Anti-Semitic Professors Promote anti-Israel Agenda at Northeastern University

Northeastern University’s professors promote anti-Jewish, anti-Israel agendas under academic banner. Tenured professors indoctrinate students, encourage meetings with anti-Semites.

By Ilya Feoktistok and Charles Jacobs

 

 Northeastern University

If they find out I’m Jewish, they’ll target me.

Proudly antiSemitic

Proudly anti-Semitic – Shahid Alam

This is one of a litany of chilling claims by Jewish students at Northeastern University in Boston MA about the anti-Semitic hostility they have been forced to deal with on campus, as quoted in a letter recently sent by the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) to Northeastern’s President Joseph Aoun. First alerted by our organization’s exposés of the university’s hostile climate for Jews, the ZOA’s own investigation has gone much further to lift the curtain on what Jewish students can expect to face if they enroll at Northeastern.

Essay: 200 Million Europeans See Israel as Nazi State

Political Islam is the latest totalitarian ideology chosen by Europeans to move towards isolating Israel and liquidating the Jewish people – and it is working.

By: Giulio Meotti

 
The fundamental Zionist idea about anti-Semitism was that once a Jewish State was realized, the problem of anti-Semitism in Paris, Berlin and Rome would be solved. Since Jews would have their own homeland, they could no longer be persecuted as religious and national strangers. But this neat packet of reasoning has turned out to be incorrect.

Facebook Ignores its own ‘Terms of Service’ for Vile Anti-Semitic Pages

Facebook must be held accountable for their blatant disrespect of many using social media.  Antisemitism, Holocaust denial, bullying, credible threats of violence pages, groups and profiles are running rampant throughout Facebook.

By David Fischler / JNS.org

 

Facebook is the world’s largest social media website, one with hundreds of millions of users in well over a hundred countries. Despite its size, however, Facebook is not an entirely public forum on which “anything goes.” Rather, it is a worldwide gathering place where certain forms of speech and certain kinds of images are not allowed.

Syria: Frustration & Outright Disgust

 

Whether or not the US or the int’l community ultimately punish Syria, it is evident that the thousands of dead Syrian bodies mean little to the UN, the EU, the BDS people and the like.

By ALAN BAKER

 

 

 

It is questionable whether or not the US and other countries, and the international community will ultimately punish Syria for the indiscriminate and criminal use of chemical weapons against its own civilian population.

Whatever they decide to do, one striking fact nevertheless stands out. Over a thousand innocent civilians were cruelly murdered in Syria, in one fell swoop over a week ago.
