Princeton University cancels anti- terrorism event



Georgetown University deserves a page of its own for hosting the Palestine Solidarity Movement












Stooges for Islamofascism: Academicians and Academic Institutions

University of California at Berkeley:
"The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance" Course Number: English R1A LEC 4 Units Semester and Year: fall 2002 Course Description [excerpt]: "Since the inception of the Intifada in September of 2000, Palestinians have been fighting for their right to exist. The brutal Israeli military occupation of Palestine, an occupation that has been ongoing since 1948, has systematically displaced, killed, and maimed millions of Palestinian people."

On August 29th, the Bucknell University Conservatives Club sent out a campus-wide e-mail announcing an upcoming speaker: Major John Krenson, who had been in Afghanistan "hunting terrorists." Those two words--"hunting terrorists"--resulted in three students being called to Bucknell's Office of the President by Kathy Owens, the Executive Assistant to the President.
According to the students, when they arrived at the President's Office for the meeting, Ms. Owens held up a print-out of the offending e-mail and said "we have a problem here," telling the students that the words "hunting terrorists" were offensive. For the next half-hour, the three students were given a lecture on inappropriate phrasing.
Omdurman.org's response:
Dear Ms. Owens,
In case you have forgotten, this is what happened on September 11 2001: http://www.fdnylodd.com/BloodofHeroes.html. I encourage you to watch this video and then decide whether you owe the Bucknell Conservatives Club (and our country) an apology for calling them into your office to criticize their choice of words, and I will in fact go several steps further in choosing mine.

Although the Bucknell Conservatives Club used the verb "hunting" in the context of "locating" as opposed to killing, I want to see the terrorists hunted down and exterminated like cockroaches. If rabid animals, which certainly never wanted to acquire this horrific disease, must be put down for the protection of civilized society, why should terrorists who CHOOSE to slit flight attendants' throats, fly airplanes full of innocent people into buildings full of more innocent people, set off nail bombs in public places, execute female aid workers (Margaret Hassan), throw handicapped senior citizens off ships (Leon Klinghoffer), saw off helpless prisoners' heads, and commit similar atrocities be permitted to aggravate the (alleged) greenhouse gas problem by continuing to breathe? They are not even entitled to the protections of the Hague and Geneva Conventions and any that we bother to capture alive should, upon conviction by a court-martial-- their engagement in hostilities while dressed as civilians is enough to condemn them by itself-- be stood up against the nearest wall and shot.

Furthermore, if any students of Middle Eastern origin find the Bucknell Conservatives' statements "inappropriate," they are welcome to get out of MY country. This is not the Netherlands, where students were allegedly ordered not to wear clothing with the Dutch flag because it might offend Muslim students. There was a time when, if you told someone to haul down his country's flag, you had to have more guns than he did and the willingness to use them. The likes of William of Orange and Admiral DeRuyter are no longer to be found in modern Holland but this is the United States, where Barbara Fritchie told the Confederate troops to "Shoot, if you must, this old gray head/ But spare your country's flag."

The United States does not have walls or fences to keep people in who don't like our country and who don't want to be here. Students of Middle Eastern origin who have a problem with statements about hunting and killing the perpetrators of 9/11 are free to get on the next airplane for home. When they do so, they should pay special attention to the cockpit security door that is there to prevent their more-militant compatriots from seizing control of the aircraft, crashing it into a building, and killing them with all the other innocent people involved.

I am sorry if you find my phrasing "inappropriate" but our country is at war with monsters who would be delighted to kill every last one of us
and we are under no obligation to spare the sensitivities of those who object when someone uses the terminology of war.

John Daly, former adjunct professor at Warren Community College
Ganelon, the traitor who sold out the Frankish Army to Islamofascist Saracens at Roncesvalles, is the equivalent of a Judas, Quisling, or Benedict Arnold: a traitor to his own people and the lowest form of vermin on the planet. Here is a home-grown version.
Our ivory-tower institutes of higher learning frequently appoint middle-aged adolescents to positions of trust and responsibility for which they are totally unfit. Per WorldNet Daily,
"When Rebecca Beach, a freshman at Warren Community College in New Jersey e-mailed faculty announcing a campus program yesterday featuring decorated Iraq war hero Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, the response she got from one English professor took her aback.
English professor John Daly replied: "Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors."
I don't think Mr. Daly's general comments are enough to violate the following law but he may want to think about the following before he makes this suggestion to any members of our Armed Forces:
§ 2387. Activities affecting armed forces generally
Release date: 2005-08-03
(a) Whoever, with intent to interfere with, impair, or influence the loyalty, morale, or discipline of the military or naval forces of the United States:
(1) advises, counsels, urges, or in any manner causes or attempts to cause insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States; or
(2) distributes or attempts to distribute any written or printed matter which advises, counsels, or urges insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty by any member of the military or naval forces of the United States—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
Quite frankly, I am sorry this piece of subhuman trash was not in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Or even better, on one of the airplanes so he could appreciate the merits of the activities that go with "Allahu akbar!" at close quarters before improving the human race by leaving it.


