New School under fire for putting antisemite Linda Sarsour on anti-Semitism panel

28

What is noteworthy in this era of the antisemite is not that a vicious Jew-hater is exalted and given the imprimatur of the legitimacy by the left, academia and more specifically leftist Jews, but that proud, fierce Jews (like me) and victims of vile antisemitism are never asked to speak on this issue.

Jew-hater Sarsour being asked to speak on a panel on antisemitism is just further proof of all that I have said for years.

New School under fire for putting Linda Sarsour on anti-Semitism panel

FOX News, November 22, 2017:

A private university in New York City is hosting a panel on combating anti-Semitism — but there’s at least one glaring problem, according to critics: an avowed anti-Zionist protester is among the so-called experts.

Brooklyn-born Muslim activist Linda Sarsour is set to be a panelist at the New School’s Nov. 28 event, “Anti-Semitism and the Struggle for Justice.”

Sarsour has previously said “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” has lauded National of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan and objected to the Jewish right to return to Israel.

Further, the event, which is moderated by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, appears to reject anti-Semitism while also exhibiting an anti-Israel stance.

“When anti-Semitism is redefined as criticism of Israel, critics of Israeli policy become accused and targeted more than the growing far-right,” the event description reads.

The New School, which says it was founded on principles of tolerance, social justice, and free intellectual exchange, told Fox News, in a statement, the school has “been contacted by several individuals who have expressed their concerns about the university’s participation.”

The New York Post Editorial Board labeled the event an Orwellian “fake panel…meant to promote Israel-bashing.”

The Jerusalem Post Editorial Board slammed it as “a forum of ‘antisemites on antisemitism’” that “makes as much sense as a KKK forum on civil rights.”

The Anti-Defamation League blasted the New School’s panel, too.

“Having Linda Sarsour…leading a panel on #antisemitism is like Oscar Meyer leading a panel on vegetarianism,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted. “These panelists know the issue, but unfortunately, from the perspective of fomenting it rather than fighting it.”

United Nations Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer compared it to another university decision.

“Asking Linda Sarsour to speak on antisemitism is like Rutgers making Assad spokesman Mazen Adi a professor on war crimes,” Neuer wrote. “Both are insane, both are happening.”

Rebecca Vilkomerson, a panelist from left wing Jewish Voice for Peace, said her presence, and the presence of voices such as Sarsour’s, were “crucial.”

“At a time of rising anti-Semitism, this is a crucial conversation both inside and outside the Jewish community,” Vilkomerson told Fox News. “I am proud to be taking part with a set of panelists with proven track records of fighting antisemitism and all forms of racism.”

The New School invited some of those critiquing the event to organize a separate affair because, the school said, it understands “that there are differing views on the issue of anti-Semitism.”

But a Change.org petition, with more than 10,000 signatures, called on New School President Van Zandt to take action on the panel that will “excuse and exacerbate” anti-Semitism.

“The institutionalization of the positions espoused by these panelists — through The New School’s official sponsorship of this noxious event — is itself systemic anti-Semitism,” the petition states.

Sarsour did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

Muslims are the enemy. Muslims cannot exist in civilized countries. Extermination is favored action.

No,Toledo, the enemy is Islam, not Moslems. As one Christian missionary who risked her life for decades to work in the Middle East so aptly put it, “Islam is the enemy, Moslems are the victim”. Unfortunately, they have a nasty tendency to make everyone else the victim to.

“The enemy is Islam, not Moslems.” Then move to the nearest muslum state ASAP and find out how wrong you are.

Why call her Anti-semite ? Call her Islamonazi which is more appropriate.

Left/Liberal pro-jihadis will sell out the country to jihadis if they had their way. Just like the Leftists Pope who is now calling for more christian killing jihadi immigrants http://tinyurl.com/popeofwolves

……..Like a shepherd who wants the sheeps to stop protesting against jihadi wolves attacking them and be open hearted to let the wolves come in !

RE: Sarsour’s tee-shirt: “Palestinian And Proud”.

Oh, so your kinsmen founded the Palestinian Post, the Bank of Palestine, and the Palestine Symphony? Do I have this correct, Linda? Say, can you come up with any references to people in the 19th century referring to themselves as “Palestinian”? No, I submit you cannot, because there were none. Your entire “nationality” is a myth. In fact, by 1850, the mere use of the Roman-insipired term “Palestine” had fallen into disuse.

