When the David Horowitz Freedom Center put up posters accusing Students for Justice in Palestine of supporting terrorism, we were attacked by everyone.
SJP, a pro-terrorist campus group, accused us of “Islamophobia”, the Daily Bruin college paper called the posters “offensive” and UCLA threatened legal action against the Freedom Center.
Chancellor Gene Block, whose mismanagement of the current pro-Hamas campus riots have made the university into national news, issued a letter attacking what he called the “Islamophobic posters” which he argued violated “the dignity of our Muslim students”.
During the current riots, Block condemned Jewish protesters resisting pro-Hamas violence and called it a “dark chapter”, rather than condemning the supporters of the mass murder of Jews.
Back then in 2015, Block’s condemnation was joined by UCLA’s Dean of Students who whined about our “inflammatory posters with gross accusations about two UCLA student groups, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Student Association.”
UCLA DEI Vice Chancellor Jerry Kang complained about our “powerful, emotional, and inflammatory associations between SJP and MSA with terrorism, murder, and hatred of Jews” while claiming that the anti-Israel activists they targeted “felt caricatured, demonized”.
These posters, like all the others, were taken down by the same campus police that now failed to remove the pro-Hamas encampment or to end the attacks on Jewish students.
Campus Jewish groups, including Hillel and Bruins for Israel, teamed up with a chapter of the anti-Israel J Street group to issue a statement condemning “the posters which were posted on campus this weekend labeling members of Students for Justice in Palestine as ‘Jew Haters.'”
In 2016, after the Freedom Center refused to back down and we put up more posters, this time naming and shaming faculty and student supporters of terrorism, UCLA’s DEI boss struck back calling the posters “hateful” and warning that the university would “deploy all lawful resources” to go after anyone putting up the posters.
UCLA refused to go after terrorists on campus, but threatened us for exposing them.
DEI boss Kang denounced us for “accusing two student organizations — the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) — of being murderers and terrorists.”
“If your name is plastered around campus, casting you as a murderer or terrorist, how could you stay focused on anything like learning, teaching, or research?”
What are students at UCLA focused on now?
7 years later, SJP’s UC school chapters signed a statement declaring “our unwavering support of the resistance in Gaza” and taking pride in “Towfan Al-Aqsa” (the Hamas name for the atrocities of Oct 7) “as a revolutionary moment in contemporary Palestinian resistance.”
“We honor Palestinians who are working on the ground on several axes of the so-called ‘Gaza envelope’ alongside our comrades in blood and arms, and what is coming is greater. Victory or martyrdom,” the genocidal SJP statement proclaimed.
Less than a decade since the Horowitz Freedom Center’s posters exposing SJP were condemned as “like hate speech, directed toward this one specific group”, SJP routinely posts and promotes terrorist propaganda without a single word of protest from UCLA leaders.
While Block, Kang and other UCLA leaders had denounced our claim that SJP supports terrorism or that MSA is an anti-Israel group, SJP and MSA both announced the launch of the pro-Hamas encampment at UCLA. After Oct 7, UCLA’s SJP attacked the Board of Regents for condemning the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 and declared that, “we believe in the complete and total liberation of Palestine by any means necessary.”
When Iran’s Houthi terror proxies in Yemen began attacking civilian ships, including kidnapping and killing sailors, and then battled US Navy vessels trying to protect merchant shipping, UCLA’s SJP promoted a message urging “let Yemen inspire us all and set the example for unconditional, unwavering, and steadfast solidarity with Palestine.”
No one at UCLA, including Block, has acknowledged that they were wrong about SJP. Instead they have gone on defending the terror group and blaming Jewish people for the campus hate and violence.
In 2020, Kang stepped down as the DEI vice chancellor. Johnathan Perkins, his former special assistant, became the Director of Race and Equity. Perkins, who is half-black and half-white, built his DEI career by falsely claiming to have been racially profiled on another campus.
Perkins had previously garnered outrage for celebrating the death of Queen Elizabeth and tweeting his hope that Clarence Thomas dies. He has also accused Jews of being able to “enjoy the benefits of whiteness” and suggested that people would not support Israel “if the Jewish people persecuted in the Holocaust are not also considered ‘white.'”
This has become the new normal at UCLA.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center took on the corrupt UCLA brass and the terror-loving SJP long before the Hamas riots were on the evening news.
We were right then and we’re right now.
The establishment groups that tried to find common ground with terrorists were wrong. And they have failed to admit it or to change anything about their approach.
We were right to call SJP and MSA terrorists.
We were right to show vividly and graphically the kinds of terrorists SJP supports.
We were right to to use the hashtag #SJPJewHaters.
We were right to launch the ‘Stop the Jihad on Campus’ campaign.
“These terrorist supported organizations are afforded campus privileges, including university offices and the right to hold events on campus grounds that would be denied to any other group that preached hatred of ethnic groups or supported barbaric terrorists who slaughter men, women and children as part of a demented mission to cleanse the earth of infidels,” David Horowitz had declared when launching the ‘Stop the Jihad on Campus’ campaign.
What he said then is undeniable now. And if there’s a time to reassert those truths, it’s now.
This is not about campus protests. It’s about Islamic terrorist groups out to murder all the Jews of Israel on the way to murdering all the Christians and Jews of Europe and America.
The choice is now clearer than ever. Call them what they are. Defund them. End them.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center took on UCLA and the terrorists on campus long before it made headlines and we’re not going to stop fighting these enemies of America and humanity.

