Brandeis University, San Francisco State, UC-Berkeley, and UW-Madison all made the list
Brooklyn
College (CUNY), Brandeis University, the University of North Carolina-Chapel
Hill and the University of Houston are among 10 American colleges and
universities cited by the David Horowitz Freedom Center as the “Top Ten Worst
Schools Supporting Terrorists” in a report
released today. As stated in the report, student organizations at these
campuses - most notably the Hamas-linked group Students for Justice in
Palestine - receive “funding and organizational support” from terrorists in
order to “whitewash actual terrorist attacks and promote the genocidal lies of
terrorist organizations, specifically Hamas, whose stated goal is the
destruction of the Jewish state.”
In
alphabetical order, the ten campuses are: Brandeis University, Brooklyn College
(CUNY), DePaul University, San Francisco State University, University of
California-Berkeley, University of California-Irvine, University of Chicago,
University of Houston, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
As revealed
in recent congressional testimony, Students for Justice in Palestine is a
campus front for Hamas terrorists. SJP’s propaganda activities are orchestrated
and funded by a Hamas front group, American Muslims for Palestine, whose
chairman is Hatem Bazian and whose principals are former officers of the Holy
Land Foundation and other Islamic “charities” previously convicted of funneling
money to Hamas. Hamas is a State Department-designated terrorist organization
whose explicit goals, as stated in its charter, are the destruction of the
Jewish state, and the extermination of its Jews.
“Students
for Justice in Palestine together with other student organizations such as the
Muslim Students Association, and Jewish Voice for Peace have formed a coalition
to spread Hamas propaganda,” explains Freedom Center founder David Horowitz.
“This propaganda effort was designed to destroy the Jewish state, annihilate
the Jewish people, and fan the flames of hatred for America as Israel’s
‘protector.’ Their mission - aided by funding and organizational support from
Hamas - is to whitewash actual terrorist attacks and promote the genocidal lies
of terrorist organizations in order to weaken the Jewish state, deny it
legitimacy, and ultimately destroy it.”
“American
universities such as those named in our report allow these terrorist allies to
use their authority and prestige to lend this genocidal offensive an aura of
respectability,” Horowitz continued. “Our campaign intends to expose SJP and
other supporters of BDS as fronts for Hamas and to press universities to cease
their funding and support of these organizations.”
As
part of this campaign to expose the links between SJP and Hamas, and to make
that relationship known to students, the Freedom Center placed
posters on the campuses named in the report which depict the organization
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) as a puppet of Hamas terrorists and
denounce convicted terrorist Rasmieh Odeh as a “Terrorist Murderer” who is
nonetheless celebrated as a “hero” by anti-Israel campus groups. Additional
posters also listed the names of students and faculty on each campus who are
instruments of the Hamas terror campaign. Each poster contained the hashtag
#StopUniversitySupportforTerrorists.
The
report and posters
are part of a larger Freedom Center campaign titled Stop University
Support for Terrorists. Images of the posters that appeared at
UC-Berkeley may be viewed at www.stopuniversitysupportforterrorists.org.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center, founded in 1988, is a not-for-profit
organization located in Sherman Oaks, California. The Center’s mission is to defend free
societies like America and Israel, which are under attack by totalitarians both
religious and secular, domestic and foreign.
