Protesters Disrupt Former Israeli Foreign Minister’s Duke Speech

16

The Left has no problem with some of the world’s worst racists and human rights violators speaking at American universities. It is speakers from democratic Israel that drives them into a frenzy.

The anti-Israel Left will never engage in civilized debate, because they know that they would lose. Instead, they chose to censure, and intimidate, and violate the civil rights of pro-Israel American’s.

When will action be taken to stop this seditious behavior?

Protesters Disrupt Former Israeli Foreign Minister’s Duke Speech

“The goal here is nothing about advancing human rights,” Cooper said. “The goal here… is the demonization and de-legitimization of the Jewish State of Israel.”

By Jewish Journal, October 26, 2019:

A group of around 20 student protesters disrupted former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni’s Oct. 23 speech at Duke University.

The Duke Chronicle reports that the disruption began at an event hosted by The Duke Program for American Grand Strategy (AGS). Moderator Bruce Jentleson asked Livni about the 2008-2009 Gaza War and a student interrupted Livni, shouting that the war was a “massacre.”

Other students followed suit, shouting the names of Palestinians that Israeli soldiers killed; eventually, they started chanting, “You can’t hide, we charge you with genocide” at Livni.

According to the Duke Chronicle, the disruption lasted two-and-a-half minutes before security escorted the protesters out; the protesters shouted “Shame!” at Livni as they were leaving.

When the protest ended, Livni said, “It’s a shame that we cannot have this discussion” and proceeded to defend Israel’s right to defend itself from Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“Put yourself in my position in the Israeli cabinet,” Livni said. “You will decide whether you would let terrorists kill your own civilians.”

No doubt about that.

Daniel 6:26
[26] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel:
for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

They come, steal , shuit down free speech opponents, threaten, takeover and ethnically cleanse with/without violence https://tinyurl.com/y7yhc4dl

Jihadis kill christians/non-muslim destroy church/temples everywhere they go because as per koran its their religious duty to do it !

you cannot win unless there is organised legal /political pushback.

And that cannot happen without more ppl funding , supporting , sharing real news that expose the truth that MSM will not cover

Email your reps , participate in street rallies that oppose left/jihadi menace

But Most conservatives, patriots expect someone else will do it for them !

Jerusalem belongs to the Jews: An Islamic truth

In denying Jewish ties to the land of Israel, Islamists defy the Quran and cultivate a genocidal anti-Semitism

WHAT THE QUR’AN REALLY SAYS
by Shaykh Prof. Abdul Hadi Palazzi

http://www.templemount.org/quranland.html

THE QUR’AN SAYS THAT ALLAH GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE JEWS AND WILL RESTORE THEM TO IT AT THE END OF DAYS

THE QUR’AN SAYS:

“To Moses We [Allah] gave nine clear signs. Ask the Israelites how he [Moses] first appeared amongst them. Pharoah said to him: ‘Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.’ ‘You know full well,’ he [Moses] replied, ‘that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs. Pharoah, you are doomed.'”

“Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites: ‘Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel].”

“We [Allah] have revealed the Qur’an with the truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you [Muhammed] forth only to proclaim good news and to give warning.”

[Qur’an, “Night Journey,” chapter 17:100-104]

.……………….BTW, Palestine is NOT mentioned ONCE in the Qur’an!

How can it be that such a loving people
like the Jewish is rejected everywhere?

Certainly this cannot be due to the Jewish pe-
ople, who have always been innocent victims.

Slightly off topic –

Did you think Abraham Lincoln made this up?
“A house divided will not stand”?

He didn’t. It came from the Bible. Yes the Book others would love to see banned!
We need to get a handle on this division and expose the truth!

Lincoln gave the house divided, when he accepted the Republican nomination on June 16, 1858 in Illinois, when he was running for a state Senator position. His entire speech is here – http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/house.htm

This was Lincoln’s inspiration:

Luke 11:17
[17] But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;
and a house divided against a house falleth.

Mark 3:25
[25] And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Matthew 12:25
[25] And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand

Note the Greek word for nation is “ethnos” and it means race or tribe. You cannot deny that worldwide conflicts between ethnic groups, races or nations is not on the rise. It’s “birth pangs”. The opposition will accuse you of xenophobia, Islamophobia, being a racist etc. to put you on the defensive. Never mind that Muslims and others are in total conflict to our way of life and values. The name callers are the real racists etc…

Muslims and others are not interested in assimilating. By force or sheer brain washing, they want to change us to be like them and dominate us. Unstable and ignorant people are cheering them on as well as those with a globalist and Islamic agenda. Their goal is to take down our country and substitute it with a utopia that will never work. They have successfully infiltrated our education and you see the fruits of that with these protests. They are using our freedom against us to take us down.

