On Tuesday, April 1st, Students
for Justice in Palestine presented the Loyola student government with an
anti-Israel divestment resolution. But what they neglected to mention was that
they didn’t write the legislation themselves. It turned out that the real
author was Dalit Baum, a major leader in the global Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. Baum is not a student or faculty
member of Loyola or any North American university. She is a paid operative working to co-opt student governments into
following the BDS Movement’s malicious, anti-Israel agenda. And if she is
writing resolutions for one school, it is likely that she is writing them for
others as well.
University of California at Berkeley professor
and founder of the national student group “Students for Justice in Palestine”
(SJP) Hatem Bazian announced an “International Day of Action” to call for a
complete academic and cultural boycott of Israel on September 23rd-
the Eve before the Jewish New Year.
The anti-Semitic nature of the day included
calls for “No joint research or conferences with Israeli Institutions, No to
University Presidents' Visits to Israel, No Campus Police Training or
Cooperation with Israeli Security” in addition to demanding the elimination of
all study abroad programs in Israel. The effort is to prevent all academic
interaction with the Jewish state and to limit people’s ability to interact
with Israel and Israelis.
The attempt to isolate Israel extends to a
boycott of Jewish and Israeli on-campus organizations as well. Professor Bazian
has also commanded his group to demand “No to University Coordination and
Strategizing with the ADL, JCRC, AJC, Stand With US, ZOA, Israeli Consulate to
Limit Students Pro-Palestine Constitutionally Protected Activities.”
Lets hope our students are prepared for this latest round of anti-Israel activity
And tis clown has the effrontery to complain about Islamophobia.