Double standards. I used to walk around the Berkeley campus looking at posters, posters on top of posters on top of posters … mostly from radical left groups, and ignored by the campus police and most everyone else.

Few notice the high-end nature of the print quality and design, not to mention the shear volume of posters and banners, that magically appear, almost on cue… ergo, inferring highly organized, targeted and well-funded propaganda unit.

Those FPM posters are great, aren’t they? When I was a kid, I used to “steal” posters I liked and put them on my bedroom wall. My mother would ask where they came from and I would say “I don’t know. Some guy gave it to me.” For somebody so dissolute, she was a bit on the puritanical side. She would tear down my posters with scantily clad women on them and throw away my comic books because she thought they were bad influences. Since when is Superman a bad influence? The big corn fed Kansas boy scout? Are you kidding me?
I’m glad somebody is sticking it to leftists on campuses. Those scumbags are WAY out of control. When I see Hamas rioters on my TV I think the country has gone crazy.

I had 2 huge posters of Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin on my wall… Mom tore them with the leather belt she would spank me with. Bitchin posters too… probably worth coin today

Don’t you know that Rock and Roll is the Devil’s music and it leads to degeneracy?
It is amazing that so called conservatives today think Rock and Roll is just wonderful while the conservatives of the 1950s could see precisely that Rock and Roll was a product of cultural decay.
“The rise of rock and roll brought about a moral backlash from conservative groups, religious institutions, and concerned parents who believed that this new form of music would lead to juvenile delinquency, promiscuity, and the degradation of traditional values.” – Valerie Forgeard

THANKS TO ALL FOR HELPING IN THIS CAUSE! All of you are amazing fighters whose weapons are Reason, Logic, and Bravery.
I recall a large display here at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I didn’t think it would last one night but it stayed and the Com-Left countered by building a gigantic display of their own.
During that time, there was MUSLIM UNDERSTANDING DAY. They had a large tent, lots of flyers, and all female students to answer questions. There was a small crowd and I didn’t want to cause a scene, so I wrote a note: “I don’t need to Understand you… I just need to tolerate you. Are there American Understanding Day’s at Arab universities?” I walked away, I heard some yelling at me to stop. I did and turned around. Two male Jihadists ran up to me and wanted me to explain. One had a T-Shirt: “Hamas 156”. I took that as the number of Israeli’s they killed. They tried to argue with me and I immediately countered WITH FACTS I LEARNED HERE AT FPM… AND FROM EXPERTS. They couldn’t stop me since I had so much ammunition.
Then, another Israel/Hamas clash so the MSA group, and these two students, held a protest in OPEN SUPPORT FOR HAMAS. The leader is now the President of the Islamic Center of NM, AHMAD ASSED, A FORMER ’80S UNM STUDENT WITH HIS CLOSET FRIEND, JOSEPH MASSAD, COLUMBIA PROFESSOR who has a student petition against him with up to 37,000 signatures!
ASSED had many meetings in the Student Union with the MSA and other local Muslims. (A group of students surrounded him after one of the meetings and he saw in the lobby and quickly walked away!)
HAS ASSED AND/OR MASSAD AIDED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, A TERRORIST GROUP? WHERE’S THE DHS, DOJ, FBI TO INVESTIGATE ALL THESE SUPPORTERS OF TERRORISTS?
Jeff Bargholz says
Good job with those islamopithecines. I think you should’ve been less polite and kicked their asses, though. I would punch them so hard everybody in Rafah would die.

