Northwestern University administration officials and faculty members signed a resolution demanding that the school cut ties with Israel, calling the Jewish country a "terror" state and accusing it of "one of the most atrocious and monstrous sieges in modern history."
The resolution—which also defended the eliminationist slogan "From the River to the Sea" and criticized the administration for creating a task force to combat anti-Semitism—was signed by over 1,000 students, alumni, and faculty members, as well as officials from Northwestern's admissions and civil rights compliance offices.

Another formerly prestigious university has just aligned themselves with the depraved barbarians. Alumni, donors, current and prospective students and their parents- take note!

Hamas says, "Kill all the Jews!", and that's lauded and applauded. Israel has spent seven months bending over backwards to protect "innocent civilian" Palestinian lives. They finally have the core Hamas leadership and fighters bottled-up in Rafa, and they're charged with being a terror state themselves perpetrating genocide. You've got to hand it to Lenin's great-grandchildren. They've perfected the Big Lie to audacious heights!

Bowdoin College is just as bad. They just passed a resolution that: 1. Bowdoin to take a public, institutional stand against the Israeli government’s ongoing scholasticide in Gaza, 2. Bowdoin disclose its exposure—both direct and indirect—to arms manufacturing across its entire portfolio, 3. We request that Bowdoin, in selecting future funds, commit to not investing in defense-focused funds, 4. We ask that the Board of Trustees reinstate an independent committee comprising students, faculty, and staff to oversee social responsibility in the College’s investments.
This is why I stopped sending money years ago.

FTA: The resolution defended the slogan "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free," which calls for the elimination of the Jewish state. The signers argued that describing the slogan as anti-Semitic is "racist" because it perpetuates stereotypes of Palestinians as "hostile to Jews." "The attack on this slogan as inherently eliminationist is both inaccurate and irresponsible," said the statement. "It asymmetrically delegitimizes pro-Palestine speech."
These people are beyond sick.

Fire them all. We spend too much time concerned with the actions of the students. The problem lies with those running the place

Northwestern has been a snob school for decades. There's really nothing elite about it. Their statement makes no sense, but then what else would you expect.

The list of administration and professor job titles sounds like a bunch of made up non essential PC woke DEI positions. Their main purpose seems more to indoctrination students than to educate them. They serve no legitimate purpose in higher education other than to perpetuate liberalism and train future social justice warriors.

Anyone who thinks this statement will harm Northwestern is dreaming.
All colleges in this country are out of control and bastions of woke brainwashing.

I think the Board of Trustees of that university have been neglecting their duties. Let this be an example, because there are many other universities in the same condition.

IIRC, Northwestern is in a heavily Jewish suburb of Chicago. American Jews need to wake up and change their voting habits before it’s too late.
As to Bowdoin College - Joshua Chamberlain must be spinning in his grave.

Yep, correct, #25. NU is located in Evanston, a Jewish enclave. To the west is Skokie which is also predominantly Jewish. But the previous generation who came from Europe are all but gone now so today's Jewish population in these areas are those from our generation. But now there are the GenZ kids who are in their 20s and early 30s. These are the ones who live their lives starring at their devices and Tiktok and need to wake up.

FTA (edited to reflect reality):
“The statement was signed by senior faculty members, including Mérida M. Rúa, the undergraduate director of Marxism From a Latina & Latino Perspective ; Mary Pattillo, the chairwoman of the Department of Marxism From an African American Perspective ; Nitasha Sharma, the director of the Marxism From An Asian American Perspective Program; and Noelle Sullivan, the associate director of Marxism From A Global Health Perspective.”

Why does it take the threat of civil war - - for the Pubbies to finally think about cutting federal education funds?
Couldn't anyone - - anyone with a brain larger than a walnut - - foresee that this is the inevitable result of expanding the federal government into education? What will it take - - for the Pubbies in Congress - - to finally shut down ALL government involvement in education? Will President Trump be able to eliminate the Dept. of Education - - or will he be fiercely opposed by his own party's RINOs?
It's way past time to get all levels of government OUT of education. No more governent owned, operated, or subsidized schools. Wake up, you dumb Pubbies - - before another civil war causes our entire country to be gone with the wind.

Academia and their little brainwashed subjects always know what's best. A couple of those bombs being withheld from Israel could be used on Northwestern.

Many American people and organizations are now no different that WWII Nazi's.
Less than 15 million Jews left in the world and millions of people hate them and want them dead.
Shocking, embarrassing and scandalous. Shameful.
Jews have extraordinary accomplishments in many fields disproportionate to their small numbers. Perhaps that the reason why so many people hate them. Envy, resentment and jealousy.

The Palestinian-Hamas-Hezbollah-WAR CRIMES bandwagon has apparently added MORE FOOLS.
How many of these clowns had family members beheaded, raped and murdered on Oct. 7th by WAR CRIMINALS?
Yes these CLOWNS are entitled to their OPINIONS but those opinions elucidate exactly who they ARE: supporters of ATROCITIES which deserve a severe reprisal response.
