UCLA authorities have given their OK to a conference on campus hosted by the radical, anti-Israel group, Students for Justice in Palestine.
Talk about the normalizing of Islamic hatred for the Jewish people.

SJP members regularly promote the idea of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel, pretending the Jewish state is nothing but an aggressor against members of the Muslim community — pretending as if the Jewish state isn’t the entity that’s actually the victim of the persecuting Muslim community.
And now UCLA is opening the door to this group’s conference on its campus?
More from the Washington Free Beacon:
UCLA has agreed to host the annual conference for Students for Justice in Palestine, a radical student group that leads much of the anti-Israel campus activity at universities across the country, the Jewish Journal reports.
UCLA has been under pressure to back out of hosting the group given its history of disrupting Jewish events on campus and promoting movements such as the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, which aims to destroy Israel through economic warfare.
In its statement, the university said that it opposes the BDS campaign, but still feels obligated to host the event.
“Use of campus space by a student organization such as Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) does not mean that UCLA endorses the event or agrees with the views expressed by the event organizers,” the university said. “For example, UCLA and the University of California Regents continue to firmly oppose boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel.”
“Especially in a university setting, controversial topics should be discussed thoughtfully and respectfully, free from demonization, insult or ethnic bias. UCLA holds participants at campus events organized by registered student groups to the standards of behavior set forth in the UCLA Student Code of Conduct and applicable laws, and is committed to ensuring the safety of all of our students.”
Pro-Israel groups critical of UCLA’s decision point to SJP’s disruption of campus events held by groups supportive of Israel earlier this year.
The Israeli-American Council criticized the decision in a press release, saying the school was putting the safety of its Jewish students at risk by agreeing to host a group openly hostile to Israel’s existence.
“It doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots: this group encourages anti-Semitism,” the group’s executive director said. “This conference for hate threatens the 10,000 Jewish students currently at UCLA. The UCLA leadership should be ashamed for hosting this vile, hateful group.”
SJP brags on its website that it has successfully disrupted numerous campus events, which was enough for one UCLA professor, Judea Pearl, to urge the university to change course.
“The organization in question as a matter of its own policies violates university protocols and hampers free speech of others as a strategy,” Pearl wrote in a letter to university officials, pointing to SJP’s listed accomplishment of disrupting “pro-war, Zionist, and racist guest speakers”
“SJP is here boasting about, and suggesting a continuation of the disruptive tactics it adopted in the past year,” Pearl wrote.
“This organization which attacks Zionism as racism itself uses the most racist and vile language and violates the basic norms of civility on campus,” Pearl wrote. “It is a destructive organization that is committed to sowing discord and uses the campus as a locale to advance its radical political aims which is not a negotiated and peaceful settlement of an historic conflict but rather the de-legitimatization and the destruction of the State of Israel.”
The conference is scheduled to take place in November.

Leftists are anti-Semitic. It should be no surprise. They are upside down and backwards. They hate anything good.
I remember trying to sound the alarm about this decades ago. Jews and drones alike would not hear of it. But it was a logical outcome. The Soviets sided against the Jews and with the Arabs. So the Left sided against the Jews and with the Arabs. It was terribly obvious to anyone who was not living under a rock back in the Jimmy F. Carter days.
Of course, I do understand: I knew b/c – as po’ whait trash frum dah traylor parks – the Left did not need no stinkin’ White Boys. So it was fairly easy for me to make the decision to be anti-Leftist. It was just a matter of self defense.
For normal people living a normal life in normal land where Jimmy Carter was just the Great Smiling Peanut Farmer who would save us ALL from the Global Nixon Monster (who did a great job helping China, thanks Millhouse) … there was no reason to fret. Just buy gold and Casio, and hide all of your money in the Cayman Islands or Fiji.
But – to borrow from another one of America’s most racist, and bigoted, Leftist pastors
… the chickens are comin’ home to roost.
The Academy – home to the Hard Left for Fifty Years – embraces Antisemitism as it embraces communism and Islam.
And the only thing we can do about it – is defeat it – if we can.

So, you be that poo whaht trash? An aside, regarding that …. Some of my tenants hold graduate degrees and have six figure incomes, yet they still have significant problems with paying their rent on time, but I digress … Many of them brag about how their grandfather, or great grandfather, was a share cropper. I laugh and tell them that I grew up in a share-cropping household. It wasn’t until I was twelve years old that we had saved up enough of a down payment (20% minimum) to buy our first farm …. Oh, yes …. Grampa was a share cropper …. oppressed …. and all of that other rot.
The Far Left Wingnut Regressives took control of this nation a very long time ago. I recall having my mouth washed out with soap. In kindergarten, the teacher asked if anyone knew who was president, prior to Eisenhower. I raised my hand. When she called on me, I answered, “Harry-ass Truman”. I swear, that’s what I thought his name was. My father always called him such. Well, insulting Franklin D (the “D” stands for “Demonspawn”) Roosevelt or Harry-ass Truman was NOT to be. Besides the soap, I received a rather brutal beating. Even in small town Iowa … the left wingnuts had control of the public schools. Then, when I hit the University of Iowa … Left wingnuts did not even begin to describe the professors and teaching assistants.

You insulted a WW1 USMC combat veteran? Because that’s what Truman was.

My father was a WWII USMC HIGHLY decorated combat veteran. I only called Hairy-ass what my father called him. Remember, not ALL Marines are good guys. Lee Harvey Oswald comes to mind … not to mention mad mu-mu mattis. Point of fact, I thought that was his name (hairy-ass), a five year old kid only knows what his father says.

1. he declared Tel Aviv Israel’s capital (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/223200)
2. he supports the lie that is the two-state solution and claims the US is “biased” in support of Israel:

Obviously, Mattis regards the seemingly unqualified support for Israel by the present administration as a deficit in the Arab world.

