[from: Anti-African American racism condemned and anti-Israelism celebrated at UNM]
On April 20, 2010 AD someone made an anti-African American comment on the University of New Mexico’s—all things liberal—newspaper, the Daily Lobo which caused a firestorm of such proportions that one can no longer find the quotation and UNM’s president commented…[from: University of New Mexico’s anti-Israeli group?]
Thus, as of late we learn that anti-African American comments are condemned by the UNM’s president himself but anti-Israeli comments are celebrated in word, print, film, etc. The worst part is that no one will be surprised at such inequity in what is supposed to be a center of higher learning.
Guida Leicester, co-chair of Albuquerque’s University of New Mexico Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East (CPJME) examples just how one sided we can be even whilst pretending or attempting to talk oneself and other into believing that we are taking a balanced view.
The CPJME appears to be more akin to being the Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East by besmirching Israel. At least this is the manner in which Leicester’s UNM Daily Lobo came through as she writes that the CPJME was formed in 2009 when “a group of UNM students” were “angered” by what? By “the December 2008 Israeli attack on Gaza.”
This seems to have laid the foundation for a one sided biased group whose focus is not fair play and balance but anti-Israeli…
They sponsored “a talk by an ex-Israeli soldier” they discuss “the occupation” and “Israel’s blatant human-rights abuses of the Palestinian people” and will have a lecture by “Two Palestinian journalists.” Ok, now what about outrage at Palestinian actions??? Nothing to be said in the least bit!!!

It’s fitting that the Left align itself with the enemies of freedom.
The left have chosen poorly.
They believe Islam will rule the world and that they can rise in power by following who they believe will prevail.
