inn ^ | 2/13/12 | Rachel Hirshfeld

As part of the "Academic Boycott of Israel," BDS professors speak about how to most effectively demonize Israel in "every classroom."

In a breakout session of the “Academic Boycott of Israel” initiative, Amy Kaplan, professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania spoke about how teachers can most effectively demonize Israel in every classroom as well as the "positive aspects" of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Why is this bimbo even a professor?

And Professor of English?

Methinks this idiotess couldn’t even serve burgers at McDs without help. And she’s a “professsor”.

Sorta takes any remaining prestige out of that title, doesn’t it?

Non-muslim students should take a trip to Saudi Arabia and discover what apartheid really looks like.

If Obama was a Constitutional “professor” then I guess this idiot can be a “professor” of English. Being a college professor mean NOTHING these days!

Obama, congress and liberals still fail to understand:

Genesis 12:3:

3And I will bless them that bless thee (Israel), and curse him that curseth thee (Israel): and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.(Irael inserts mine)

It is that simple. We are headed straight down the drain. This is one of the reasons. America is being judged by God. Obama is there because God is punishing America. How better to punish us than give us a dictator? America is the largest producer and watcher of porn in the world! Still wondering why God is judging America? It is right before our eyes. Until America repents and returns to the Lord, this country is going down. That simple! A lot of people ask, "why is America not in any end time prophesy?" The above is your answer. America will be nothing by that time, especially after the Rapture of Christ's Church.

It's in the first book of the Bible but I can't quote so I'll paraphrase: People who bless the people of God shall be blessed but people who curse the people of God shall be cursed... Something like that. The point is, I think (and so do many others)that this nation has flourished for so long because of the part we played in the creation of the Jewish State and for the place of safety we provided to the Jews of Europe after the war. Now the evil of the anti-semite is beginning to descend upon our land and the glory of this nation is fading and fading fast.

“Non-muslim students should take a trip to Saudi Arabia and discover what apartheid really looks like.”

Spending their loaned money on that trip would give the students a better education in a shorter time than they could ever get in the classrooms of these professors. Remember they are PROFESSING their own beliefs not educating and it's government loans at hyper-inflated prices that is their support. Can we say governmental/educrat complex?

A, you know,Professor of.You know, English.

Who does she teach,you know, Basketball players?

Why are these Anti-semites allowed to teach in colleges.

If they attacked Blacks like they do Jews they would find themselves unemployable. Why is this allowed in colleges today.

With that name she either married a Jew or was raised one. Most likely a self-hating peacenik.

this is one tortured miserable bitch

who can blame her? half a lifetime already gone,
spent in the killing fields of American imperialism (sarc)
Oh she pines for the fjords and the academic life of the worthy oppressed in palestine

Here is who pays her bills - all traced back to endowments, big money sheltered by family trusts and bolstered by tax-exempt money solicited from and other invesments “managed” for probably many liberal Jews.

I don’t think it makes someone a self-hating Jew to not identify with Israel or to criticize Israel.

But when you start talking about how you can MANIPULATE students to hate Israel, then, okay, you are definitely a self-hating aristeropathic Jew.

*Aristeropathy = left wing derangement syndrome

Amy Kaplan, professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania...

As an English teacher, where is this bitch's mandate to propagandize anything, let alone a foreign nation?

Her bias and activism based on that bias should disqualify her as a level headed teacher of the English language.

And then there's the issue of antisemitism. Why is it wrong for everyone else in society to show racial bias, but this skank gets a free pass since it's only the Jews.

I would call for her resignation, but she shouldn't have the right to resign. She should be fired and the stigma of what she has done should prevent her from being in the position to shape young minds every again.

Isn’t Kapan a Jewish name??!!! I always tell my Jewish friends if they want to stop anti-Semetism they better start weeding out their own ranks. Hard to argue with a pro Palestinian Arab advocate if the surname of the speaker is Jewish!!

"Being a college professor mean NOTHING these days!"

I wouldn't go that far.

At most institutions of higher indoctrination...most notably all "Ivy League" schools...it means you're a member of the liberal pseudo-elite.

Further, those students might also further their educations by study the systematic ethic cleansing of Jews and Christans from Muslim countries.
