Intimate that once, a long time ago, a senator or celebrity touched
someone inappropriately or without permission and the media is on it like white
on rice and #MeToo hashtags on Twitter. Refuse to make a wedding cake for a gay
couple, and you lose everything you own. Get shot at by a white officer for robbing
a convenience store
while black,
you spawn an entire movement and Beyoncé will dance your story at halftime.
But at Rutgers, professors who hate Israel and the Jews are
free to use the classroom to spout their lies and their hate and if Jewish
students speak out, they're told it's "free speech." They're told
they have no recourse. They must put up and shut up.
Now it's important to note that in the U.S., there has been
a huge spike—a 67% increase—in
antisemitic
incidents this past year compared with 2016. Note too, that Rutgers has the
largest percentage of
Jewish
students of all U.S. campuses. Depending on whether those Jewish students
are New Jersey residents or from out of state, their parents may be paying upwards
of
$15,000 for them to be taught to hate Israel and to be ashamed of being
Jewish.
An exaggeration, you say? Let's take a look.
We've got microbiology professor Michael Chikindas, exposed
by
Israellycool's Aussie Dave, for posting antisemitic cartoons and sentiments
worthy of
Der Stürmer. Chikindas is not just a Jew-hater, he also seems
to be insane. The things he writes! From
Algemeiner:
Chikindas [published] multiple posts referring to women —
including Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, Israeli Culture Minister Miri
Regev, First Lady Melania Trump, and President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter
Ivanka Trump — as “b**ches” and in some cases “sl*ts.”
After sharing an article claiming to expose the “global
elite,” he wrote, “These jewish motherf*****s do not control me. They can go
and f**k each other in their fat a***s — you see, I really do not have anything
to loose (sic), hence nothing to be controlled.”

I don't know about you, but I would not want this insane
Jew-hater (who cannot spell) anywhere near my children. I certainly would not
want to pay $15k for the privilege of having my children sit in his classroom
where he might spout who knows what ugliness! To use a Jewish expression,
"Feh!"

But Chikindas is just one of Rutgers Jew-hating academics.
There's also Jasbir Puar, an associate professor of women’s and gender studies
at Rutgers. Puar has
accused
Israel of genocide; of mining organs for scientific research; and has called
for "armed resistance," which, of course, is code for "kill the
Jews." Puar also said we Jews use the Holocaust to "hijack the
discourse" of "Palestinian trauma."

There's a third poisoner of young minds at Rutgers, and that
is
Mazen Adi, who, for the paltry sum of $15K or so, will lecture your children
on international criminal law and anti-corruption. Perfect, coming from a guy
who represented the Bashar Assad regime in the UN. While he was at the UN, Adi
said that
Israel targeted civilians, trafficked in children's organs,
and buried enemy soldiers alive. He called Syria, on the other hand, a
"trailblazer" in the fight against terrorism, and told everyone how
Assad was committed to a peaceful resolution to the conflict (like chemical
attacks on civilians??). Adi is said to have spoken of Arab terror in class,
calling it a legitimate form of "resistance" (more code for
"kill the Jews") to Israeli "occupation."

Israellycool exposed Chikindas, and
Algemeiner then
reported the story. That made people aware of what is going on at Rutgers, helped
amplify this horrible thing: that these three dishonest, nay EVIL, people who
lust for Jewish blood have reached the highest level of academia and are
teaching your children (for which parents, many of them Jewish, are paying a fortune). Perhaps as a
result of this bit of media "noise," a town hall meeting was facilitated by the
Rutgers student government. The students were addressed by the president of
Rutgers, Robert Barchi.
And what did Barchi do? He denigrated
Algemeiner, which wasn't even the original source of the story (that
would be
Israellycool). He lectured the frightened, offended, angry Jewish students on
free speech. Something that just would not have happened had the professors in
question disparaged black people, for instance, or gays.
No.
Had that been the case, there would have been no
conversation about free speech. Indeed, Chikindas, Puar, and Adi would be gone,
kaput, past tense. There would be hashtags to tweet, the students offered safe spaces.
But there are no safe spaces for Jews.
At least not at Rutgers, where the largest concentration of American
Jews pay through the nose, for "higher" education.
