Rashida Tlaib Gets Behind Academic Boycott of Israel
Washington Free Beacon ^ | March 14, 2019 | Brent Scher

Posted on 03/14/2019 6:27:06 AM PDT by C19fan

Democratic representative Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) has gotten behind a push from anti-Israel faculty members at a small private California university to end its study abroad partnership with an Israeli university.

The move by faculty members at Pitzer College aims to suspend its study abroad program to University of Haifa in Israel until their demands are met by the Israeli government. Leading the charge is Professor Daniel Segal, an anthropology and history professor, who announced through his Twitter account that Tlaib was his movement's newest backer.

I was in Israel in February. Haifa is a gorgeous city and one of the most diverse in Israel. As the article points out 35% of students at Univ of Haifa are Arabs and I bet Christians are over represented as they are the most educated demographic in Israel. This school has nothing to do with what is going on in the West Bank. This is pure anti-Semitism. Where are Rep. Tlaib's tweets supporting boycotts against Communist China where her felllow Muslims are getting persecuted by the Chinese?

Smart move. No downside. Only upside to her. The considerable number of liberal Jewish organizations will praise her for her “refreshing honesty”...

It's gratifying that none of these lib professors that see racism and bigotry everywhere are Electrical Engineering faculty members.

The professor, Daniel Segal is a “proud Jew” who sees antisemitsm growing in America.

But I bet he’s blind as to where it’s coming from.

He’s a “proud Jew” who hates Israel.

That’s a weird stance.

I’m a proud descendant of Italians and I couldn’t care less if they started beating muslim punks like baby seals.

And I’m an American and Israel is a reliable partner. so only an idiot would want them to suffer.

You’re not giving NEARLY enough blame to idiotic whites/Christians/Jews who support the same agenda.

We can’t always point our finger towards the sea to find our enemy.

He/she is here with us and and a LOT are white as ghosts and not muslim.

Now THAT is anti-Semitic. Yet, because the Democrats of the House of Representatives could not bring themselves to condemn the first wave of anti-Semitic sentiment that came from Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib gets to launch into her own spew, with little likelihood of EVER getting pushback from the Democrat leadership in the House.

Good luck putting THAT genie back into the bottle.

Muzzies gotta be muzzies, and practice their despicable Religion of Terror (the “ROT”) — a religion of hate — even in our Congress.

This thing has no right to be a lawmaker. It’s ideology is incompatible with the US Constitution.

I wonder if there are any strong black candidates who might challenge her in the next primary. The only minority group she seems to be fixated on is the muzzies, yet she represents Detroit and 4 or 5 black suburbs, plus a couple of predominantly white suburbs. She apparently represents East Dearborn, too, but I don’t see that as being enough of a Muslim population to sustain her. The DNC will probably threaten any black who dares to usurp her, though.

I always thought withholding something, or someone, to get what you want prior to release was considered a terrorist activity at this level and with no authority to do so like a parent/child relationship. But this is consistent with the practices of Dan Segal from Pitzer College who is a lecturing socialist educated from the University of Chicago. Strange how that city seems to come up so often since it is tied in with the Obamas, the Clintons, and organizations like weather underground.
