An excellent article about a swift kick in the teeth to the Jew-hating parasites that thrive on revisionism and mendacity on American campuses, by Lee Kaplan via FrontPage Magazine: In a powerful blow to the anti-Israel movement on American campuses, the University of California at Riverside has canceled the Fifth Annual International Al Awda Conference that was scheduled to take place there on the weekend of May 24-26th. This marks only the second time that an American university has declined unconditionally to host an anti-Jewish hate fest that masquerades as an educational event about the Middle East (the other campus

It is truly a coalition of the leftover Left- a group seeking anxiously to create a new umbrella cause that they hope can be for their generation what Vietnam was for that of their parents. DAFKA.org (an acronym for Defending America For Knowledge and Action) is a

A case in point is Diablo Valley College, a community college nestled in the sleepy bedroom community of Pleasant Hill, California. As previously documented on FrontPage, the college is the home of Amer Araim, a San Francisco Bay Area imam who doesn’t teach relevant facts or history in the classroom about Israel and who encourages his students to oppose Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. In

They do pop up from time to time.” “Divest from Israel in favor of what?” he asked. Hamas and Hizbullah? “It’s a very negative message.” Howard University President H. Patrick Swygert rejected a faculty resolution calling on the school to divest from companies doing business with Israel. “Without qualification, Howard University and I oppose any action calling for a divestiture,” he stressed in a letter Thursday to the American Jewish Committee.

That would likely come as news to the Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley. While the school is touted as one of the premier educational institutions in the country, it is affiliated with a law student association on the UC campus, Law Students for Justice in Palestine (LSJP), whose anti-Israel campaign actually advocates lawbreaking. It is a measure of its prominence on campus that LSJP

From UC-Intifada: On Jan. 31, Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes gave a talk at the University of California at Irvine titled, “The Threat to Israel’s Existence.” Roughly 100 members of UCI’s Muslim Student Union occupied the central seats in the lecture hall, most wearing t-shirts reading “UC Intifada.” A coordinated disruption began about five minutes into the talk. After the protesters exited the building while chanting slogans, student Reut Cohen followed the MSU students outside with her video camera running. Cohen’s video of an organizer of the protest declaring: “It’s just a matter of time before the State of Israel
