Abunimah and Blumenthal’s freedom ride

from Mondoweiss

NOTE: Isn't it amazing how one can see only what one wants to see and hear only what one wants to hear? If you are a lion, a giraffe looks like lunch, I guess. This utter Jew hater thinks what Blumenthal and Abuminah said was okay? 

For weeks now I’ve been hearing about Ali Abunimah and Max Blumenthal’s joint appearances and though it was one of the rainiest days ever in New York last Wednesday I drove up to Vassar College to hear them talk.

Extremist Ali Abunimah Speaks at Haverford and Bryn Mawr

The following is a letter by our CCAP group at Haverford and Bryn Mawr, which was distributed prior to the event in an effort to raise awareness of the extremist and anti-Semitic speaker who was coming to campus. The event with the radical anti-Israel writerAli Abunimah attracted about 50 people. 

We, writing on behalf of numerous students at Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges condemn the blatant and vitriolic bigotry, intolerance, and anti-Semitism of Ali Abunimah in the highest terms. Mr. Abunimah is not only extremely anti-Israeli, he is clearly anti-Semitic:

Abuminah has compared Israel to Nazi Germany numerous times, something that the United States Department of State, in its “Report on Global Anti-Semitism,” declared anti-Semitic in no uncertain terms. He has stated “Supporting Zionism is not atonement for the Holocaust, but its continuation in spirit,”[1] and has referred to the Israeli press as “Der Sturmer.”[2] He has even gone so far as to compare Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet, to “Death Squads.”[3]This false and painful accusation has absolutely no basis in historical reality, and instead only seeks to hurt Jews by comparing them to their most horrific oppressors.

Abunimah has publicly tweeted for a Third Intifada: “Isn’t it the time for a popular Palestinian revolution in the form of a third intifada?”[4], and then linked an essay that called for a third violent intifada. In the Second Intifada, over 800 Israeli civilians were killed, while over 5,000 were seriously injured in terrorist attacks specifically targeting noncombatant and civilian locales, such as cafes, movie theaters, restaurants, and in one of the most deadly attacks, a Passover Seder. As students at Haverford we cannot feel safe when a speaker on campus advocates such senseless violence. CLICK TO KEEP READING

Palestinian Activists Violently Threaten Pro-Israel Students

from the Washington Free Beacon 3/21/2014

NOTE: This won't be the last article we read like this. I'm afraid the situation is just starting to get worse. Time for level heads to come together and push back on this #BDS insanity.

Pro-Palestinian activists on the University of Michigan campus have had the cops called on them for threatening pro-Israel students and staging a sit-in over the student government’s refusal to back an anti-Israel initiative to divest from the Jewish state.

University of Michigan police were contacted Wednesday evening after two pro-Palestinian activists allegedly threatened a student who refused to support their boycott initiative.

The threatening rhetoric used by these pro-Palestinian activists is part of wider campaign by the University of Michigan’s pro-Palestine group Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE), which is part of the virulently anti-Israel Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment movement (BDS).

The pro-Palestinian faction’s violent rhetoric has sparked an atmosphere of fear among pro-Israel students and led at least one to ask that the police launch an investigation into these threats.

SAFE, which describes itself as “a Palestinian solidarity group at the University of Michigan,” has been staging sit-ins at the university’s student government chambers and elsewhere, according to insiders and the group’s Facebook page.

On Wednesday of this week, SAFE apparently staged one of its sit-ins in the university’s student government chambers. That is when SAFE activists started shouting threats at those who do not support BDS, according to a police report and University of Michigan Police official. CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING
