It's Time to Call Anti-Zionism What It Is: Antisemitic Extremism | Opinion
Antisemitic incidents in 2021 were higher than any year since the Anti-Defamation League began tracking these trends four decades ago. This is due to numerous factors, but clearly in part to an unprecedented surge in antisemitic violence that exploded across America during the conflict between Israel and Hamas one year ago. In May 2021, ADL logged an increase of almost 150 percent over the same period in 2020.
Some might dismiss these incidents, saying they were just political. But these incidents, including 15 brazen assaults, featured a veritable greatest hits of antisemitic rhetoric—everything from claiming Jews are responsible for killing Jesus to hideous Holocaust analogies.
While there are some who want to make the academic argument that one can be anti-Zionist and not antisemitic, that is a distinction that has no difference to the antisemites. Simply, anti-Zionism is antisemitism.
Anti-Zionism is an ideology rooted in rage, based on the belief that the Jewish people should not be able to have a nation state. It's a belief predicated on the negation of another people, and demonstrates a willful denial of even a superficial understanding of history.
Make no mistake: those who rail against "Zionists" do not mean Christian evangelicals who support the modern state of Israel. They mean "Jews."
This is not a new phenomenon. Replacing the word "Jews" with "Zionists" to claim some perceived moral high ground was a rhetorical technique pioneered by Soviet disinformation specialists who wanted to claim that their Communism inoculated them from antisemitism, that the systemic antisemitism rampant in the Soviet Union was about opposition to imagined Western Imperialism, and that it was rooted in politics, not prejudice.
It wasn't: It was propaganda and prejudice then, and it is propaganda and prejudice now. And these words matter precisely because they have real-world effects.
If you demonize another group enough, there are more than a few people out there who will act—who will think it's OK to slur a classmate during a pick-up basketball game, or spray paint a synagogue, or jump the Haredi man walking down the street in Brooklyn, or—God forbid—do even worse.
That is why we are seeing this jump in antisemitic incidents, because groups from all sides of the ideological spectrum are using their words to make it OK to hate Jews.
Consider the words of the head of the San Francisco branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Zahra Billoo, in a speech earlier this year, when she astonishingly claimed that ADL, Jewish Federations, and Hillel chapters are the "enemies" of her community. Billoo concocted a wild conspiracy of interconnected Jewish organizations that supposedly are planning and plotting to harm Muslims, including the groundless accusation that the Israeli military secretly trains U.S. police to harm people of color.
That in and of itself is antisemitic extremism. And when CAIR, a major organization that is welcomed into coalitions by a range of mainstream non-profits, stayed silent and took no action itself to correct the conspiracism, to acknowledge the hurt of such slander, and instead opted to blame the victim and defend the bigot, that just added fuel to the fire.
Anti-Zionist groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and CAIR may not have taken to arms like right-wing extremists. But they are still spouting combustible extremist rhetoric that threatens the peace and wellbeing of the Jewish community—and society at large.
Over the past month, another wave of terror attacks roiled Israel. Terrorists with handguns and knives targeted and killed anyone within arm's reach, killing Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel. In response to this violence, organizations like SJP and JVP rallied in midtown Manhattan. They didn't call to "give peace a chance" or "stop the violence." Instead, they called to "globalize the intifada." Their response to a surge in homicidal violence against civilians was literally a call for more homicidal violence against civilians.
That is extremism.
To combat this extremism, we must be prepared to act. For ADL, it means that we will use our analytic capabilities to expose their ideas and ideology, use our litigation skills to hold them accountable for their harm, push policymakers to take action, and do our utmost to expose these extremists to the world.
To be sure, some will claim that putting these groups in the same category as right-wing extremists somehow makes one anti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian. This is also a lie, one as toxic and false as the claim proffered by alt-right bigots that calling out their extremism makes one anti-Christian or anti-white. Indeed, we believe that a two-state solution ultimately is the only outcome that can provide dignity and security to both sides.
Shining a spotlight on anti-Zionist extremism may fray old friendships. Some may be reluctant to take a stand against groups with whom they agree on other issues. Some may try to hide behind their own faith, as if that somehow relieves them of responsibility for their words. It does not.
But too many just do not realize that these groups are spewing extremism, the kind of dangerous hatred that sparks violence. And so, we will work relentlessly to push back on such prejudice. It is essential if we hope to end the oldest hatred once and for all.

