Recently at Brooklyn College when anti-Israel activists Omar Barghouti and Professor Judith Butler spoke, 4 Jewish students were subjected to intimidation and thuggery by event organizers and campus police who ejected them from the event. After the school conducted an investigation, it concluded that the ejection was wrongful and without cause. Brooklyn College has now issued a public apology to the students. The Louis Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, which took up their cause, has a news release.

This is just another example of the thuggery of the side that sponsors speakers like Barghouti and Butler. Even before the event occurred, there was controversy surrounding it.
Two days prior to this event, Barghouti spoke at UC Irvine, and an attempt was made to keep me from filming ( I filmed). During the q and a, Barghouti refused to answer my question as to where he was born. He knew I was going to make an issue of the fact that he, a non-Israeli who was born in Qatar (or Kuwait by some accounts) and grew up in Egypt, had studied at Tel Aviv University-thus enjoying his higher education in the country he was trying to destroy.
Congratulations to the 4 students who stood up to this kind of thuggery and intellectual dishonesty.

What victory? They were able to get away with the intimidation. The school will allow such intimidation again. Now if the school had to pay out a settlement, that would be a victory since they would never allow it to happen again.
Findalis,
Oh well, at least the students learned from Barghouti
that Jews occupied every main position of power in Nazi Germany.
And given the state of education in America they will believe it.
I hope that the four students win their civil case and get $$$$$. This, and only this will make the difference in stopping the violations of civil rights and vioations of the the 1st Amendment, in order to allow Islamist Jew haters spew their hatred.

"He knew I was going to make an issue of the fact that he, a non-Israeli who was born in Qatar (or Kuwait by some accounts) and grew up in Egypt, had studied at Tel Aviv University-thus enjoying his higher education in the country he was trying to destroy."
It is an amazing display of the lack of gratitude that runs among these haters. They ( including the ones at UCI) accepts all the rights and privileges of native born citizens and then do what they can to destroy their hosts. Gratitude must not be a concept in the ROP.
