The University of Michigan would not explain how it is responding to death threats and racial epithets that were reportedly issued by pro-Palestinian activists at students who oppose a resolution to divest from Israel.
University of Michigan police were first contacted last week after two pro-Palestinian activists shouted “threats of violence” at a student who refused to support their boycott initiative during a “sit-in” at the student government’s headquarters.
The Washington Free Beacon has further learned that the pro-Israel student received death threats and that others have allegedly been called “kikes” and “dirty Jews” by backers of the virulently anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which aims to delegitimize the Jewish state through economic means.
The atmosphere of intimidation and violence could leave the University of Michigan vulnerable to legal action and political retribution on a national scale, according to multiple sources in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere who are monitoring the situation.
Kenneth Marcus, a former staff director at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, told the Free Beacon that he has contacted high-level university officials to discuss the situation but that these calls have yet to be returned.

A great university lets in the Nazis and then let’s them act like Nazis on the university grounds. Result : disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Good Jewish and Christian students: go elsewhere.
Hillary supporters, no doubt, are the ones attacking the pro-Israel students.
Hey Gene Error, why don’t you take your charming anti-Italian jokes somewhere else?
This thread is about prejudice, in case you didn’t notice. It’s such a serious thread that I don’t know how you can even tell a joke. But bigots have no sense to begin with.
Anybody else want to chime in with their own ethnic humor? Come on, let’s all have some fun. Heck with the problem in Michigan, right? Can’t happen here.
We all know what is going on. Some animals are more equal than others.
Ah yes, the “liberals” way of dealing with others.
U-M/Ann Arbor is pro-Obama, pro-Muslim, pro-Dream Act. The Board of Regents are elected, mostly Democrats, not appointed. I spent 4.5 years working in the executive office, and the day I walked out of there was one of the happiest days of my life. A real snake pit.
It is time to start closing failed universities.
Too bad there is no Chapter 11 Bankruptcy procedures so failed schools can reorganize.
As a college freshman 40 years ago at another Big 10 University I was the only Jew (and New Yorker)on my floor of the dorm, I was subjected to some name calling from 1 student. I settled the matter with my fists. The result: great respect from the other students and the subject student avoided me.
No, all you have to do is run over an Italian. /old joke
College campuses offer a safe-haven for antisemitism these days.
The student groups are overrun with Islamist leadership partnered with the so-called anti-war (although they are all decidedly PRO-Palestinian war including support for suicide bombers).