Yeah, I’m not that brave any more. Now I always worry that they might have a knife 🙂

Yes, I thought of you the other day and how you’re cautious and wary in your old age. I’m old as fuck and that’s an intelligent attitude.
I saw some homeless weirdo skulking around across the street from the light rail station I was at yesterday, giving me sidelong glances. I knew he was bad news as soon as I saw him. Sure enough, he came across the street and passed by the gates and fences around the rail station. I kept trying to lock eye contact with him but he was shifty. He actually made it to the rail station deck and walked towards me but gave up about fifty feet away. I was ready to kick the shit out of him, so he made the right choice. I didn’t want to have to touch him unless it was absolutely necessary, though. You never know what sort of skin borne disease a derelict might have.
But I thought of you and your penchant for caution. You’re right. I’m going to start driving more often. I don’t think saving money on gas is worth the aggravation..

This audio-only podcast is the second episode in a series called the Path To Peace. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr is the ONLY candidate for President who is actively engaged with Palestinians and Israelis to discuss the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict so that when he becomes President of the United States, Mr. Kennedy can use his prestige and influence to bring a permanent end to the violence that has plagued the Israeli and Palestinian People for a hundred years. RFKjr’s strong support for Israel has brought him much criticism. I hope that people will listen to this podcast and to his words – not what the media and detractors say about him.

There was peace working through the Middle East quite nicely under Trump. Under a second Trump Presidency perhaps RFK, Jr can work in an Ambassador role there.

Please let RFK, Jr. stay in Massachusetts and worry about climate change.
He and his uncles and cousins have caused enough mischief in the world.

Islamic depravity psychopathology berserkness violence and lying and hatred
have become the new normal at UCLA.
What a disgrace.
Domenic Pepe says
America and US citizens have arrived at the point where they must recognize that depraved psychopathic murderous berserk hate-filled anti-Semitic racist Islam and Moo–Slums are a scourge on humanity.
If not, then America itself will be at permanent risk to the 1400 year Islamic scourge, which will become a threat to America’s survival itself.
Depraved Islam is a pure mind warping destruction and hate incubating machine.
It must be recognized as such and stopped cold.
Tionico says
A man names Salman Rushdie wrote a book a few decades back called “Satanic Verses”. He has been in hiding since, death threats and a price on that head of his. The book is prety much banned and certainly not to be found in any public library. the “verses” in quesion are those of the book known as the Coe Ran. or the Core Ann the book about those verses is a VERY accurate exegesis of that book. The reason the author’s life is in danger is that those who hold to that book of verses kniw that his exposé is very accurate.
This sect or cult will continue to grow and spread until men turn to and serve the God whom both the Jews and the Moose Limes have rejected. That day WILL surely come, how quickly is up to us. For an excellent insught into this conflict, fgo find a bible and look up the part in Luk’es book ‘Acts of the apostles, and read the story of a Greek jewish convert who was accosted by the Jewish Pooh Bahs Grandes in the Temple. The story begins in Acts chapeter 6, at about verse 8. The seting and scene are described. Bear in mind the lead character is a Greek man whose lineage has been Jewish for generaions. He is fully versed in every aspect of t=what it is to be a Jew.
Very inereting reading.
Maha says
At some point, these useful idiots running colleges, and of course the ones in Congress, will need to realize a Muslim Student Association (MSA) or Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is like a murder/chaos appreciation society, and has no place legally assembling anywhere on Earth.
Trace the funding. Qatar. Who protect the heads of HAMAS? Qatar.

In college during the late 1960s, I was put off by all the radical lunatic posters. I bought a rubber stamp with movable type, and stamped such posters with “CONDEMNED by The Student Anti-BS League.”