It's Time to Call Anti-Zionism What It Is: Antisemitic Extremism | Opinion (newsweek.com)
Since when is quoting your posts a lie?
You parroted the extreme religious, racist talking point that Jews visiting Temple Mount is an invasion because police need to protect those Jews from repeated attack by extremists.
You have continually been arguing with Amnesty because Amnesty thinks attacks targeting civilians aren't allowed, even if you think people of their religion don't belong.
Yet you still pretend that Palestinians can do no wrong but every accusation against Israel must be true.
And another attempt to justify anti-semitism. They vandalized a store with graffiti criticizing Israel because the owner is Jewish.
And no matter how much you refuse to accept it, your repeated posts repeatedly tick off the boxes on the definition of anti-semitism used by Canada and much of the rights respecting democratic countries.
the latest pro terror and anti-Jewish rally this time in Switzerland
These are threatening and hateful scenes that unfold on May 19, 2022, as part of a anti-Israel demonstration in Bern approved by the police, at the culmination of which a Bible in Arabic is publicly burned.
The “Palestine Group Bern” had called for a “square rally in Bern” to “mourn and protest” on Bern’s station square. The reason for the mourning and protest was, according to the event flyer, the alleged “murder of the Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli occupation forces”, “another Israeli crime”. Prejudgements and unsubstantiated accusations with which the predominantly Lebanese Muslim demonstrators announced their anti-Israeli march.
The flyer was distributed by the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions against Israel) movement, which is classified as “clearly anti-Semitic” by leading anti-Semitism experts and the German Parliament.
Once a month, the pro-Israeli “Israel Forum Bern” also runs a stand on Bern’s station square selling dates from Israel and educational reading material, including on the day of the Palestinian demo. “We have set ourselves the goal of supporting and actively participating in the fair dissemination of information to Israel,” reads the association’s mission statement. By means of “correct public relations work” we want to counteract the “tendentious reporting on Israel in Switzerland” and “anti-Semitic tendencies”.
“We don’t actively approach people, but wait and then talk to people who are interested in the stand,” writes Israel Forum Bern member C. F. (name known to the editors), who describes on Facebook the aggression of the BDS-porting demonstrators, which was also captured on video.
“Often it’s about prejudices that are harboured towards Israel and in conversation we break them down. That usually works out well. Yesterday, however, it did not,” said F.
“A bawling mob with flags and anti-Semitic hate slogans” had besieged the stand decorated with Israel flags, where mainly Christian Israel lovers of an older age were. Some had made Hitler salutes, and hate slogans such as “Israel terrorist” could be heard on the videos. People spat on the ground in front of the stand and the atmosphere became increasingly aggressive.
“We were afraid, but remained calm,” F. continued. “To calm them down” and as a gesture of peacefulness, the angry anti-Israeli demonstrators were given a Bible in Arabic, which did not calm them down, but incited them even more.
With a martial roar, the Muslims begin to burn the Bible. One would not like to imagine what would have happened if right-wing extremists had burnt a Koran in front of a Muslim information stand. But when Bibles are burnt in public, neither the bystanders nor the police react.
Now, this is by no means the first time that Muslim hatred of Jews has found its way onto Swiss streets. On Facebook pages mobilising for the Zurich pro-Gaza demo in July 2014, there were comments such as “only a dead Jew is a good Jew”, “the only medicine against Jews was Adolf Hitler” or “we must exterminate the Jews”. The march route approved by the Zurich city administration was to be moved to the “Jewish quarter”. There, one could “smash the faces” of the “shitty Jews” and “Israel sympathisers” and “stone every Zionist in the Jewish quarter”.
Dr Jonathan Kreutner, Secretary General of the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG) in “Schweiz aktuell” of July 17, 2014: “All these statements come from Muslims.”
But there are also recent examples. In Basel, a Muslim seller of Palestinian olive oil, who openly promotes the BDS movement on his website, prevented the Christian entrepreneur René Sigg from selling his olive oil from Israel at the “olive oil special market” in the Basel market hall.
The Markthalle’s promise was revoked after payment of the stall fee, due to the “problematic situation in connection with the origin of your oils”, as Markthalle administrator Christoph Schön wrote by email. In the case of the Muslim trader, however, the same place of production is not an issue.
The fact that the trader in question is hoisting a Palestine flag with the inscription “Jerusalem is ours, we are coming” at his stand is also not a problem for Schön and the Markthalle.
In Basel, the Israelite Community of Basel (IGB) has meanwhile reached the point where, on the occasion of planned anti-Israeli rallies, it warns its community members “for security reasons” to “avoid the places on a large scale at the times mentioned”, as the Basler Zeitung 2021 reported.
Anti-Israeli agitation, which often crosses the line into open anti-Semitism, becomes particularly problematic when elements of Christian “liberation theology” mix with Muslim hostility towards Jews as well as Marxist-anti-imperialist hatred of Israel to form a highly toxic brew and supposedly “anti-fascist” alliances such as “Basel Nazifrei” suddenly polemicise against Israel with a socialist clenched fist, and anti-Israel Muslims march with Palestine flags in the Migrantifa block at demonstrations on May 1st.
In Bern, after the Bible burning, the furore of the pro-Palestinian Hezbollah sympathisers had died down and they withdrew from the Israel Forum Bern stand.
“After a while, two police officers showed up and there were subsequent discussions about what had happened,” writes F., “and the police explained to us that Hitler salutes and burning books were not forbidden in Switzerland.”
The Bern cantonal police, when asked by Audiatur-Online, confirmed ” a deployment at the station square in Bern on May 19, 2022, at around 8.15 pm. However, when our patrol arrived, no acute confrontation or anything criminally liable could be detected.”
Conclusion: In a country where the Hitler salute is permitted by a federal court decision, where Jews are forced to use their tax money to support a population group with hundreds of millions that calls for the destruction of Israel (Fatah/PLO) or all Jews (Hamas) in its constitutions, and where parliamentarians are obsessively engaged against Israel, there are considerable dangers in publicly standing up for the Jewish state.

