Northwestern Administrators Sign Resolution
Calling for Boycott of 'Terror' State Israel

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/9/2024 9:21:12 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On Thursday, we brought you the story behind what led to the arrests and clearing of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) pro-Hamas encampment, information that didn't get much more than a passing mention in local media reports likely due to the fact that it totally disrupted their narratives about how the agitators were supposedly just "peacefully protesting." In it, we referenced a lengthy statement from campus administrators who confirmed that contrary to what protesters and sympathetic faculty members would like you to believe, the "peaceful protesters" were in fact not peaceful protesters, and were "willing to escalate their tactics to the point of putting everyone in danger."

Asked if she knew what the case was about, and well, she didn't. According to Victoria Taft, writing at PJMedia: The Washington Post captured most of the dialogue between Necheles and Daniels. Necheles asked Daniels if she had knowledge of Trump’s involvement in the payment made to her in 2016 to ensure she would not go public about their alleged sexual encounter. “Not directly,” Daniels replied. “No.”

This movement came as Hamas "negotiators" refused to continue talks with Israel, and as Joe Biden announced, he would impose an arms embargo on Israel if it attacked Rafah. Negotiations between Hamas and Israel have entirely broken down. Israeli negotiators have returned home, and Hamas negotiators have returned to their patrons in Doha. Hamas issued a statement Friday: "The negotiating delegation [of Hamas] left Cairo heading to Doha. In practice, the occupation [Israel] rejected the proposal submitted

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is comparing the pro-Israel vigilantes who attacked a pro-Palestinian “encampment” at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) last week to the Capitol rioters of January 6, 2021. As Breitbart News reported, the encampment bullied Jewish students, assaulted journalists, and blocked access to campus for students, faculty, and the public for several days. Bass and university authorities did nothing to stop them. In fact, security contractors and law enforcement said that they had been told not to intervene. One UCLA security guard told Breitbart News that the activists had been placed in charge of them and were guiding their deployment.

Since the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip began on October 7, left-wing activists have been staging protests and rallies on college campuses and in the streets, railing against Israel and spreading Hamas talking points. Many of these demonstrations have resulted in violence against Jewish people – especially in universities. Anti-Israel activists have issued threats and engaged in vandalism as a way of expressing their hatred of the Jewish state, which has placed high-profile leftists in a tricky position.