Trent University Professor Michael Neumann
 From Freespeech.com "Trent University professor Michael Neumann recently carried on an email correspondence with a foul antisemitic web site called the Jewish Tribal Review, in which he wrote: 'My sole concern is indeed to help the Palestinians, and I try to play for keeps. I am not interested in the truth, or justice, or understanding, or anything else, except so far as it serves that purpose.' The Web site quotes Neumann as writing, 'I should perhaps have said I am very interested in truth, justice and understanding, but right now I have far more interest in helping the Palestinians. I would use anything, including lies, injustice and obfuscation, to do so. If an effective strategy means that some truths about the Jews don't come to light, I don't care. If an effective strategy means encouraging reasonable anti-Semitism or reasonable hostility to Jews, I don't care. If it means encouraging vicious racist anti-Semitism, or the destruction of the State of Israel, I still don't care.'"


Nicholas DeGenova of Columbia University calls for "a million Mogadishus"
Yet another middle-aged adolescent is unfortunately hired by an American university. Here is what this piece of subhuman garbage had to say.
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-continetti033103.asp
"U.S. patriotism is inseparable from imperial warfare and white supremacy," DeGenova also told the crowd, gathered in the rotunda of Columbia's famous Low Library. "U.S. flags are the emblem of the invading war machine in Iraq today. They are the emblem of the occupying power. The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military."
http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/guest_commentary/nicholas_degenova.htm
He made that clear at a recent “teach-in” on Columbia’s campus when he told the anti-war gathering that he would like to see "a million Mogadishus," a chilling reference to the 1993 ambush in Somalia that killed 18 American servicemen (it also killed several hundred Somalis).  "The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military,” spewed DeGenova.  For good measure, he added that those Americans who call themselves "patriots" are nothing but white supremacists.
Nicholas DeGenova certainly has the First Amendment right (protected, incidentally, by the men and women whom he is hoping will be killed by his Iraqi friends) to say this, just as I have the First Amendment right to express my wish that DeGenova had been in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001-- or, even better, on one of the airplanes that Al Qaida crashed into the towers.


Princeton University cancels anti-terrorism event

Princeton U Says Campus Event Against Terrorism is "too inflammatory"

PRINCETON, NJ: In clear violation of free speech, Princeton University has cancelled a speaking event by three former Middle East terrorists because it says that the use of the word "terrorist" in the promotion for the event is "too inflammatory."

The speakers will hold a press conference near the campus on Thursday, Dec. 8, at 6:00 p.m. The location will be announced in an updated media release the morning of the press conference.

"We believe Princeton is using red tape to stop the event," said Keith Davies, the executive director of the Walid Shoebat Foundation.

The event organizers planned to bring Walid Shoebat, Ibrahim Abdallah and Zak Anani to the Ivy League school to lecture on the terrorist mindset and how they were indoctrinated into terrorism.

Walid Shoebat is from a prominent family in Bethlehem. After joining the PLO, he took part in numerous acts of violence against Israel including the bombing of a bank. He was also involved in the attempted lynching of an Israeli soldier. Feature stories on Mr. Shoebat have aired on the BBC, FOX News, MSNBC, CBS and have been published in the Telegraph and Calgary Sun.

Zak Anani was a leader of the most notorious Arab gangs prior to Lebanese civil war. Before he age 16, he killed numerous Arabs in gang warfare and hated the West.

Ibrahim Abadallah was born and raised in Dearborn Michigan to a Jordanian father. At 17 he emigrated to Israel, where he joined the PLO. He injured many Israelis while rioting and throwing Molotov cocktails at them.

Princeton Censors Ex-PLO Speakers; Likely to Hire PLO Professor

Princeton U. Says Campus Event Against Terrorism is “Too Inflammatory”
Princeton University has cancelled a speaking event by three former Middle East terrorists because it says that the use of the word "terrorist" in the promotion for the event is "too inflammatory."
Two of the three self-described former terrorists were members of the PLO. Each of them apparently converted to Christianity. Here is the must-read story of one of the group, Walid Shoebat, who is now an ardent Zionist.

