Major New School donor threatens to cut off funding following antisemitism panel featuring antisemite Linda Sarsour

64

Antisemite Linda Sarsour being named to a New School panel on antisemitism is positively Hitlerian.

There should be an army of donors marching for the exit doors of every major academic institution that has institutionalized Jew-hatred and left/Islamic propaganda. The exaltation of the enemies of freedom would not be possible without the funding and advancement of leftwing elites. Things don’t just happen. The left’s exaltation of Sarsour is horrific. She was a leader of the Women’s March after President Trump was inaugurated — a woman wearing the hijab, which girls have been beaten and killed for not wearing, stood as a feminist leader. She was chosen by CUNY to give the keynote speech at the university’s commencement ceremonies, and CUNY stuck to its guns despite the massive protest I led against their choice in Manhattan, and many other calls for them not to honor this savage. Linda Sarsour called for jihad against President Trump. And now it’s the New School, asking her to be on a panel against anti-Semitism. Well, she certainly knows a lot about it. And it’s not just the political and academic left, but left-wing kapo Jews who stand with Sarsour.

Evil is made possible the the sanction you give it, donors, withdraw your sanction and your money.

Following Controversial Panel, Major New School Donor Threatens to Cut Off Funding

Tablet Magazine, November 22, 2017:

A major New School donor is threatening to halt contributions in response to a planned November 28 event on anti-Semitism featuring controversial activist Linda Sarsour and Rebecca Vilkomerson, the executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace.

On Monday, Kenneth Bialkin, a top business attorney at Skadden and a former member of The New School for Social Research’s Board of Directors, sent a letter to New School president David E. Van Zandt, notifying the university that the panel would jeopardize his future involvement.

“I am proud of the New School’s history as a refuge for scholars who fled Nazi Germany, including Jewish thinkers like Hannah Arendt and Leo Strauss,” Bialkin writes in the letter, which Tablet has obtained. “However, I must question my commitment to continued investment in a university that has seemingly institutionalized the anti-Semitism of the radical left. In agreeing to host a panel on anti-Semitism that will propagate animus and bigotry towards the Jewish people, The New School has adopted a position that would be diametrically opposed by the institution’s venerated founders.”

Bialkin, who appears in the School for Social Research’s current list of benefactors, closes the letter by alleging that “it is intellectually dishonest, irresponsible, and immoral for The New School to sponsor and host an event, misleadingly portrayed as an expert panel, highlighting some of America’s leading purveyors of anti-Jewish prejudice. I urge you to reconsider your position, so that I do not have to reconsider mine.”

In addition to his role at the New School and Skadden, Bialkin is a leading figure in the New York Jewish and philanthropic communities. He is the secretary of the Carnegie Hall corporation, as well as the president of the American Jewish Historical Society and chairman of the America-Israel Friendship League. Bialkin is the highest-profile New School donor known to have raised objections to the event, and his letter is the first from a donor threatening to cut off support specifically because of the upcoming panel.

Bialkin follows others in the Jewish community who have expressed strong criticism of the New School’s decision. On November 13, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted that “Having Linda Sarsour & head of JVP leading a panel on #antisemitism is like Oscar Mayer leading a panel on vegetarianism. These panelists know the issue, but unfortunately, from perspective of fomenting it rather than fighting it,” and added that “there’s not a single Jewish organization that studies this issue and/or fights this disease (such as @adl_national) would take this panel seriously, let alone the institution that put it together.” A November 14 statement that The New School provided to Tablet acknowledged that the university had “been contacted by several individuals who have expressed their concerns about the university’s participation.” The university offered several Tablet writers and editors the opportunity to “organize an event to present some of these differing views on this important topic,” which was declined. A Change.org petition objecting to the panel, which the self-described progressive Zionist organization Zioness organized, currently has over 11,600 signatures.

When asked whether The New School had received or responded to Bialkin’s letter, the university’s communication office replied, “Regarding your question about the letter from Mr. Bialkin, we are proud of and grateful for the wide ranging contributions of our supporters but do not comment on specific relationships or interactions with them.”

There should be no question of pulling funding when a school has what basically amounts to a Hitlerism panel. The funding should be pulled. It just takes one action to break the group-mentality and other donors will follow, seeing their own reputations in the balance.

How can the Jews complain about anti-semitism when they themselves side with those who hate and want to kill Jews?

I do not see Blacks siding with the klans, nor I see Hispanics siding with those who want them to stop using Spanish

But I do see Jews, too often in fact, Jews siding with people who want to kill Jews

Are the Jews crazy or what??

Yea, but it goes beyond that, IMHO…..Erav Rav have been around Jews for along time, since the days of Moses. Even then, they were problematic and their influence is said to have been involved in the Golden Calf and other incidents where the people questioned Moses and his laws. According to the Talmud, in every generation, the Souls of the Erev Rav are reincarnated in numerous individuals. The Zohar, which is the foundational text for Kabbalistic thought, says the Erev Rav not only exist in each generation, but they continue to be the cause for most of the problems affecting the Jewish people.

The problem isn’t necessarily JINO but LIBERALISM!
Muslim Scholar Zudi Jaffer (who appears on Fox) says that college Sociologists have failed us. they fail in their studies of the Muslim community and understanding radicalism in the community.
They present the Muslim community from a politically correct point of view.

The news media is also a failure in education:
Look at BDS, it gets almost ZERO coverage from MSM on primetime TV. that’s deliberate!
Liberals do not want other liberals like Meryl Streep to know how anti-semitic Muslim nationalists are and that they have infiltrated schools and the Democratic party.

The CO-CHAIR of the Democratic party is a BDS supporter named Keith Ellison!

