughtered over 1200 Israel men, women and children, and brutalized and raped many others, taking hundreds of hostages, Dr. Erakat raised her voice to defend Hamas’s horrors.
“#Gaza has been under a naval blockade & land siege for 17 years & its 2 mil Palestinians subject to 4 large scale offensives,” Erakat tweeted. “Any shock in response to this multi scalar attack [by Hamas] reflects an expectation that those Palestinians die quietly and a complicity in their strangulation.”
On that same day of horrors, Erakat also tweeted: “Any condemnation of [Hamas] violence is vapid if it does not begin & end with a condemnation of Israeli apartheid, settler colonialism, and occupation. #Palestine #Gaza #Decolonize.”
In another tweet she claimed: “Israel does not have a Hamas problem or a Gaza problem, it has a Palestine problem. Even if Hamas were to disappear, Israel would continue its removal and a dispossession of Palestinians…”
In yet another post on October 7th, Erakat attempted to justify Hamas’s bloodletting as a “military tactic,” tweeting, “Civilians r taken hostage, soldiers r captured. This is a military tactic. ““Hamas has demanded release of all Palestinian political prisoners…”
As horrifying as Erakat’s October 7th tweets on behalf of Hamas are, they are hardly without precedent. The professor has a long record of condoning and even celebrating terrorism against the world’s only Jewish state.
In an article written in May 2023, Erakat honored Khader Adnan, a deceased senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another anti-Israel terror organization.
On May 15, 2023, Erakat wrote an article honoring the deceased Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist, Khader Adnan, who is on record encouraging suicide bombings, stating “Who among you will carry the next explosive belt? Who among you will fire the next bullets? Who among you will have his body parts blown all over?”
This is the man who Erakat lauded in her article and in a tweet, writing, “#MustRead thread on #KhaderAdnan. A life of compassion and resistance. A reminder that the best of Palestinian leaders have been killed, imprisoned, exiled.”
Erakat has also gone to bat for another senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Khaleda Jarrar, who has been repeatedly arrested and jailed by Israel for such crimes as calling for the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and involvement in a fatal 2018 bombing attack. Of this woman, Erakat tweeted: “Khaleda Jarrar is a long time #Palestinian leader, & an elected member of the Palestinian Legislative Council. #Apartheid Israel keeps imprisoning her w/o charge or trial & recently *convicted* her of membership in a political party [PFLP]…”
When Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched yet another major round of attacks against Israel in May 2021, firing over 4,300 rockets at major population centers, Erakat was quick to defend those actions and take the side of the terrorists. “When folks tell you the problem is Hamas rockets, remind them Zionist settler colonial expansionism is the cause not the effect…” she tweeted.
Erakat has repeatedly demonized Israel and propagated anti-Semitic blood libel tropes about the Jewish people. Writing just two weeks after the slaughter of over 1200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, Erakat tweeted, “Israel has dropped the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on 2.2 besieged Palestinians & achieved ZERO of its military objectives. / This is not a war on Hamas but a war on Palestinians & particularly children…#Gaza_Genicide.”
In a separate tweet from July 4, 2023, Erakat wrote, “Israel promises the very fascist future that threatens the whole world…no one is safe. #ApartheidIsrael #Fascism #SettlerColonial #DoNotNormalizeApartheid.”
And on May 13, 2022, the professor tweeted, “Our bodies are testimony to the reality of this racist, supremacist Zionist ideology. Its drive for a satellite state for settlement necessitates segregation, removal, dispossession, elimination through & by grotesque violence. Palestinians are among its most brutalized victims.”
Despite this laser-like focus on the alleged “grotesque violence” of Israeli Jews, Erakat has celebrated Palestinian and Hamas violence against Jewish citizens of Israel, repeatedly praising known terrorists and lauding Hamas for its October 7th attack. She deserves to be known as one of the leading Hamas-loyalist faculty members in the nation.

This Erekat bitch sure likes the privileges she enjoys here in the Western World. She doesn’t bag her face like the Muslims do in situ.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if she occasionally has it off with some of the better looking of her young students (in return for good grades).
Before she is allowed to enter any mosque over there, the imam should have her examined to make sure she is virgo intacta, and NOT living free as the hated Jewish women do.

