→ Anti-Israel protesters plan 7 October events
The University of Maryland will allow Students for Justice in Palestine to hold an anti-Israel protest on 7 October, the first anniversary of the Hamas attacks which prompted the ongoing war in the region, the Daily Wire has reported.
The University of Maryland has allowed Students for Justice in Palestine to reserve the entire 9 acres at the “heart of campus” on October 7, the anniversary of Hamas’ slaughter of 1200 Jews. SJP falsely claims Israel killed 150k “martyrs”+shouldn’t existhttps://t.co/6ijSf44AgH

The group has reserved 9 acres in the centre of campus for that day, meaning the space will not be available for any demonstrations focused on the civilian lives lost in Israel last year. The gesture is unlikely to win over hearts and minds but, then again, neither did the protest outside a memorial for 7 October victims in New York, or the “long live the intifada” chants at another protest. Perhaps the date is just a coincidence.
→ Priti Patel changes her mind on death penalty
Priti Patel launched her Conservative leadership bid today, promising to return the Conservatives to power through “professionalism” and “experience”. However, the former home secretary conceded an interesting shift in her political beliefs.
When asked whether she still supported the death penalty, Patel told the assembled audience — who had been treated to mango lassi beforehand — “The answer is no and you know exactly where I stand on law and order.”

In 2011, Patel told a BBC Question Time audience that she “would actually support the reintroduction of capital punishment to serve as a deterrent”. In 2019, she attempted to distance herself from the comments, saying: “I have never said I’m an active supporter of it and [what I said] is constantly taken out of context.” At least Lee Anderson is still holding the fort…
→ Stanford professors call for DEI reform
Campus DEI isn’t working, according to a new op-ed in the New York Times from two Stanford professors.
Existing programmes are “too ideological” and “exacerbate the very problems they intend to solve”, they write, citing campus tensions in the wake of 7 October. Further, proposals that Jews and Israelis should be added to the oppressed list within existing DEI frameworks “would only reinforce a flawed system”. Instead, they argue, schools need to teach students critical-thinking skills and pluralism.
The writers take pains to distance themselves from Right-wing critics of DEI, though the similarities in their arguments are hard to ignore. At one point, the article even states that universities should teach students “how to think rather than what to think”. Outrageous…

You mean for those who think they do not support terrorism?

And here are photos, from your same source, of Nazi ally – & founder of the Palestinian Liberation Movement – the Grand Mufti Husseini meeting with Hitler & touring the Nazi death camps BEFORE Israel was created. He who inspired the Hebron massacre of 1929 & planned with Hitler to extend the Final Solution to the Middle East, again, before Israel was even created:

Ref Oct 7: Confirmation it’s not pro-Palestine, but anti-Israel.
Pro Hamas. Pro Death Cult.
These people love anniversaries. The attack was itself on the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war.
It goes without saying. It is just a stick to beat Israel and Jews. All right thinking people know it despite the Orwellian insistence of mainstream media to the contrary ( who called these demonstrations pro – Palestinian? Are they? Is it so desirable to live with a Hamas government? Who knows what’s best for Palestinians? Everything is so mind-bogglingly absurd).
October 7th events? I’m lost for words. But it makes you understand how pogroms happen.
Shouldn’t everyone be anti-zionist? Why would anyone wish to root for nazis with Jewish faces?

And here’s a surviving telegram from Himmler to the same Palestinian leader, Husseini, from 1943 :
‘The great Nazi Socialist movement of Great Germany has, from its inception, rebuffed its struggle against world Jewry. For this reason it closely follows the struggle of the freedom-loving Arabs, especially in Palestine, against the Jewish invaders. The common recognition of the enemy & the joint struggle against it are what form the solid foundation between Germany and the freedom-loving Muslims all over the world.’
This references a man questioned in 1942 by the Haganah, and what he said regarding the Stern Gang, which was a terrorist group. This would be like judging all of Islam on the Mufti of Jerusalem’s alliance with Hitler at the same period. Though the Mufti did represent a much larger and more mainstream cohort of his religion.
I posted about Husseini because he is literally the father of the Palestinian Liberation movement (not some random Jewish terrorist). And he was an actual Nazi.
And, as you rightly say, he represented & still represents a much larger & more mainstream cohort of his co-religionists.
Brigitte Gabriel’s _Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America_ reminds us of the urgent need to take these people at their word before it’s too late & the west goes the same way as Lebanon: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2006/12/08/a-review-of-because-they-hate-by-brigitte-gabriel/
Are you saying Jewish people, including the civilians killed & kidnapped on 7/10, are like the nazis?
Hamas are worse than the nazis: they have the same genocidal goals yet they use their own children as human shields & human bombs. Even the nazis didn’t do that.
“Jewish faces?” Do Jews have particular facial features? is that a bit like saying “Monkey faces?”
News should peacefully march into 9;acre lot
Chant Kaddish. Get arrested if cops that foolish.let the Palestine group assault grieving Jews. All streamed.
DEI is just Democrat Endorsed Ideology.
So the University of Maryland has okayed a a hate protest against Israel and Jews everywhere. The kids involved know next to nothing about the history of the Middle East and Israel. Heck, kids aren’t even taught about the Holocaust anymore or read The Diary of Anne Frank like my Boomer generation did. Personally, I’m not happy with either side, and hope for a cease fire gets dimmer everyday. But the fact that the University has allowed anti-Semites to hold their protest on October 7 is just sick. Is there no decency?
Could they be so insensitive, I wonder. There must be a coincidence. Mix-up in someone’s diary.
Let them protest peacefully and let
these pathetic attention seeking, parent hating, temper tantrum throwing babies show themselves for what and who they are…
