NYU Student Government Passes BDS Resolution

21

Will this hateful and discriminatory resolution hurt Israel? Absolutely not. In fact, the resolution will likely be rejected by the NYU Board of Trustees. However, these resolutions (which are usually organized by left-wing student thug groups) make life uncomfortable and dangerous for pro-Israel Jewish students.

Pro-Israel Jewish students are marginalized and bullied when expressing a pro-Israel narrative to counter the lies of BDS movement on campus. The First Amendment rights of pro-Israel Jewish students are being violated. President Trump’s Justice Department (who will have a new Attorney General in 2019) must take action to protect their First Amendment rights and keep them safe.

“NYU Student Government Passes BDS Resolution,” by Jackson Richman, JNS, December 8, 2018:

The student government at New York University passed a BDS resolution on Thursday evening calling on the university to separate its interests from firms such as Lockheed Martin, General Electric and Caterpillar Inc., which do business with Israel.

The final tally, which was conducted by a secret ballot during the fifth night of Hanukkah, was 35 votes in favor, 14 against and 14 abstentions. The BDS measure was backed by 51 campus groups and 34 faculty members.

“The passing of BDS at NYU represents a sad shift in anti-Israel sentiment across U.S. college campuses,” Eli Lenner, freshmen class president of the Stern School of Business, told JNS. “BDS is a movement founded by [someone] who doesn’t believe in the right for the existence of a Jewish state. Jewish students at NYU lack proper representation, and because of their lack of a voice, radical movements that are innately anti-Semitic are able to gain traction.”

“Students are being misguided by a movement that operates under the guise of helping oppressed Palestinians, when its real goal is to undermine the rights of the State of Israel to exist,” he added.

Pro-Israel campus groups slammed the resolution and “one-sided” and “discriminatory.”

“It is deeply disappointing that SGA passed a resolution that is so one-sided and discriminatory,” said Ron Krudo, executive director of campus affairs at StandWithUs. “I’m proud of the students who worked so hard to stand up for themselves in the face of a fundamentally undemocratic student government process.”

The university had been subject to criticism after a discriminatory joint statement issued in April by 53 NYU student groups, including Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace, which declared that the student organizations would boycott two pro-Israel student groups on campus: Realize Israel and TorchPAC….

This chart even at its origin is unreadable especially when blown up. Yes you can make some of it out but not all of it. Sad as it looks like a good chart.

Try the link to the chart. It will explain it.

Lack of voice? What ever happened to the JDL? B’nai Brith, Jewish Voice? and others…or are they leftist and anti Israel as well?

Um, how many Jews live in Gaza, Egypt or Jordan again Ahmet? And more importantly WHY don’t they live there?

You are asking the wrong question… The real question should be: “Why would anyone want to live in Egypt or Jordan, were Jews as well as Christians are not welcome?…” Did you know that about 10 years ago Christian citizens of Jordan were forced to leave? About the so called genocide the Israelis (Jews) have committed on Arabs, well it was a very weird one… You see, the number of the Arab population in Judea and Samaria has grown constantly, ever since the Israeli liberation of those areas…

You can’t ignore the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the muslum states of the Mid-East and N. Africa. I knew a Syrian Jewish couple who were ethnically cleansed through endless and onerous “moderate”, muslum persecution from Syria even though generations of their family had lived in Syria. They were lucky or prescient too, they got out ahead of the Arab Spring.

If you f’ing muslum vermin were to stop as in cease, as in desist, unilaterally firing rockets and mortar rounds into Israel without any cause or provocation beyond your rabid desire to kill Jews, Israel wouldn’t have to kill you muslum vermin in self-defense.
Go suck allah’s bawsack for muhamMUD.

In order to prevent Muhammadist resolutions universities must educate about Muhammadism.
After all the radical part of a person are it’s values & Muhammadist incitement against Non-muhammadist state Israel is incitement against every Non-muhammadist government.
What needs to be known by people is that unjust Muhammad
– founded the enslavement of Africans by declaring their descendants slaves to Arabs & Turks & that Africans are enslaved today in areas surrounding Israel in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Yemen, Kuwait, Oman, Lebanon & so on to North-Sudan, Somalia, Libya (surge recently), Algeria, Mauritania (20% of population), Mali, Niger, Nigeria & recently in Texas by the son of a former Guinean president & his wife
– frequently ‘kissed’ penises of boys & sucked boys’ tongues & lips
– commanded the torture of clitodirectomy for every woman
– commanded the total subjugation of the world under Muhammadist tyranny with the only way out that a son of Mary Iza returns with an other option
– commanded obligatory theism
– burned people for not praying
– crucified protesters
– mass-murdered people
– inspired Lenin, Stalin & Hitler who seems to had been a Muhammadist convert

It is bad enough the student government did this but the 800 Pound Gorilla in the room that is being missed is the Staff and Faculty at NYU that are paid by tax dollars allowed this to happen.

Tax dollars aren’t allowed to discriminate on viewpoints though. More likely, this is being designed to test BDS laws and force the issue before SCOTUS as a violation of 1A (since circuit courts are likely to split). That said, the school board is unlikely to adopt BDS, although some school in NY will to test Cuomo’s policy, which would likely be struck down as usurping legislative authority.

There are Jewish students there, and Jewish donors. So what are they doing? Why don’t they get this information out there?

Is there a list of companies that support this? If we know, we can choose whether to boycott them.

These socialist morons all over the world are clueless to the fact that they carry on the agenda of Hitler, even while accuser others of it. There is just no denying it, today’s left wing socialist globalist’s here and the world over are the rise of Hitler all over again. This will get very very ugly here and the world over, before these left wing socialist globalist morons are eradicated, and they will be.

According to a Jewish magazine I was reading for American colleges, NYU has apparently the HIGHEST percentage of Jewish students in the country, or one of the highest. And yet, they seem far too divided and polarized to pose any kind of common front whatsoever.

Here is an article written for what it’s like to support Israel at the university:
