This week we reported that Northeastern University (Boston) had suspended the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter after repeated incidents of thuggish behavior.

Predictably, the inmates who run the institution have called for a protest because of the suspension and because...gasp....two Students of Color face disciplinary action. The two organizations front and center are Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP)) and something called United for Peace and Justice. (JVP, in spite of its misleading name, is virulently anti-Israel.)
Pro-Israel Bay Bloggers has the report.

"Call or email President Aoun today to ask him not to suspend Northeastern SJP: His email is presidentaoun@neu.edu and his phone number is (617) 373-2101. Please call before 5 PM E.T. on Friday."
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. We can also call or e-mail President Aoun and support his suspension of the SJP and point out to him the anti-Semitic nature of the above cartoon.
The cartoon is clever, but like many clever cartoons, and not unlike many clever turns of phrase featured at Fousesquawk, quite misleading.
ReplyDeleteThose convicted in the California courts were not apprehended while putting their bodies in the line of fire between an Uzi and a peaceful Palestinian family. If they had that kind of courage, they would earn more respect. Rather, they were pursuing the cowardly course of keeping themselves far from the battlefield, shouting down someone who was merely making a speech.
Whatever freedom Netanyahu has to speak, is not within the jurisdiction of California courts, nor is his use of automatic weapons. But, again, the convicted students were not running interference with either one, nor were they holding peaceful protest signs in the immediate vicinity of anyone firing live ammunition.
