Yet Again, George Washington University Permits Antisemitism From Faculty
The Lid ^ | 15 Jan 2023 | Ari Kaufman

George Washington University has one of the largest Jewish student populations in the United States. So it could surprise you that the Washington D.C. private college is again caught in an Antisemitism scandal.

While showing a class some paintings of the Prophet Muhammad now cause your termination, the current state of higher education apparently says constructing an entire course on vile anti-Semitism is “academic freedom” and not a concern.

Last week, the pro-Israel organization, StandWithUs, filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on behalf of Jewish and Israeli students enrolled in GW’s professional psychology program.

The complaint elucidates persistent anti-Semitic actions by a vile creature called Lara Sheehi, who also specializes in “anti-oppressive theories” and calls herself “anti-fascist.” She facilitates the program’s mandatory course, and last semester, Sheehi regularly singled out Jewish students solely for their identity.

Actually, it should not; the most anti-Israel schools — Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, Michigan — often have large Jewish populations. By comparison, there are no anti-Semitic crusades at the 1,500-student Presbyterian college around the block from me here in Appalachia.

Many people say that anti-Zionist is not anti-Semitic. I strongly disagree.

And the money quote:

Will idiotic Jewish parents continue to spend over a quarter-million dollars in tuition alone for four years of brainwashing at that cesspool? Probably.

And I add, will these same idiotic Jewish parents continue to vote Democrat? Probably.

Of course anti-"Zionism" is anti-Semitism. "Zion" IS Israel. Zion is Jerusalem. Jews have said "Zion" in their prayers at least 20 times a day for thousands of years. "Zion" appears 152 times in the Old Testament.

Meanwhile, not a single inch of Israel in mentioned even once in the Islamic holy book, yet they claim that Zion is their land that is "occupied" by Jews.

Years ago, the 1970s & 1980s, GW was heavily populated with students from Iraq, Iranians, Saudi, and Jordan...

Anti-semitism was an inherent way of campus life...

I’m glad I left GW for Vietnam. Don’t like fighting the enemy on two fronts at the same time. I found VC and NVA defectors more honest than some college professors.

It is just pitiful that you are not exaggerating. I KNOW you are relating the facts of the matter.