You made up false statements.
There was no quote.
You can't actually debate the issues and haven't been able to for over a year. Instead you have to lie and make some false claim about Hamas or something.
Israel is apartheid and you have no answer.
Now that you are defending apartheid any accusation of racism from you is like pissing in the wind.
Because apartheid is only one step less evil than genocide.

Its only the racists that want to keep apartheid going.

So terb's anti Jewish poster refuses to condemn an anti Jewish vandalism on a store that is owned by a Jewish man. and supports that anti Jewish slogan " free palestine" that was written on the man's store. That slogan is heard at many anti Jewish and anti Israel and pro terrorist rallies.

"pro palestinian" aka anti-jewish types love to hangout out with other terrorist apologists

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) spoke at a rally this month with a pro-Hamas newspaper publisher who urged Palestinians to attack Israel.
Tlaib shared the stage with Osama Siblani, the publisher of the Dearborn-based Arab American News, at the second annual Metro Detroit March for Jerusalem Palestine on May 15. Siblani, whose newspaper cosponsored the event, urged Arabs in Michigan and elsewhere to "fight within [their] means" against Israel, whether it be with "stones," "guns," or "their hands." He sang the praises of the "fedayeen"—Islamic militants—for "striking [Israel] with knives and with their bare hands."
In her speech, Tlaib railed against what she called the "apartheid" Israeli government and urged Arab Americans to run for office in order to advance the Palestinian cause in Washington, D.C.
Tlaib has emerged as one of the most vocal anti-Israel activists in Congress and is a strong backer of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to inflict economic harm on Israel. Tlaib has accused Jewish supporters of Israel of holding dual loyalties, a term widely considered anti-Semitic in nature.
Siblani has an extensive history praising the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas. He told the Washington Post in 2003 that he viewed Hamas and Hezbollah as "freedom fighters" rather than terrorists. He told the Chicago Tribune in 2006 he would "be willing to go to jail" if the FBI decided to round up supporters of Hezbollah. Tlaib's campaign has accepted $1,250 in contributions from Siblani since 2018, including $500 on March 13, according to Federal Election Commission records. Tlaib's campaign spent $1,025 in 2020 on ads in Siblani's paper, which has a history of publishing anti-Semitic content.
The Michigan rally featured other controversial speakers, including Rabbi Dovid Weiss. The anti-Zionist activist has attended Holocaust denial events with former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Weiss gave a gift to the head of Hezbollah at an event in Beirut in 2018.
The Michigan rally was held to commemorate "the Nakba," a Palestinian phrase for Israel’s founding that loosely translates to "the catastrophe." Tlaib and other House members affiliated with "the Squad" introduced a resolution a day after the rally calling for the U.S. government to recognize "Nakba Day." Jewish lawmakers and pro-Israel groups called the resolution anti-Semitic.
"This resolution is just the latest in a long line of anti-Semitic, anti-Israel statements, policies and actions by the most radical voices in the Democratic Party," Rep. Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), who is Jewish, said in a statement. "This group on the far-left never misses an opportunity to dangerously promote anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiments and agendas."
The Coalition for Jewish Values, an advocacy group representing more than 2,000 rabbis, said Tlaib's promotion of the Nakba resolution is an "indelible stain on Congress."
"Every Member of Congress, especially those who are Jewish, has a moral obligation to repudiate this hateful resolution," Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld, the group’s president, said in a statement, adding that "the real catastrophe is that we have reached the point that this was introduced."
The Republican Jewish Coalition described the Nakba Day resolution as "another attempt by the most radical leftists in Congress to delegitimize our ally Israel and to promote anti-Israel and frankly anti-Semitic efforts to destroy the only democracy in the Middle East."
During Nakba Day demonstrations in Ramallah and other Palestinian territories, speakers advocated for Israel's destruction and committed themselves to conducting terrorism operations against the Jewish state.
Tlaib came under fire in August 2021 when she claimed that wealthy pro-Israel forces are "behind the curtain" controlling U.S. policy. The statement was widely condemned as an anti-Semitic dog whistle by groups like the Anti-Defamation League and the Conference of Presidents, which represents major Jewish-American advocacy organizations.