The media and global elites purposely ignore the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Christians world wide as well as other groups. It has been escalating over the years and still they chose to ignore the rising anti Semitism and anti Christian and Judeo Christian roots of our country that has blessed us. IMO if this continues, it will come down to Islam vs. Communism. I still believe that Islam is just a tool to remove Judaism and Christianity because Communists have no use for any religion and require loyalty to the state. The state becomes your god. The 2020 election result will determine which direction we go as a nation. Till then, Trump will keep fighting for us. I only wish he had more people in DC standing up for him.

After Trump serves one or two terms, it is anyone’s guess what will happen next. Trump is a unique person. I doubt that I will see another Trump in my lifetime. It’s true, the majority of both parties don’t represent voters. They represent their donors and special interests over you. Trump made his money. Career politicians haven’t and are too tempted to put money over your interests. Other career politicians like Hillary can never get enough of someone else’s money . She is truly insatiable.

What will stand is –

Daniel 6:26
[26] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel:
for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

Off topic – More anti semitism funded by the Canadian government!

Canada: University-sanctioned antisemitic Muslim voting guide gets federal funding
OCT 27, 2019 8:00 AM
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

In B’nai Brith Canada’s press release “Canadian Muslim Voting Guide: Federal Election 2019,” Islamic antisemitism and an insidious attempt to influence Muslims (especially young Muslims) in Canada’s recent elections is exposed:

B’nai Brith Canada is deeply concerned after learning that a federal grant was used to produce a guide instructing Canadian Muslims on how to vote in last Monday’s national election.

The “Canadian Muslim Voting Guide: Federal Election 2019” was released by the Canadian Islamophobia Industry Research Project at Wilfred Laurier University on Oct. 18, just three days before Canadians went to the polls. Its front cover acknowledges support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), a federal agency that assigns research grants.

Disturbingly, one of the six “key issues” for Canadian Muslims unilaterally selected by the authors of the Voting Guide is support for the anti-Israel and antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement (pages 18-20). The Voting Guide purports to assign a “Fail” grade to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for recognizing that BDS is a form of antisemitism that harms Jewish students on Canadian campuses, and gives the same failing grade to Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer.

As B’nai Brith notes:

Research by B’nai Brith shows that the Voting Guide’s lead author, Jasmine Zine, received $24,923 from the SSHRC in 2018 for a project called “Mapping the Canadian Islamophobia Industry.”

We are seeing more and more of this conduct here in the
states. Obviously, those who commit the acts referred to in this article, are
unwilling to debate the issues involved as they likely have no meritorious
justification for their arguments, and they would find themselves on the short
end of the debate. Livni said it best in one sentence when he stated that his
country cannot allow those who violently oppose his people to harm them, as
that is the bottom line in all this Middle East conflict. At least the vocal
protesters did not themselves commit violence, as I expect they would be
inclined to do. Maybe the real heroes are the police who showed them out of the
discussion without incident. Good for them.

AT LEAST DUKE UNIVERSITY WAS PREPARED AND ALLOWED THE EVENT TO CONTINUE UNLIKE SOME OTHER PROMINENT UNIVERSITIES WHICH SHUT DOWN THE EVENTS WHICH WAS THE GOAL ALL ALONG OF THESE ORGANIZED GROUPS WHICH SHOULD BE BLACKLISTED FROM CAMPUSES BY FEDERAL FUNDING MANDATES! THE UNIVERSITIES THAT ALLOW THESE FOLKS TO CONTINUE AND SUPPORT THEM NEED TO, LIKE SANCTUARY CITIES, HAVE THEIR FEDERAL FUNDS CUT AND BANK ACCOUNTS FROZEN THEN ADMINISTRATION REPLACED SINCE THE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION HAS CAUSED THE UNIVERSITY TO NOT BE SOLVENT TO FINANCIALLY CONTINUE OPERATIONS! IF A NATIONALIST, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSISTENTLY DID THIS POLICY EVENTUALLY THESE LEFTIST ADMINISTRATORS WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR OWN CAREERS THAN PROMOTING LEFTIST IDEOLOGIES OR LEAVE THE UNIVERSITIES ON THEIR OWN! THIS WOULD BE A REAL SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!
