Major Jewish Groups Bitterly Rebuke UCLA Over Departure of Student Leader Due to BDS Harassment

16

Major Jewish groups? Major Jewish groups are largely responsible for this failure of leadership and fortitude in the face of growing antisemitism rooted in Islamic Jew-hatred. Jewish leadership has quietly supported BDS (the 21st-century version of Kristallnacht) through groups such as the New Israel Fund and shunning voices of freedom. The UJA LA canceled a talk I was scheduled to give in LA, at the behest of vicious antisemitic Islamic terror groups such as CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations.)

The spread of anti-Israel propaganda and violence is part and parcel of the islamization of academia (and the public square).

Action and inaction have consequences.

In the thirties, BDS led to the Holocaust.

When my organization created an ad campaign calling out Jewish leaders who supported BDS, notorious Jewish self-loather Charles Moerdler, an MTA board member, banned all political ads from NYC transit systems.

Nothing is static, everything is fluid. What did weak, gutless Jewish leadership think would happen? Evil is made possible by the sanction of the victim.

How can any Jew continue to donate to universities that support Islamic Jew-hatred and anti-Israel activism?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that BDS’ers who seek to boycott Israeli goods was reminiscent of Nazi Germany’s campaign against Jews. He noted that “the attacks on the Jews were always preceded by the slander of the Jews. What was done to the Jewish people then is being done to the Jewish state now. In those days we could do nothing.”

Today in America, Jewish leaders are aiding and abetting the forces of Israel (and the Jewish people’s destruction).

The BDS campaign is a direct continuation of the Durban strategy (accusing Israel of apartheid policies), with the main goal of using a network of international social organizations to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist.

“Major Jewish Groups Bitterly Rebuke UCLA Over Departure of Student Leader Due to BDS Harassment,” Algemeiner, September 2, 2016:

The heads of major Jewish groups told The Algemeiner on Friday that they were outraged over the handling by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) of the harassment and relentless attacks against a former student leader by anti-Israel activists.

Earlier this week, now former UCLA Graduate Student Association (GSA) President Milan Chatterjee announced that he was leaving the university over the “hostile and unsafe campus climate” fostered by Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) groups and the UCLA administration.

Kenneth Marcus — president and general counsel of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law who provided legal aid to Chatterjee — told The Algemeiner, “This is a very dark day for the University of California, and a bad day for America.”

He continued: “The Milan Chatterjee affair reflects the insidiousness of the anti-Israel movement’s new strategy, which is to suppress pro-Israel advocacy and intimidate not only Jewish pro-Israel students but also anyone who even remains neutral. Good, conscientious students will be driven away from student government and replaced by extremists of the sort who victimized Mr. Chatterjee.”

Aron Hier, director of Campus Outreach for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, criticized UCLA for what he described as its “implacable and unethical approach” to the situation. “It is one thing to have the BDS movement tar and smear you,” Hier said, “But once the university chose to side against Chatterjee, it becomes too much to ask of any student to bear this responsibility. UCLA has doubled down on its wrongdoing and continues to dig the pit even deeper.”

Hier, whose organization acted as a mediator at times between Chatterjee and the UCLA administration, also told The Algemeiner that when raising the issue of Chatterjee’s treatment and issues of campus antisemitism in general, he was told by the university, “Let this be a teaching moment.”

“I ask the public at large: would any other minority group accept this answer from a university? This ethos is everything that is wrong with how the UCLA administration tackles campus antisemitism,” Hier said.

On Friday, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) issued a statement calling on the US Department of Education (DOE) to “conduct a thorough investigation” of UCLA’s conduct regarding Chatterjee.

AJC General Counsel Marc D. Stern wrote in a letter to the DOE that the leaking of a confidential university report on Chatterjee and UCLA’s subsequent actions constituted “a blatant violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).” Should UCLA be found to have violated FERPA, the university could lose federal funding.

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) — and a former instructor at UCLA’s business school — said in a statement that regardless of one’s views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “no student should have to endure the kind of bullying and vitriol [Chatterjee] describes.”

“If the allegations are true,” he said, “it is troubling that anti-Israel student activists are creating an environment where students do not feel safe.”

As reported by The Algemeiner on Thursday, Chatterjee — a third-year law student — said he had “no choice” but to leave UCLA due to the harassment he suffered at the hands of BDS groups and activists.

“It is very scary how BDS activists will go to any measure to destroy people’s reputations and careers,” Chatterjee told The Algemeiner in an interview. “UCLA should be ashamed of themselves for refusing to take action, and rather joining in the harassment I endured by BDS groups. I am not the first student nor will I be the last.”

Chatterjee — who is Indian-American and a Hindu — became the focus of a four-month investigation by the UCLA Discrimination Prevention Office (DPO) for distributing GSA funds for a November 2015 diversity event based on a stipulation that the event not officially associate itself with the BDS movement and the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter.

Over the course of the investigation, BDS groups began a “deadly, malicious campaign against me,” Chatterjee told The Algemeiner. “They wrote defamatory articles in the media, circulated petitions and tried to remove me as GSA president three times. A lot of venom was spread around campus against me.”

The DPO investigation concluded that Chatterjee — who said he was maintaining the GSA’s unanimous “zero engagement/endorsement policy” towards supporting any BDS-related organizations — “violated University policy requiring viewpoint neutrality,” and accused him of concocting the “zero engagement” policy.