"Every Member of Congress, especially those who are Jewish, has a moral obligation to repudiate this hateful resolution," Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld, the group’s president, said in a statement, adding that "the real catastrophe is that we have reached the point that this was introduced."
The Republican Jewish Coalition described the Nakba Day resolution as "another attempt by the most radical leftists in Congress to delegitimize our ally Israel and to promote anti-Israel and frankly anti-Semitic efforts to destroy the only democracy in the Middle East."
During Nakba Day demonstrations in Ramallah and other Palestinian territories, speakers advocated for Israel's destruction and committed themselves to conducting terrorism operations against the Jewish state.
Tlaib came under fire in August 2021 when she claimed that wealthy pro-Israel forces are "behind the curtain" controlling U.S. policy. The statement was widely condemned as an anti-Semitic dog whistle by groups like the Anti-Defamation League and the Conference of Presidents, which represents major Jewish-American advocacy organizations.
Meet Rashida Tlaib’s Favorite Anti-Israel Publisher (freebeacon.com)
So you haven't been arguing that Jews simply being in the West Bank makes them war criminals and valid targets? You haven't been arguing that Jews shouldn't be allowed to visit holy sites because some Palestinians react violently? SDadly despite all your talk about being anti-racist and against extremist religion, you happily parrot extremist talking points that Jews being near a mosque is a desecration.
And no surprise you think it's okay to vandalize some random Jew's business because some people don't like Israel. As Canada states, blaming Jews for your dislike of Israel is expressly anti-semitic.
Just because all the settlements are illegal, as you have confirmed and that makes settlers war criminals it doesn't mean they are not civilians.
Settlers are war criminals but civilians until they act as terrorists or militants, while they are backed by the IDF in attacks on Palestinian civilians, as happens nearly daily. But you know this.
Nine Palestinians Injured in Jewish Settler Attack on Burqa
At least nine Palestinians were injured on Friday in an attack by Jewish settlers on the outskirts of the Palestinian town of Burqa.

I'm all for anti-war graffiti, or graffiti that calls for the end of occupations and equal rights. The world needs less war, occupation and racism.
The issue here is that you are offended that anyone would call for an illegal, apartheid occupation to end even more offended that people would demand that Palestinians have rights equal to Jewish Israelis.
What offends you is equal rights, not graffiti.
And finally, I fully support and actively work with Jewish and Palestinians who support equal rights.
I'm just against those racist types that back apartheid, settler colonialism and racial supremacy.
You too could stop defending racism and learn to love others. You too could support Jews who are against apartheid.
On the 74th Anniversary of the Nakba, Let’s Come Together Against Apartheid
This year, like every year, Palestinians in Palestine and throughout the diaspora will mark May 15th as Nakba Day (“catastrophe” in Arabic). It is a day that marks Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948, and the ethnic cleansing of at least 750 000 Palestinians that took place between 1947-49.

So you are okay targeting Jews around the world because some people hate Israel. Fucking disgusting how openly you embrace racism when it suits your hateful agenda. Are you completely incapable of accepting that people vandalized this guy's business simply because he is a Jew?
And again, you are telling me that you reject Amnesty's findings while continuing to promote Amnesty's claims against Israel.
However, the unlawful status of Israeli settlements does not affect the civilian status of settlers. Settlers, like any other civilians, cannot be targeted and only lose their protection from attack if and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities (Article 51 (3) Protocol 1).
Do you realize how pathetic your human rights claims look when you openly justify attacks on civilians?
I would have no problem with people personally protesting anyone for their defence of apartheid, colonialism, racism, targeting of civilians, state terrorism and brutality.
Nor would I have a problem protesting someone who thinks graffiti saying 'free Palestine' is racist.
I would happily join IJVCanada in their protest of those who defend apartheid.