Truman worked hard at farming – but in those days, more than now, one had to break one’s back, so to speak, to make a living on a small farm.
Truman was a real farmer, but he was never satisfied with farming.
Still, he brought a farmer’s common sense with him, into the war, and later into politics; it enabled Truman, I think, to earn the respect of Tom Pendergast.
Pendergast had served time in prison and had been ill for years, when he succumbed to colon cancer in 1945.
Criticized for attending the Pendergast funeral as vice president,
“Truman brushed aside the criticism, saying simply, “He was always my friend and I have always been his.”
I think it’s fair to say that If Roosevelt, that political genius, had lived, there would not have been a state of Israel in ’48.

Harry-ass Truman – love it! Have to go back to great-grandpa to get a share cropper, but most of the family were laborers. Never got the soap treatment – but a Vice Principal tanned my hide …
Get this: For explaining polynomials to my second grade teacher. It was ’67, and I thought we were a ‘progressive’ school, but my black teacher took my explanation as insubordination. It was not until years later that my ‘Racism’ kicked in – and I figured out that she did not understand it. Many modern teachers do not understand the basics anymore. Their politics and victim cards are their only qualifications. Especially at the university level.

Correction of spelling, it’s “Hairy-Ass Truman”. I cannot comment on your “teacher” that did not, more than likely COULD NOT, understand polynomials. But, I never done had me no negro teacher. You were in second grade in 1967 (I assume primary school)? You young whipper-snapper.

An interesting story, given that Iowa voted Republican, beginning in 1940 up until the LBJ landslide of 1964. Then in ’68, they reverted to the Republicans.
The Depression, of course, was different: Roosevelt got the Iowa vote in 32 and 36.
I suppose it’s true, of course, that even in the Midwest, the universities were more “liberal.”

1932 was the year that corn fell under a three cents a bushel and hogs sold for around a dollar, per cwt (penny a pound). The U of I has a long history of hosting left wingnuts. Think about Stephen King, at the Writer’s Workshop, and the list of uber liberals goes well into the thirties. My town (well, I was over nine miles from it) was less than thirty miles for Iowa City, so we were getting young left wingnuts, for teachers, all of the time. Joani Kennedy was worshipped, vile evil thing that it was.

Roosevelt, and his Secy. of Agriculture Wallace, gave very little relief, if any. The prices increased during the drought(s) and extreme heat that followed that period. Most of the old-timers hated Roosevelt … he promised much, but delivered nothing. The old pictures, comparing Demonspawn and Wallace to Joseph, with the “Seven Years of Plenty” political cartoons were a farce.

Although I drive by Iowa City, around once every year, I haven’t been in, or through it, since the mid/late seventies. When I took a drive down North Dubuque (perhaps ’77) all of the old rambling houses, on the verge of falling down, had been torn down and hotels built. I did not recognize the town/city. It must really be something else, today. When driving by, I’ve often given thought to a little side trip …. then, I think about it …. and it’s “naaaaaaaaa, fuggitaboutit”.

Jihadis are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons
And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy
Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

Though I do agree with your conclusions, I fear it is now too late to avoid groups like the SJP. Though we should have known that these groups constitute violent Antifa believers, the time to stop these groups is past. We wrongfully opened our doors to believers who brought with them their scary doctrine that involves total domination of our government, mandatory acceptance of only their religion and laws, and an inborn lack of ability of their culture to assimilate into western society, all superimposed with overt and clearly unmeritorious anti-Semitism. These believers, who I refer to as an international vermin, similar to “Rats and Mosquitoes,” are now here to stay, and we must learn how to deal with them. They cannot think or reason like right and reasonable thinking people because they have accepted their anti-Semitism as the true nature of their personality. We cannot stop them from the constitutional right to gather and discuss the venom that they espouse. We can organize to protest these groups, protesting without violence. We should prosecute any of them who use violence or promote and preach violence, but we cannot stop them from holding their conferences, though we are right and reasonable people know that they are totally wrong and likely can never be made to see the light. My greatest fear is allowing too many of these beklievers into this country, and I hope that the Trump administration can somehow learn how to weed these ill informed and sometimes dangerous people out, denying them access to this nation.

It is impossible to weed them out. Trump’s concept of”extreme vetting” will not work. We really must stop all immigration of all Muslims from everywhere.

These muzlim groups of people are haters of the Jewish people. These people advocate for the destruction of the people who happen to be Jewish. Zionism, bds, sjp , are just words, ideas and names of organizations. What it comes down to is one group of people calls for the destruction of another group of people. The destroyers are muzlims. Suggest that college Jewish groups have self defense courses i.e. Krav Maga and that Jews and other like minded learn self defense. It’s not just about Israel being accused of being an aggressor. Like antifa, the true aggressors are the muzlim anti Semitic groups on college campuses, who call for the destruction of not only Israel but the Jewish people. Guys. Defend yourselves, don’t wait for them to hit you ,get at them first.

I agree with this, and look forward to Pamela Geller, Jamie Glazov, Raymond Ibrahim, and Nonie Darwish speaking at UCLA, in university supported forums, in the near future.
Somehow I suspect UCLA implements its standards in a highly selective manner.

Easy to counteract that conference. First disrupt it by any means necessary. Second Demand an anti Islamic conference denouncing Islam, its practitioners, Mohammed and the Koran. Burn the Koran or rip it up at the conference. Hold rally with signs saying “ Islam is a disease, and terrorism is its symptom.” Signs also with pictures of Mohammed as a pedophile and a pig.

Our colleges have joined the left and jihadis to help destroy our country. Why are American parents paying for their children to participate in terroristic acts at Universities? They should be held to account so perhaps their heads will be jarred free from the prison of their derrieres.
