Hadassah Letter to San Francisco State University

*Hadassah is a women's Zionist group that supports Hadassah Hospital, a famed cardiac hospital  in Israel. Most of the heart operations carried out on Palestinian children as described in my link to One New Heart are carried out at Hadassah Hospital.

I have posted several articles about the November incident at San Francisco State University, where anti-Israel posters were created that advocated the killing of Israelis. That has resulted in a flood of protests and letters written to SFSU President Les Wong.

The latest is a letter from the Santa Cruz chapter of  Hadassah to Wong thanking him for speaking out against the imagery that was shown. The letter also contains some important background on one of the "heroes" of the pro-Palestinian movement, Leila Khaled, who herself was an airplane hijacker. (Palestinians and their supporters have a very twisted version of heroes.) The below letter was sent to me by the AMCHA Initiative and is linked in the AMCHA missive.

One point which AMCHA noted is that to this date, SFSU has not publicly stated what steps if any they have taken to eliminate this hostile environment toward Jews on their campus. Of course, disciplinary action toward students (expulsion, suspension) is privileged information and cannot be divulged by the university. Nevertheless, they can announce what kinds of steps they are taking to ensure a safe and friendly campus-as opposed to what existed last November.
