Why are American taxpayers funding incitement to genocide? And it isn’t just happening at the University of North Carolina and Duke:
All over the country, universities and colleges have featured and lauded the worst of the worst racists and bigots, including the Jew-hater Linda Sharia Sarsour. This is not about free speech. Linda Sarsour is free to speak on college campuses, and frequently does, without the protests and smears that greet me and my colleagues on the rare occasions we are invited to speak on campuses. But it’s obscene that any university would bring in this vicious anti-Semite, leader of the BDS movement, and supporter of sharia, without allowing the other side to be heard. All such universities, if they receive public funding, should immediately lose that funding.

“Congress Wants Investigation Into Taxpayer-Funded Anti-Israel Events at UNC, Duke,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 16, 2019 (thanks to Wendy):
Congress is petitioning the Education Department to explain how $235,000 in taxpayer dollars were used to fund a series of anti-Israel events organized by Duke University and the University of North Carolina that featured speakers and events tied to Palestinian terror groups.
Rep. George Holding (R., Ga.), a member of the Ways and Means Committee, petitioned Secretary of Education Betsy Devos in a letter sent Monday to investigate the events, which the lawmaker described as featuring “severe anti-Israeli bias and explicit anti-Semitism.”
Holding had received a spate phone calls from citizens concerned about the anti-Semitic events.
The conference in question, titled “Conflict over Gaza: People, Politics, and Possibilities,” was co-sponsored by the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies, which is said to have “applied for and received a $235,000 grant through the Department of Education in 2018.”
The anti-Israel events have generated controversy at both schools due to what observers have described as a vitriolic anti-Israel bias that fosters an unsafe environment on campus for Jewish students. Duke has come under fire in past moths for hosting similar events that witnesses have described as anti-Israel.
Duke is still facing the fallout over the publication by its student newspaper of an opinion piece defending Rep. Ilhan Omar from charges of anti-Semitism and defending her use of language accusing pro-Israel and Jewish lawmakers of holding dual loyalty, a classic anti-Semitic trope.
Many of the events have been hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine, a student group known to distribute anti-Semitic propaganda, and other pro-Palestinian campus groups that watchdog groups have cited as contributing to rising anti-Semitism on America’s college campuses.
“A number of my constituents have reached out to me expressing concern over what they tell me are reports of severe anti-Israeli bias and anti-Semitic rhetoric at a taxpayer-funded conference, ‘Conflict Over Gaza: People, Politics, and Possibilities,’ held between March 22nd-24th at the University of North Carolina (UNC), in conjunction with Duke University (Duke),” Holding wrote in his letter….

Congress want an investigation, they must demand an investigation. I, like many, am tired of this gaggle of politicos sitting on their thumbs while those propagating Jew-Hatred, anti-Israel Hatred are funded, enabled and emboldened by a deep-seated body of treachery embedded within the government, its agencies while spoon-feeding funds to the perfidious like of Sarsour and her disciples of hatred within our universities and elsewhere. Nothing will come of it; those shielding the likes of Sarsour are one of the same. The nation will go into free fall thanks to the gutlessness of those representing ‘We the People.’

..The reason Taxpayer-Funded Anti-Israel Events at UNC, Duke takes place is because the stupid Jews don’t raise hell, burn mosques and don’t destroy cars, all they do is cry, light candles and sing kumbaya. The quran tells the mooSlime bas tards to kill all the jews and that’s a big problem. Crying and being civilized will not solve this problem. In addition, many Jews still vote democrap in spite of the fact that these mooSlime antisemite bas tards belong to the democrap party which does not denounce them. So eat shi it Jews, it seems you like it. Go cry now.

Face it, moslems perpetrate FAR more atrocities against Christians, than they do Jews. And, stupid Christians don’t raise hell, burn mosques and don’t destroy cars, all they do is cry, light candles and sing kumbaya. Moreover, Christians, in the West, have a majority … but what do they do, other than hide and whimper? And, those practicing the Religion of Atheism are FAR worse than the Christians, when it comes to crying, hiding, and telling the world how wonderful mohammedanism is.

It’s really very simple, if you want them to stop killing you, you have to start killing them, otherwise it will never end.

It should be that simple. However, I know of NO group, outside of other moslems, that kill moslems. With one brave exception, the Buddhists of Myanmar. However, just for self-defense, they have been crucified by the UN, world press, and “feel good” Christians.

I agree with this investigation.
America first means protecting her “interests and alliances”.
The liberals are using Tax-payer money to undermine America’s “interests and alliances” (British, Israel, NATO). during the war on terror.

The Two Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand U.S. Yankee Greenback Dollar grant was given by the Trump Administration:
“applied for and received a $235,000 grant through the Department of Education in 2018.”
Now THAT is OUTRAGEOUS!

Sorry, but if it is tax-funded it is against the law to discriminate against other races or beliefs, lefty.

I’m Jewish & I don’t think any country should have dual-citizenship holding lawmakers, especially not the US
