Harvard insults terror victims
No American university should be building ties to a Palestinian Arab institution that glorifies terrorism, including terrorists who have murdered American citizens.



(April 24, 2023 / JNS) Harvard University is building ties with a Palestinian Arab university that supports terrorism, even though some of Harvard’s own students have been murdered by Palestinian terrorists.

Last month, Harvard president Lawrence Bacow paid a friendly visit to Al-Quds University near Jerusalem. According to an Al-Quds press release, “he met some of the students and faculty, who expressed their enthusiasm about collaborating with Harvard on future research and educational projects.”


I wonder if Bacow had a chance to discuss with the students another topic about which they are very enthusiastic—glorifying Palestinian Arab terrorists, including murderers of Americans.


In 2016, the Al-Quds University administration organized a “chain of readers” to publicly honor the multiple-murderer Baha Alyan. A few months earlier, Alyan and an accomplice boarded a Jerusalem bus and began attacking passengers. One of those he murdered was 78-year-old Richard Lakin, an American Jewish civil-rights activist from Connecticut. Alyan stabbed and shot the defenseless elderly man in his face and chest.

The Palestinian TV station Wattan reported on the Al-Quds chain-reading celebration: “More than 2,500 male and female students participated in the chain, and it included the reading of books and letter-writing by the participants, all of this in the presence of the Martyr’s father, the lawyer Muhammad Alyan.” The students wrote letters “to the souls of Martyr Baha Alyan and the other Martyrs and their relatives. … Participants in the activity wore shirts with a picture of Martyr Baha Alyan.”


I also wonder if Bacow had a chance to visit the monument that was erected at Al-Quds a few years ago by the student branch of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist group.

The PFLP, which is the second-largest member organization of the PLO, is on the official U.S. list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. It was responsible for many of the most notorious airplane hijackings of the 1970s, as well as numerous suicide bombings and other attacks in recent years.

The monument it set up on the Al-Quds campus is called the “Monument to the Martyrs of Al-Quds University.” It features this inscription: “Beware of natural death; do not die, but amidst the hail of bullets.” That’s a quote from the late PFLP leader Ghassan Kanafani. (Translation courtesy of Palestinian Media Watch). Kanafani was one of the masterminds of the 1972 Lod Airport attack in which 26 travelers, including 11 American citizens from Puerto Rico, were massacred.

If Bacow doesn’t read Arabic, I’m sure one of the helpful students or administration members would have been glad to translate that inscription for him.

The text on the monument lists the names of Al-Quds University alumni who were killed while carrying out terrorist attacks. One of the most recent was Muhannad Halabi. He attacked an Israeli couple strolling with their infant in Jerusalem. Halabi stabbed all three, killing the man, and wounding the woman and the baby. He also stabbed to death a passerby who tried to intervene.

The monument hails Halabi as “the Heroic Martyr and Detonator of the Third Intifada.” (Many Palestinian Arabs view the wave of stabbing attacks in 2015 as the beginning of the “Third Intifada,” and they see Halabi as its pioneer.)

Obviously, students can’t erect a monument on a university campus without the approval of the administration. And, sure enough, when the dean of student affairs at Al-Quds, Al-Raouf Abd Al-Sinawi, was asked by Wattan if the university authorized the pro-terrorist monument, he replied: “Why would we oppose [it]?”

The PFLP students are not the only pro-terrorist group permitted on campus. There’s also a “Sisters of Dalal Mughrabi” group, honoring the woman terrorist who led the massacre of 37 Jews in the Tel Aviv Highway massacre in 1978. The first victim of that slaughter was American Jewish nature photographer Gail Rubin, the niece of Sen. Abraham Ribicoff.

No American university should be building ties to a Palestinian Arab institution that glorifies terrorism, including terrorists who have murdered American citizens. A relationship with Harvard will give Al-Quds a measure of credibility and prestige that it does not deserve.

What makes the Harvard initiative especially appalling is that some of its own students have been victims of Palestinian terrorism.

Harvard student Etan Bard and his father, Seldon, were murdered by Palestinian terrorists who blew up a TWA flight from Israel in 1974. Harvard alumnus Harold Rosenthal, who had served as an aide to U.S. senators Walter Mondale and Jacob Javits, was murdered by Palestinian terrorists in the Istanbul airport in 1976. Another Harvard graduate, Dr. Alan Bauer, was severely wounded—as was his 7-year-old son—in a Palestinian suicide bombing in Jerusalem in 2002.

Bacow’s visit to Al-Quds University was a slap in the face to the families of Etan Bard and Harold Rosenthal, and an outrageous insult to the memory of the victims. It will be a black mark on Harvard’s reputation and an everlasting badge of shame if it proceeds to establish a relationship with Al-Quds.

Years ago, Brandeis University had a partnership with Al-Quds. But after the Al-Quds administration hosted a rally on campus glorifying suicide bombers, Brandeis ended that relationship. Harvard should follow in those footsteps.

Stephen M. Flatow is an attorney and the father of Alisa Flatow, who was murdered in an Iranian-sponsored Palestinian terrorist attack in 1995. He is the author of “A Father’s Story: My Fight for Justice Against Iranian Terror.”

Neither the PA, Hamas or Israel have a good track record for arrests.
...
Yet when have you ever criticized the PA (or Hamas) for refusing to arrest terror suspects?

At least Israel occasionally arrests Israeli terrorists. Far better than the PA and Hamas who celebrate and pay Palestinian terrorists.


Interesting claim, now you call Israeli death squads 'police'.
...
LOL Just proving your racist double standard again.
Basketcase admits settler attacks are terrorism.
Do you agree?
Are you ever going to admit that your rights groups all condemn when Palestinians attacks Jewish civilians and are clear that even if settlements are illegal, the people living in them are civilians.

Civilians engaged in criminal acts violating international law and engaging in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Those that engage in attacks on Palestinians or are part of the infrastructure supporting settler paramilitaries are illegal combatants.

Rights groups and I both condemn attacks on civilians, either Palestinian or Jewish.
Your problem is that settlers are now acting as armed militants with the backing of the IDF and identifying which are acting as militants and which as civilians is now almost impossible.

Also your problem that all settlements are illegal and all settlers are committing war crimes.
From those rights groups that you agree with and support.

Berlin bans Palestinian terrorist flags at May Day events


The restrictions follow demonstrations during Passover that featured chants of “Death to Jews” and “Death to Israel.”



(May 1, 2023 / JNS) Police in Berlin have announced a ban on Palestinian terrorist flags and violent statements against Israel during Monday’s May Day demonstrations.

The move follows a march in the city during the Passover on April 8 co-organized by Palestinian NGO Samidoun where the mainly German Muslim participants chanted “Death to Jews” and “Death to Israel.”

Local law enforcement issued a statement on Saturday on restrictions related to the annual International Workers’ Day demonstrations according to which it is “forbidden to shout/utter and display slogans that are defamatory towards parts or individuals of an ethnic or religious group, incite hatred or impair the human dignity of others, as well as defamatory statements.”


Also prohibited are statements that “propagate the annihilation of the State of Israel and/or its inhabitants or are otherwise likely to convey a readiness to use violence.”

Participants in the protests are also banned from promoting the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT, the “Party of Liberation”) and Hamas as well as organizations related to these terrorist groups.

“Identification marks, symbols or emblems of these organizations may not be shown on flags and banners or on the clothing of the participants or in any other way,” the statement reads.

In comments to JNS, Samuel Salzborn, the antisemitism commissioner for the city-state of Berlin, said that the April 8 protests in the neighborhoods of Kreuzberg and Neukölln were antisemitic.

“The antisemitic character of the gathering … in Berlin is without question, based on the information available,” he noted.


The commissioner said that he requested that the public prosecutor’s office investigate any violations of criminal law during the gathering.

According to the Israeli Defense Ministry’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF), “The Samidoun organization was designated as a terrorist organization as it is part of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and was founded by members of the PFLP in 2012.”

The E.U. and the U.S. have also designated the PFLP as a foreign terrorist organization.

The International Legal Forum (ILF) recently released a 22-page report calling on Europe to designate Samidoun as a terrorist group.

At a rally in Brussels in October, Mohammed Khatib, the Europe coordinator for Samidoun, urged the destruction of Israel and the defeat of the U.S., E.U. and Canada.

“Defeating Israel means defeating the United States. Defeating Israel means defeating Canada. These settlements [that] exist on the back of the indigenous people and the black people,” said Khatib at the rally.


“We will not accept anymore, as Palestinians, this rhetoric of ‘two-state solution’ as a way to support Palestine. Only one free Palestine from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea,” Khatib said.

NGO Monitor Vice President Olga Deutsch said about the restrictions announced by police in Berlin for Monday’s May Day events, “For more than a decade, we have highlighted the connections between the PFLP terror group and NGOs that spread antisemitism, hatred and incitement. Local authorities are right to act when civil society descends into terror support and incitement against Jewish communities.”

Hate speech is horrid and should be condemned.
Which is why I would fully expect you to once again post and condemn similar hate speech on the annual Flag Day march.

You'll do that, of course, won't you?

Incitement of racism is illegal in Israel. I told you this before but you don't like to look at anything you disagree with.

Todays rockets were in retaliation for a Palestinian prisoner who died during a hunger strike.

You endorse terrorism by claiming these civilians are valid targets. If a settler militant is attacking some Palestinian civilians, that Palestinian is entitled to defend themselves (the same way Israeli police can shoot back at Palestinian combatants). Jewish civilians driving down the road are not legitimate targets no matter how much you hate Jews being there.


People like you are really helping the settlers with your criticism entirely based on racism.

...
Bullshit. You keep trying to claim shooting attacks on Israeli drivers, car ramming attacks, and indiscriminate rockets are self defence. You have far too many posts claiming that Jewish aren't entitled to be considered civilians to pretend otherwise.

Your racism also has you refusing to make critical comments about any Palestinians. More than half of Palestinians think violence will provide a solution and more than half support attacks on Israeli civilians inside Israel. If you really condemn attacks on civilians, why won't you even hint that these viewpoints deserve criticism?
