remember kids "pro-palestinian" movements has nothing to do with the palestinian people.
pro-palestinian is code for anti-jewish sentiments and terror apologism
“Jews, by numbers, remain the most targeted group for hate crimes in Canada, and this type of rhetoric and hatred in our streets only makes it worse,” said Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada.

The Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity house at Rutgers University in New Brunswick was egged and targeted in two separate, recent incidents.
The first incident occurred on April 22, when pro-Palestinian protesters from a nearby Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) rally drove by the house waving Palestinian flags and reportedly lobbed accusations of Jewish students of being “baby killers” and “terrorists.” Rutgers Hillel alleged that the protesters spat at the house as well.
The other incident, the egging, occurred on either the evening of April 25 or the following morning, just before Yom HaShoah. The house was also egged the year before as students were reading out the names of those who perished during the Holocaust to commemorate Yom HaShoah.
The university announced that they are going to beef up security around the house in light of the recent incidents. “There is no place for this type of targeted hate on our campus, and Rutgers Hillel condemns these anti-Semitic acts in the strongest terms,” the university said in a statemen,
per ABC7. “The direct targeting of members of our Jewish community goes against everything our campus community stands for and is unacceptable, especially during a program remembering the horrific impact anti-Jewish hate can have.” University Chancellor-Provost Francine Conway also said in a statement, “We understand and are sensitive to the concerns of those who were targeted, and stand by our Jewish students, faculty and staff,” she wrote. “Harassment based on religious belief, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or for any reason, is antithetical to our values at Rutgers University.”

A teacher at Alexander Hamilton Senior High School in the Castle Heights area of Los Angeles was found to have a Palestinian flag as well as various posters spreading anti-Israel messages in his classrooms.
The Parents Defending Education (PDE) advocacy group first
released photos of the flags and posters in September 2021, obtaining them from a parent of a student in the class. The photos showed a Palestinian flag next to a Black Lives Matter flag and Pride flag adorning the walls of the classroom. Other photos showed posters in the classroom stating “In 2020, Make Israel Palestine Again,” “F— America,” and “F— the Police.” PDE’s discovery resulted in news coverage in
The Daily Caller and
Fox News; Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) told both outlets that “specific posters will be taken down.”
On April 27, PDE
uncovered more photos of posters in the classroom from emails obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. One poster stated that “we honor mothers who have lost children to police violence” as well as “Palestinian mothers with children in Israeli jails.” Other posters depicted the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, his right-hand man
Che Guevara and
Angela Davis in a positive light. The Castro poster states: “Condemn me. It does not matter. History will resolve me.”

A candidate for Britain’s Conservative Party in a local race has been suspended after giving condolences to the victims of the recent B’nei Brak terror attack in Israel.
The Jewish News
reported that the candidate, Dr. Shadman Zadman, had posted on social media that the terror attack was the third in a week in Israel and shared his “deepest condolences” to the victims’ loved ones. Zadman was told by the local party leader, Nick Jones, via WhatsApp to take down the post because they need to keep the election “local.” Zadman refused, and thus Jones suspended him.
Jones told The Jewish News, “I have categorically not told candidates they cannot post pro-Israel sentiments. However, I have made clear that the social media must be local about the Conservatives plan to deliver a cleaner, greener, safer borough.” A friend of Zadman’s told The Jewish News that Zadman was “surprised” by Jones’ actions, saying that Zadman “has made no secret of his support for the state of Israel in the past, and wanted to express his sympathies to those affected by the terror attacks over the past few days that have taken place there.”
Jewish groups denounced Zadman’s suspension.
“Wrong UK politician lost his job,” the Simon Wiesenthal Center tweeted. “Conservative party official should be out. Expressing condolences to victims of terror is not political – it’s human decency.”

Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign targeted the campus Hillel during a march protesting the actions of the Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque,
The Algemeiner and
Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) reported.
The protest, which was held on April 18, was
dubbed as an “emergency protest” against “Zionist militia forces” at Al-Aqsa, was a march through parts of campus that eventually stopped in front of the Cohen Center for Jewish Life, where the campus Illini Hillel is located. While the protesters were in front of the Hillel, an unknown object was thrown through one of the Hillel’s windows. The Hillel was serving kosher food to Jewish students for Passover meals inside at that time.
“We find it really unacceptable that Jewish students need to be cornered in a situation where they need to cross through a field of yelling people to come and get their religious needs answered,” Illini Hillel Executive Director Erez Cohen
told the student newspaper Daily Illini. He later added: “When people come to the Jewish center to yell against Israel, they’re creating an equation between any Jewish person and the state of Israel. That’s singling out an entire community based on a country that’s miles away.”

A couple of pro-Palestinian protesters said during an April 2 protest in New York City that “Zionist professors are not welcomed” on campus.
Video footage from the protest shows Fatima Mohammed, a member of CUNY Law Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), telling protesters to “demand that Zionist professors are not welcomed on your campus. Demand that Zionist students are not in spaces where Palestinian students are because Zionism is a threat. Zionism is a genocidal threat to us.”
Additionally, Nerdeen Kiswani, who chairs the pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime and is also a member of CUNY Law SJP, chanted “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” at the protest and accused the Jewish National Fund and Jewish Communal Fund of being “Zionist organizations” that are “hiding behind Judaism.” “Every single organization on that list is a legitimate target because every single organization on that list supports the Zionist entity,” she added.
Chancellor Professor of Computer Science Judea Pearl, who is also the president of the Daniel Pearl Foundation and National Academy of Sciences member, tweeted in response to the video: “Dear Fatima Mohammed, I am one of those Zionist professors whom you wish to shun. Let me assure you that your organization, SJP, will be ousted from my campus way before me or any of my students, precisely because of racist demands such as those you have made today. Academia cannot tolerate student groups that call for the ethnic cleansing of other student groups. SJP, as well as other Zionophobic or Islamophobic groups, have no place on any university campus.”