Say, perhaps you can explain why, when Jordan annexed the West Bank of the Jordan River, there were no complaints of “occupation”. And, why, pray tell, did the 1964 Charter of the PLO exclude the West Bank (i.e. Judea and Samaria) and Gaza from the borders of this mythical nation of Palestine, whereas the 1968 version of the Charter specifically included them? Could it have been because in 1964,the West Bank and Gaza were controlled by Jordan and Egypt, respectively, whereas in 1968 Israel controlled those territories? The borders of this mythical 6000 year old nation of Palestine are remarkably flexible.

Linda, your entire message is a fraud. Here are some noteworthy posts on the subject from the excellent Elder of Ziyon:

1. http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2011/12/invented-people-in-18th-century.html

2. http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2011/03/quote-from-arab-mayor-of-jerusalem-1899.html
The above quotes an Arab mayor of Jerusalem in 1899 saying, “Who can challenge the rights of the Jews in Palestine? Good Lord, historically it is really your country.”

3. http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2017/09/arabs-are-settler-colonialists-not-jews.html
This one makes a strong case that Arabs are the true “settler-colonialists” of the land the Romans called Palestine.

Palestinia was the name of the Hebrew homeland according to ancient Romans.

Toledo-

I think you leave an erroneous impression. For their own reasons, the Romans wanted to give the area a different name, to erase its connection to the Jews. So they resurrected a Phoenician name for the area.

Why not invite some neo-nazis to round out the panel?

Most disturbing is they did not select anybody who could forcefully debate Sarsour, name of debate should be titled “why antisemitism is the correct response”

She is very powerful, she already has many popular politicians supporting her. Everyone of those elected officials needs to be defeated. The way NY’s Jews are reacting so indifferently to her, will pave the way for further empowerment of Sarsour.

Oh man that was hillarious! “I-I-I-I-I-I-guess, I just don’t understand your point [Pamella]” ROTFLMFAO Do ya think??!?!? (mm:ss==04:04)

To Ms. So-sore: What the bleep do the muslims who do NOT state, publicly, any anti-gay rhetoric have to do with the subject?; second, what the bleep do the Abrahamic NON-VIOLENT/NON-MURDEROUS/NON-ROOF-TOP-TOSSING anti-homosexual adherents have to do with anything when the subject is the ACTUAL/FACTUAL violent/murderous/roof-top-tossing Islamic actors who are the subject of the bus ads?

I think I hurt myself typing that sentence.

I give Ms. Geller The Win in a Technical knockout–after watching it through to the end. And this is CNN! a most difficult venue. So-sore presented zero debate-worthy content, or close-to zero.

Very well done!

Linda seems to think it is significant that no American Muslims were quoted- they are all them that furrin’ Muslims, don’t ya know. Nothing to do with our good ole ‘Merican Muslims. Sheesh, what a read herring, one that Pamela didn’t have time to address.

LInda SOUR-WHORE has a black belt in TAQIYA (Muslim Machiavellianism).
What she does is decorate her resume with charitable works, and awards in order to hide her support for terrorism and LIBERALS fall for it! It’s a TROJAN-horse play. that’s how countries like Saudi Arabia get to be on human rights commissions. they know all the politically correct words to let liberals think they share their values.

mahmmoud abbas uses the same playbook. they know liberal keywords like “Peace”, “open-borders”, “apartheid”, and “feminism”. he too decorates his resume with “achievements”

they also are very good “actors”, so they can act like they are genuine liberals (this is real mastery of deception right here).

Obama never stood a chance negotiating with Iran and the Russians.

If this Sarsour scenario were in a work of fiction, the editor would remove it with his blue pencil claiming that it was implausible.

Nothing is creepier than Jezebel Sarsour pandering to the blacks and updating a worn out old 1960’s black and proud [palestinian for her] t-shirt logo. hahahahaha!! Jihadist Jezebel fancies herself as a Islamic Revolutionary Leader. This demonic evil vile pig is headed straight to a Federal Penitentiary like so many of her black idols of yesteryear !!

Mustn’t be too presumptuous before the panel convenes on Nov 28. Glamour Magazine’s Jihadi of the Year may be there to demonstrate the methods by which antisemitic Palestinians train their children in “the definition of courage”. Encouraging young boys to stone soldiers, teaching pre-schoolers to strike the necks of teddy bears, praising the teenage suicide bomber, naming public schools and squares after terrorists….How do I love train thee? Let me count the ways.