Black Lives Matter has declared Israel an Apartheid State in their official platform.

Where is the media in all of this? no where. so people who watch CNN or Jimmy Kimmell Live don’t know how racist Linda Sarsour or CAIR are! or that their party has been Hijacked by Islamic nationalists!

Every culture has a self-hating element.

JINOs take it to an extreme.

The most extreme is Muslim-on-Muslim violence though. Shia versus Sunni, and even intra-sect violence (members of the same sect sometimes kill their own for “not being Muslim enough”)

CUNY is a fake University just like Devry. These are not academic institutions. They are a student cheating and their money grabbing scams. No student of these universities can ever be qualified for a white collar job. All federal grants and donations should be stopped to these two institutions.

The New School was founded by Jewish scholars and Jewish money. It’s ironic that this far left institution now harbors the likes of Sarsour and Vilkomerson. It’s good to see that someone has the presence of mind to say “not with my money.” Others should do the same, but that would be asking a lot of the commie and jihadi loving left, wouldn’t it?

Although I have always supported one’s right to express critical commentary, whether I would agree with that commentary or not, I have always opposed any critical commentary that has any tendency to promote actionable violence against any group or entity that might be the subject of the critical comments. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it seems that being anti-Semitic is the rule and continues to never be the exception. Though I have long ago concluded that the people of Judaism have never deserved the animosity that seems to be continually directed at them, and have determined that there is not one scintilla of evidence that can objectively be used to justify the world-wide view of Jew hatred, it continues unabated. People like those involved and identified in this article express unsupportable hate against seemingly everything Jewish, and more than propose active violence against everything Jewish, that it mortifies me that they are given any opportunity or platform from which they can project their violent critical views. History has already shown that the world of Judaism has contributed many benefits to humanity and have never ever rightfully deserved the animosity which they face continuously from these violently critical speakers and those who support BDS. It boggles right thinking peoples minds that they still have a platform from which to promote their unmeritorious violence towards a basically good people. The continuing mischaracterization of the Jewish world must and should be reversed, though I know that as long as there are unmeritorious belief systems out there that preach and promote that hatred, people like those identified in this article will continue their obscene commentary.

I suppose inviting R Spencer, Ben Shapiro, Phyllis Chesler was out of the question. It is beyond reasonable to invite the
left wing jew despisers they invited but then it’s unreasonable to even question their motives…. as if.
I hope the groundswell arrives and buries the New School in significant debt. It won’t because the Soro’s of the world and the Saudi’s and others will be happy to supply all the money for these speakers and for islamophobia courses.

When you think of the number of attacks by Inquisitions, Crusades against other non Catholic Christians and others I wonder what side the Vatican served. They weakened Constantinople for the Muslim invasion that we did not need. You need to do your home work on the Crusades in Europe as there were a many. Even the Battle of Hastings was a Catholic Crusade carrying the Papal flag. The Pope annulling the Magna Carta even caused division

They would have been better to use the Orthodox, Jews and others to help fight Muslims, no most of the time the Catholic Church was killing in Europe we needed those to help fight Muslims. Remember all the Crusades were Catholic that many do not think about.

Yes there were some good Catholics that came to the rescue? Good Catholics also ended up dead, leaving the corrupt clergy.

I would like to ask these guuys in a public forum exactly how their life would be different should Jews magically disappear. My own answer is the only difference is that with all the new time on their hands they could attend to developing an economy based not on oil. And address a few things like how the number of books translated into Arabic since 600 A.D. is the same as what gets translated onto Spanish in a decade or so. That is, join the larger world. Strive to close the gap between Nobel Prizes for Islamist 7 with 1.6 billion population vs. Jews with 134 Nobels at < 1% of the global population. Contribute instead of kill.

The New School, like CUNY won’t back down. They would rather jeopardize their conributions than get rid of the likes of Linda Soursewer, who knows NOTHING about anti-semitism. What an absolute lie.
They will dig in their heels and probably start some sort of smear campaign against former donors like Mr. Bialkin to justify what they are doing. What can Soursewer do for them? Indoctrinate them into believing they have been the intolerate ones and must be more “diverse.”

As more muzzies give money to universities they are becoming more antisemite, I suggest liberal Jews stop sending money to schools who accept money from Saudi Arabia and other muzz countries who create anti Semite programs, and instead use the money to sue the schools for violating the human rights of Jewish students. It will be money better spent. Name names too. Don’t sue schools only, sue the administrators that push this anti semitism, it will stop faster

Everyday is a struggle, even if only within the confines of one’s own mind. You think you have heard it all, seen it all, read it all, and then you find that you are wrong. This action by this school does not make any sense. Indeed, I would call it anti-sense, anti common sense. I feel as if we live in an upside down world. Look around, look to other countries, other parts of the world. Is the left blind, deficient in all matters of reasoning? They will fail, in whatever they are doing, because we understand the scope, even if they do not. They should have extrapolated. Where do they think they are going with this? Utter fools. They will fail, but they are dragging the rest of the sane world along with them. I hope those who can, those in power will awaken.

It’s a good thing for her that she’s speaking in America because if she had said the same things anywhere in the UK over the last twelve months, filmed herself doing it and then put it up on facebook, the police would have had her in court on charges of causing racial and religious harassment or hatred, more than once too.

The infamous Choudry is banged up now for doing what she is getting away with and poor old Jayda Fransen from Britain First has been charged for saying far less in Belfast and threatening nobody.

It’s a mystery to me how America and it’s Jews expect to continue their daily lives unaffected by terrorist atrocities while creatures such as her are allowed to incite sedition, violence and hate from behind her head bag.