The result of the investigation, Chatterjee told The Algemeiner, was the “straw that broke the camel’s back, adding that “the report is a clear cover-up by the UCLA administration for its own mishandling of the situation.”

“I am absolutely grateful for the support from groups like the AJC, the Louis D. Brandeis Center, the Israeli-American Council and the Simon Wiesenthal Center,” he said. Since news broke of his exit from UCLA, Chatterjee said he has received a “stream of messages from people around the world expressing their solidarity.”

Chatterjee will complete his final year of law school at New York University. UCLA has yet to respond to The Algemeiner‘s request for comment on his departure.

What should be gleaned from this is: miso-Judaic behavior is on the rise and will increase, regardless of efforts to contain it. While certain Jewish groups have labeled Israel “apartheid”, events such as this UCLA incident occur that leads to a future time of Jacob’s trouble, described in Jeremiah 30:7-11 and elsewhere in the Old Testament. God is not through with the Jewish people and has not abandoned them. Regardless on ongoing trouble and what lies ahead, Israel will be preserved through it to enter a glorious millennial period, where anti-Jewish pogroms and a BDS mentality do not exist. We are in for a ride.

No Surprise! Rumi Cader teaches at UCLA. He is on the board of the UMMA Clinic, and he is related to the Jew hater Dr Rushdi Cader who was imprisoned in Israel in 2003. A deceptive method American Islamists use is to publicly denounce extremism whilst privately looking forward to the demise of the West, Israel, and bringing in the caliphate.

Dr Rushdi Cader a deceptive Jew hater claims to fight extremism http://alert-us.org/ Yet he is a jew hating anti west Islamist who ran the nazi like blog Dr Maxtor. In real life he is a respected doctor. Watch this YouTube clip and read the comments below where Rushdi squirms like a pig and denies he is DrM because he fears the all powerful Jews (as he claims at his own blog) will pull funding for his clinic. He lives of scraps of American donors.

Yet he blogs anonymously, hoping for a revival of the caliphate and the destruction of Israel. His employers do not know that he is a jew hating Islamist. At his own anonymous blog which he runs as DrM he posted a link to his Umma Clinic and an award he won
http://drmaxtor.blogspot.com/2006/10/ummah-community-clinic.html

DrM is careful to hide his hatred of the West preferring to spew his bile anonymously as DrM at his own blog drmaxtor.blogspot.com and since 2007 DrM has been a heavy contributor to Loon Watch and has ceased updating his own blog where he claims to write about medical issues and ‘muslim’ issues. DrM does not reveal his real life identity at Loon Watch where he posts regularly at Loon Watch using Disqus

Disqus history

When his identity was made public Dr Rushdi made his 1DrM disqus comments private
Notice how Islamists prefer to live in the countries they claim are the root of evil. Dr Rushdie Cader AKA Dr Maxtor AKA DrM is the founder of the Umma Clinic in California. http://www.ummaclinic.org

Thanks for posting this, it seems like Dr Rushdi Cader went to Israel and was detained. Of course he couldn’t openly attack Israel so he started his DrMaxtor blog at around the same time.
He is pretty chummy with Ilisha of Loon Watch who is an ex moslem but won’t say so openly. The dude called Danios was an atheist too, he opposes Robert Spencer because he is of Turkish ancestry and resents Spencer’s Greek heritage.

This is why Dr Rushdi Cader started his Dr Maxtor blog, he links to Judeofascism.com and is admired by white power nazi blogs like judeofascism.com whom he used to link to.

I visited United Nations clinics where many Palestinians died while waiting for transport to hospitals that were blocked by the IDF. I never spoke publicly of what I saw. My pictures and video were confiscated by my interrogators when I was held in an Israeli holding cell and told that I would never see my family again. I came to appreciate the level of distrust and anger that can develop.

BDS think they are doing the right thing by supporting muslim supremacists just because they are poor and starving. no unity. all fighting each other. racism, ugliness and murder is common.
Think of that. 1.5 billion muslims and even the oil rich ones need third world slave labour to run their countries. most muslims are running to the west.

they are jealous and envious. I see a lot of this at loon watch. All the while talking of american and israeli power, while saying nothing of the savagery between sunni shia bloodshed. muslims have been at each others throats since islam was born.
no wonder they hate Israel. A successful country that respects life.

It is becoming increasing obvious that in islam, the poor and starving are that way by choice, they beg for assistance, the when they get it, they use it to attack Israel, each other or anything but advance the welfare of even themselves. Islam will starve if the Christian world stops feeding those who would kill every Christian, then starve when there as no one to feed them.

There were Jews like this during the holocaust. There will always be traitors and those Jews who would betray their fellow Jews for money.

Thank G-d Israel exists. If only Israel had been established prior to the holocaust many of my parents relatives lives would have been saved.

The New Israel Fund and Peace Now – what a bunch of phonies.

They masquerade as being pro-Israel but still able to criticize Israel because they care about it when in reality they are left wing organizations funded and paid for by left wing Jews whose sole intent is to destroy Israel.

May G-d deal with these traitors harshly on Yom Kippur.

There is an old saying among guys, “Never treat a lady like a whore or a whore like a lady”. But this is what we get when the corrupt media sets about on its mission of “journalistic jihad” by substituting truthful reporting (a lady) with its slanted and prejudicial drivel (a whore). Case in point.