Stop lying, I do not support attacks on civilians by either side.
Your lying is pathetic and sad, its clear you can't argue the law, human rights or morality so all you have left is constant lies and slander about my beliefs.
That's pathetic.

Jewish students are fighting anti-Semitism at this university
University of California San Diego recently sponsored two events featuring controversial American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) Director of Outreach Taher Herzallah.
Herzallah is known for his inflammatory rhetoric against Israel and its people.
In response, senior Blake Dickman organized a peaceful sit-in in front of Chancellor Pradeep Khosla’s office.
The purpose of the sit-in, Dickman told Campus Reform, was to get the Chancellor to “recognize what we as Jewish students have been going through, and to explicitly express our concerns for our safety by having a Hamas affiliate-Mr. Herzallah's- presence on campus.”
“Inviting a speaker who openly incites violence against Jews is blatantly anti-Semitic and poses an extreme threat and danger to the Jewish population on campus,” he continued.
Recent San Diego graduate Nov Dubnov told Campus Reform that Khosla “only gave us 15 minutes of his time.”
“I personally believe [that] was kind of rude and inconsiderate,” he continued.
Concerns from students were motivated by Herzallah’s long history of rhetoric against Israel and Israelis.
In 2010 Taher Herzallah, along with nine other students, disrupted Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren's speech at UC Irvine.
Herzallah and the others were charged and found guilty for unlawfully disrupting the speech, and put on three years of informal probation.
[RELATED: U California pushes ethnic studies mandate that Newsom called 'offensive' against Jews]
At a 2014 AMP conference, Herzallah said that “Israelis have to be bombed, they are a threat to the legitimacy of Palestine, and it is wrong to maintain the State of Israel. It is an illegitimate creation born from colonialism and racism”, according to a report by the Anti-Defamation League.
In February 2017, Herzallah was arrested for protesting during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on David Friedman’s nomination for U.S. ambassador to Israel. Herzallah was charged with unlawful disruption of Congress.
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) first announced on May 1 that it would be hosting the May 4 event on campus featuring Herzallah.
Dubnov said that on the day of the SJP event, a swastika was found in the on-campus library bathroom. The day after, two Israel–themed art pieces were allegedly vandalized.
Dubnov shared with Campus Reform that he and a friend drew “proud to be Jewish, love everybody” and the Flag of Israel on a wall in the school’s graffiti park on the night of the SJP event.
The next morning, Dubnov discovered that it was graffitied over with “You are proud of apartheid. Free Palestine.”
[RELATED: REPORT: Jewish student called anti-Semitic slurs on campus could not get meeting to discuss incident]
Because Jewish students on-campus experienced “severe hostility” following the event, Dubnov started a petition on Change.org stating that “Chancellor Khosla should be held responsible for his clear negligence, ignoring his Jewish students' safety when they went above and beyond to bring it to his awareness.”
The petition has garnered 1,700 signatures as of May 24.
Dubnov also told Campus Reform that he posted 100 flyers around campus promoting the petition, but they were “torn down by the next morning.”
In an attempt to address students’ concerns, Khosla sent an email to the student body condemning anti-Semitism, but announced that Herzallah will ultimately be allowed to speak because “the university vigorously defends the principles of the First Amendment and academic freedom.”
“It is a great disappointment that some speakers on our campus may choose to exercise their right to free speech by advancing antisemitic points of view, and while those speakers have a right to be heard, they do not have a right to be free from criticism,” the email states.
StopAntisemitism provided Campus Reform with a statement on the matter in which it says that Khosla’s “condemnation of antisemitism and call for civility and respect fell short.”
Dickman had a similar message about Khosla.
“Unfortunately, some members of the student community have only spewed more antisemitic rhetoric as a response to the Chancellor’s message,” Dickman said.
On May 9, Herzallah spoke for a second time on campus. The UC San Diego Institute of Arts and Humanities event “Global Freedom Struggles from Kashmir to Palestine” hosted Herzallah as a panelist.
“There’s another thing from a student club having a terrorist speaker versus a university. A university paying, hosting, taking time out of their own faculty’s day to host an event” is “especially what’s hurtful,” Dubnov told Campus Reform.
“As a Jewish [former] student, it disgusts me. And it disgusts a lot of other students as well,” he continued.
Dubnov started a second Change.org petition called “Condemn UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla for protecting antisemitism and sponsoring speakers.”
As of May 26, the petition received 145 signatures.

