There have been innumerable articles and even books written about this question.

It is when the note contains a tangible threat, which is arguably true in this case. Likewise, it is directed at these students in particular, because of their religion, which is arguably a hate crime.

And, if this was done at the behest, incitement, or cooperation of a group, this may open the door to civil litigation based on conspiracy.

Many of the laws involved were originally written against the Ku Klux Klan, so if there is tangible evidence, like fingerprints and a video recording, the balance of the law, both civil and potentially criminal, is in favor of the victims.

Threats targetting Jews based on race sounds like a hate crime to me.

It’s a shame that no one evicted blood from these thugs by way of a broken nose. This isn’t a ghetto. You don’t get to tell Jews where to live and that they need to flee based on the whims of those who hate Jewish sovereignty.

Bet it is, it’s a violation of NYU policy to distribute flyers without authorization. Likely a violation of federal regulations regarding funding to target students by religion, which is why the group (and some in the administration) contend there are not being distributed to Jewish students. They’re for everyone, they just coincidently go mostly to Jewish students. At other universities they’re said to be accompanied by pictures of jihadists with knives, which isn’t intimidation. NYU will do nothing about this, neither will anyone else, but they should be called out.

I don’t get this anti Jew thing.

I just don’t get it.

The religion that hates us is left alone and the Jews are attacked.

It puzzles me——immensely.

The group doing the leafleting. They hate Jews, they hate Israel, they praise terrorists, and are suspected of ties to Hamas.

I suggest responding in like manner. Slide this flyer under the door of the members.

BOOM!

You have just been blown up by a terrorist bomb made by those sweet little Palis that you so love.

You now are missing a good portion of your legs.

Have fun hopping.

Now you know how Israeli's feel when they get blown up.

Well, no you don't.

For a truer experience please go jump in front of a train.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link.

I just did quite a bit of reading about these organizations at the links and learned a lot.

I was especially interested in the Irvine11 case,about which I knew nothing.

I was in high school when Israel was founded and we were all elated. My,how things have changed.

Sad,and frightening.

Yeah, there were a couple threads when it happened. Only an issue because they forced an Ambassador off the podium, through threat of violence. You just don't express opinions that offend the left, or express them at your own risk. Heck, Alan Dershowitz, a liberal, has been criticized for his positions on Israel. Here and abroad. But he was not only criticized, but threatened with prosecution over his opinions on the Zimmerman trial. That the prosecuter was, well, a tad unhinged. Wanted to sue Harvard too.

Your comment that you were in high school in 48 and people were elated, interesting. I wasn't ex-uterus quite yet, but for all the credit Truman gets for recognition, forget embargoing arms to Israel, it's consistant with things I've read. And it's worth noting that at that time, though the Nazi extermination of Jews was known, I don't think it was that big an issue. Support of an emerging Jewish state, in 1948, an interesting thing for Americans to have supported. Americans, not the American government.

[SJackson]

Prosecuted, I don't recall but I suspect the Zimmerman prosecutor threatened civil, not criminal, action. My mistake.

Mitzpeh Avihai is no more. Those were friends of mine, and they never got an ‘eviction notice,’ just Druze thugs in IDF and Magav uniforms busting the door down and ordering everyone out with five minutes’ notice.