WHERE ARE THE DEI CZARS since one incident against a Gay, Muslim, Black, and there would be immediate firings and hate crime charges!
Here at UNM, two Muslim girls went into the library, and they said a fellow student from the math class ripped of a scarf. An argument ensued… BUT NOT ONE VIDEO since every student has their phone texting constantly and ready for the viral video! No witnesses? SHE REPORTED IT TO THE DEI CZAR, protests. Two weeks later, I called UNM Police to get a police report. “None were filed.” WHAT??? ONLY DEI report with its leader, a Black activist, Assata Zerai, $270,000, with four aides? NO REPORT because police would have investigated to find a HOAX! No report in the college newspaper of who the male student was and what happened? NOTHING!
TO ALL STUDENTS: PRINT OUT YOUR CODE OF CONDUCT RULES AND DEMAND THEY BE ENFORCED! DEMAND DEI CZAR AGAINST! STAND UP! REPORT HATE CRIMES TO POLICE, EVEN LOCAL POLICE, AND EVEN THE FBI! THEY DO! THE ACLU SUES AND ALWAYS WINS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL A PART OF IT!

It is impossible to reason with such brain dead zombie terrorist agents.
They can only be physically removed.
Does that make the islamists intended victims the bad guys?
Is that what people are afraid of?
Being called racist or islamophobic?
No matter what the word is, the key point is “people are afraid of.” Afraid, fear, also known as terror.
So people have been terrorized into surrendering to islam.
But how? Muslims simply use physical violence and threats. And the non-muslims are constantly told (by muslims) they must not use violence.
Does that explain beyond any doubt what it takes to get rid of the islamic terrorists and their supporters.
Crusades worked.
A no mercy attack on all of islamic world is the only thing which will save the world from islamic savages take over.

I know the position of Frontpagemag is that Biden and team are against Israel. Here is where the lack of knowledge concerning government techniques shows.
When there are secret negotiations what is done?
Both sides secretly videorecord,get documents signed,voice record.
There are three proofs.
Evidence 1:
A few weeks ago the Iranian president publicly said an agreement had secretly been reached with the US government.It was after the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Teheran.
The US promised that if Iran did not attack Israel then it would guarantee a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. It was around the corner. Of course Iran videorecorded all the talks,secretly,and the US also.
The US government as far as I know has never denied it.If it did,then Iran would show the videos.
Is that the action of a Biden and team government that is against Israel?To prevent an attack on Israel?
Evidence two:
The US lied. Instead Israel took advantage to kill Hezbollah leader Nasrallah?
Is facilitating that the action of a government that is against Israel?
From different sectors we also know that Nasrallah himself had agreed to a ceasefire. To stop the fighting. Instead he was killed after AGREEING to a ceasefire.
As far as I have seen,neither the US nor Israel has denied it.Why? Because they know that if they did Hezbollah and Iran will show the videos, recording,documents that prove Nasrallah had agreed to peace.
RLagrange says
Evidence three:
So Iran attacked Israel a second time,with 400 missiles and drones. And hardly anybody got killed,only one.
A few days ago US government officials publicly said that a secret accord with the US had been reached.All videorecorded no doubt. Iran said it would allow Israel to attack it but it would NOT retaliate. It would leave it at that.
Is that the action of a US government that is against Israel?
Iran has said nothing.Why? If it denies it,the US would show the videos that prove it. So now Iran has said that if attacked by Israel it will really strike.
That shows it is Iran that wants peace,it is the US that is the warmonger.Otherwise the secret accord woul not have been made public.
Even more: a few weeks ago US ”intelligence sources” said Iran plans to kill Trump.Frontpagemag believes them.Now again it is being repeated with a twist,the US government says if Iran even TRIES to kill Trump, then it would declare war on Iran.
Is that the action of a US government that is against Israel?
Experts agree Iran does not want to kill Trump because Trump is for peace in Ukraine. And Iran is the military ally of Russia. Elementary,my dear Watson. Experts also agree the FBIA and CIA tried to kill Trump a few weeks ago. Now they intend to do a False Flag operation,just try to kill Trump,or even really kill him, and use the lie to have war on Iran.
Iran wants peace,it is the US that wants war.
Remember the Tonkin Gulf Incident.The CIA attacked US forces in Vietnam in 1964 and falsely blamed it on the Vietcong.To start the US-Vietnam war.
Is that the action of a US government that is against Israel?

We can be assured that not all the crazies are locked up. They walk amongst us, and would take us out if given a chance. Think of it this way: If you are in a room with a random twenty people, five percent of them are as crazy as this goofy college professor. Keep yourself covered at all times, and guard your children from people like her.
Terry says
Sometimes agents are not hidden at all. Some times they are right out in the open with the assistance of native traitors. Our government has enough disloyal politicians willing to betray our country for either ideology or/and money. Actually quite common when many of our politicians are bought by our enemies. The CHICOMs have a program called “elite capture” they use to purchase politicians, like our current pResident and family. This professor is sent here to cause chaos in our colleges. And like many of our politicians has done a good job. They do whatever they can to destroy this country. .

Evidence 4….no one cares about these long posts.
I suggest you somehow get a publishing contract. It lasts longer and you don’t have to keep posting the same long winded garbage everyday.