“Hate speech can be codified as ‘free speech’ until it incites discrimination, hostility and violence," StopAntisemitism's statement reads, "which is prohibited under international law according to the UN.”
“And that’s exactly what we were afraid would happen – and did happen – with federally convicted felon Taher Herzallah’s multiple speaking engagements at UCSD and the resulting antisemitic graffiti on campus,” StopAntisemitism's statement continues.
When asked how the environment on-campus is now, Dubnov told Campus Reform that the Jewish community feels “extremely defeated.”
“StopAntisemitism calls on Chancellor Khosla to utilize his own free speech and condemn Herzallah’s words to let his Jewish staff and students know that the university does not endorse, and will not condone, hateful and inciteful [sic] rhetoric that jeopardizes their safety on campus," StopAntisemitism told to Campus Reform.
UC San Diego, Khosla, AMP, UCSD Institute of Arts and Humanities, and Herzallah did not respond to Campus Reform’s request for comment in time for publication.

the latest anti-Semitic incident using the Palestinian People
Northwestern refrains from condemning antisemitic message on campus
‘Until American universities take a full-throated stand against the world’s oldest hatred, it will continue to fester on their campuses’
Northwestern University stayed silent after a pro-Palestinian student group reportedly painted an antisemitic slogan on a prominent campus rock.
Students associated with the Northwestern University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a movement dedicated to “Palestinian liberation,” painted the phrase “From the River to the Sea” in a public space, according to Northwestern student Zach Kessel.
The private research university in Illinois failed to issue a statement about the antisemitic slogan sighted on the morning of April 26 on “the Rock,” a popular boulder that student groups paint with various images and messages.
“I don’t know exactly why the administration refrained from making a statement. I do know it was aware of the slogan having been painted on the Rock; admitted students had begun to visit Northwestern that week, and the university had the Rock painted with welcome messages,” Kessel told The College Fix in an email May 18.
With ties to Palestinian terrorist organizations, the phrase “From the River to the Sea” implies the elimination of Israel and its people to create a Palestinian state that extends from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, according to the American Jewish Committee.
“The slogan, used by terrorist groups such as Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, advocates the establishment of a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing Israel from the map. To accomplish this goal would necessarily entail the ethnic cleansing of almost 7 million Jews within the Jewish state’s borders,” Kessel wrote in National Review.
The words reportedly appeared on the Rock several days after the NU Students for Justice in Palestine held a vigil for Palestinian victims of a recent conflict with Israeli forces. About 70 students gathered on the evening of April 22 around the Rock, which they painted at the conclusion of the vigil, the Daily Northwestern reported.
Commenting on the gathering, the co-president of NU Students for Justice in Palestine was quoted by the student newspaper as saying, “Being anti-Israel has nothing to do with antisemitism at all.”
The words “From the River to the Sea” were seen on the rock the Tuesday morning after the Saturday gathering, Kessel stated in National Review. He noted that “Until American universities take a full-throated stand against the world’s oldest hatred, it will continue to fester on their campuses.”
Kessel, in his email to The College Fix, said that while he “can’t speak to whether other students voiced their concern in any public or private forum, there were several Jewish students who came to me with their displeasure at seeing such a message painted on Northwestern’s Rock.”
Northwestern did not respond to a request for comment from The College Fix asking why they failed to release a statement in response to the antisemitic language painted on the Rock.

Funds Cut From City Program for CUNY Law After Faculty Backs Israel Boycott
Fifty-thousand dollars in funding for the City University of New York (CUNY) Law School have been reappropriated after its faculty endorsed a student measure backing the campaign to boycott Israel, the New York Post reported on Friday.
The step was taken by New York City Council member for the 48th District, Inna Vernikov, who revealed she had pulled funds designated for the university to offer legal services in her district, and redirected them to a legal nonprofit.
“It seems as if antisemitism is the only politically acceptable form of racism which exists. We must stop handing out free passes to antisemites like candy,” Vernikov, a Jew and native of Ukraine, told the Post.
“During a time when antisemitic hate crimes are up by 300%, it is incumbent upon our academic institutions to do everything in their power to protect their Jewish and pro-Israel students, not pass resolutions which directly place them in harm’s way,” the Brooklyn council member said.
