What the hell, We don't need to boycott Israel as trump just gave Israel to Putin. Plus he may have just started world war three. Now Russians and that bastard in charge of Syria are combining together to fight the Turks. Brilliant you fucking idiot in the Whitehouse. When will you blind idiots on the right understand what trump wants and that is to President for life then pass it on to his crooked children.

Wow, you're a real dumbfuck.

“This exercise was part of a university program created to help students learn to share diverse ideas and perspectives that lead to new understanding. Instead of fostering dialogue, it incited division, distrust and anger,” Jones wrote. “The program allowed our students to enter an extremely challenging and potentially volatile situation without the preparation, training, education and professional oversight they needed to succeed. This is inexcusable and unacceptable. This is a failure to our students, and that is my responsibility.”

All housing staff and resident advisers will be required to undergo anti-Semitism training, Jones said.

The Illini Public Affairs Committee, which works to support US-Israel relations at the University, called the presentation “a narrative of demonization of Israel and its citizens and Jewish students.”

The International Judo Federation imposed an indefinite ban on Iran’s team until it promises to end a long-running boycott of Israel.

The IJF’s disciplinary commission said the ban will stand “until the Iran Judo Federation gives strong guarantees and proves that they will respect the IJF Statutes and accepts that their athletes fight against Israeli athletes.”

The Czech parliament passed a resolution Tuesday condemning boycotts of Israel and all forms of anti-Semitism.

The resolution was passed following a spate of anti-Semitic incidents across Europe and a similar decision by the German parliament calling the BDS movement anti-Semitic.

From MyCentralJersey:

The controversial "P is for Palestine" book reading went on as planned Sunday at the Highland Park Public Library, after being rescheduled from May.

About four adults and three children attended the event. Those inside, which included borough resident Lisa Ben-Haim, were members of the local Jewish community, Ben-Haim said.

“It started at 2 and she rambled until almost 3 o'clock, and then she started reading from the book,” Ben-Haim said. “All of us had planned to walk out in protest when she got to 'I is for Intifada,' but it was so painful sitting there listening to her, we walked out at E."

Protesters of the reading appeared outside the venue. With about 125 of all ages, the group was on hand to "let their voices be heard," Ben-Haim said. She added that the protesters had posters and were present to mark that they felt the event was "inappropriate."

There were a handful of supporters on the opposite side of the street, said borough resident Josh Pruzansky. The road was closed, and 10 police officers ensured the safety and security of both groups.

This is a peaceful protest, Pruzansky said, but the author, Golbarg Bashi, "supports the BDS movement."

"We don't want her speaking to our children in a community library," he said. "She is a person who sponsors hate, sponsors violence. BDS was called antisemitism by the United Nations, by the U.S. Congress, by the Parliament of Germany. It was called antisemitism by the state of New Jersey. Why are we bringing an anti-Semite to our library to speak to our children on a Jewish holiday?"



Here was the pathetic counter-protest with about three people:

Protesters against drone giant facing trial

Activists will plead not guilty at a hearing on Wednesday to aggravated trespass at an Israeli arms factory in Britain earlier this year.

If it comes to a full court case, the “Elbit-Instro Seven” are likely to argue that activities by Elbit – a maker of weapons used in attacks on Gaza – are illegal.

The group says it shut down the new arms factory for two days in August, by blockading the main gate.

Elbit is Israel’s largest arms producer. The company describes its drones as “the backbone” of Israel’s drone fleet.

The drones were used during Israel’s 2014 assault on the Gaza Strip, which killed more than 2,200 Palestinians, including 550 children.

Other groups of activists taking similar non-violent direct action against Elbit factories in the UK recently have been released without charge.

Hacker found guilty of "terror and intimidation" against Palestine activists

A French court has confirmed the conviction of a Jewish extremist for hacking the computers of Palestine solidarity activists.

CAPJPO-EuroPalestine, the group targeted by the hacker, said that the court of appeal in Paris last week sentenced “Jonathan B.” to eight months in prison with suspension and $26,000 in damages and fines.

The perpetrator, who has been previously named as Jonathan Bouaziz, is a member of the Brigade Juive, or Jewish Brigade, a pro-Israel extremist group.

In April 2016, Bouaziz hacked into the computers of two activists, Olivia Zémor and Nicolas Shahshahani, and stole their data and mailing lists.

The following June, many Palestine solidarity activists received death threats signed by Brigade Juive, threatening to “scalp you one by one.”

[ How long before India reverses this decision?]

Telegraph India reports that on October 14, students at Jamia Millia Islamia University protested a medical infrastructure expo hosted at the university in which Israel showed some innovations.

The international conference titled "Global Health Zenith Confluence ’19" was seemingly organized by the Faculty of Architecture and Ekistics, which now denies any involvement. When students found out that there was going to be an Israeli presence, they protested.

Five students were being charged with discipline violations for their violent protest. Other students went on strike in solidarity, paralyzing the university.

On Wednesday, the university caved into all their demands. Besides giving amnesty to the students, the demand included an agreement that no Israelis would be allowed to participate in any university program.

Ironically, the students are calling this a victory for "freedom of expression."