Meanwhile, another former PLO member is likely to be named a full professor:

Khalidi is Sole Candidate for History Position
Controversial professor appears to have wide support

As detailed in Campus Watch Rashid Khalidi is trying to weasel out of having worked for the PLO:
Mr. Khalidi dismisses the allegation that he served as a PLO spokesman, saying, "I often spoke to journalists in Beirut, who usually cited me without attribution as a well-informed Palestinian source. If some misidentified me at the time, I am not aware of it."
Here is another corroborating quote about being a PLO employee from the New York Times (February 19, 1978) that is not widely known because of an alternate spelling of the last name:
If the Israelis had any brains they could neutralize Palestinian irredentism just by giving back the West Bank," asserted Rashid Khalidy, an American-educated Palestinian who teaches political science at the American University of Beirut and also works for the P.L.O. "It would split us."
Khalidi and Khalidy are clearly the same person. According to the Columbia Spectator, he was a professor at the American University in Beirut before his first stint at Columbia:
Khalidi came to Columbia in 1985 after teaching at Lebanese University and American University in Beirut. He has taught in political science and history departments.
According to the New York Times, the Columbia Khalidi seems to have known Arafat from that time period:
Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian-American professor at the University of Chicago who has known Mr. Arafat since the 1970's, said he visited Mr. Arafat recently and found him battered not only by the Israeli siege that confined him to his headquarters here but also by the recent calls for reform.
Khalidi should come clean about his terrorist connections. Here is what Khalidi's employer did a few weeks after his Times interview:
On March 11, 1978 eleven terrorists, again coming from Lebanon with Zoadic rubber commando dinghies, landed at the beach of Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael. They killed an American photographer and a taxi driver and hijacked a bus, whose passengers, including many children, were on a day-trip to the north. The hijackers forced the driver to return to Tel Aviv. Driving on the coastal highway, the terrorists fired on passing cars from the bus.

When the bus approached a blockade set up by the police at an entrance to Tel Aviv, a shootout took place. The terrorists left the bus and fired missiles. The bus burst into flames and most of the passengers were either burned alive or killed by terrorist gunfire.

The massacre left 35 innocent people dead and 100 injured. The terrorists were identified as belonging to Fatah; nine were killed and two captured.
I have not been so embarrassed by my alma mater since Princeton hired Peter Singer, a proponent of the legalization of infanticide and bestiality, as a professor of bioethics in a decision unanimously endorsed by the Trustees.

(Big hat tip: Michael S.)

Update: The Daily Princetonian claims the event was not cancelled, only postponed, and that a serious argument occured between the head of the student group hosting the event and Walid Shoebat's representative. Unfortunately for the Mr. Shoebat, the head of the student group also happens to be the editor of the school newspaper. The newspaper's account of the incident paints Shoebat in an extremely negative light, contrary to what I know about him. (Hat tip: Patrick D. O'Brien)

Update 2: I just spoke to Keith Davies, Walid Shoebat's representative, for his side of the story. According to him, the lecture was approved three weeks ago by the Dean and the Head of Public Safety and that he received official notification from the school that the event was approved. Shoebat has spoken on college campuses before and Davies warned the student organizations that a pattern had emerged where left-leaning administrations have tried to quash his speeches by pressuring the students.

According to Davies, that is exactly what has happened in this case. Princeton's Communication Director led the effort to censor the event, and the students capitulated.

Davies denies the claim by the Princetonian story that the event was only postponed and not cancelled. According to Davies he was told this directly by the Dean who said that without a contract, there would be no event.

I should note that I witnessed the pattern of Jewish student leadership capiltulation a number of times first-hand when I was at Princeton. The Jewish student organizations were generally allergic to controversy. For example, Rabbi Meir Kahane (who was later assassinated in what many regard as the first American strike of the Global Jihad) delivered a heavily attended pro-Israel and pro-Judaism speech without the endorsement of any Jewish organization. Another large pro-Israel and pro-Judaism speech by a popular Princeton student (Yoram Hazony) had to be hosted by a non-Jewish group in the end because of its potential controversy. Yoram is now a best-selling author and founder of Israel's leading think tank, the Shalem Center. At the time, Yoram and I were co-authors of a one-page bulletin containing pro-Jewish and pro-Israel quotes by the likes of Mark Twain and Herman Wouk, as well as general and campus news clippings (similar to this blog) that we started mailing monthly to Jewish students. It had to be shut down after the first few editions because of attacks by much of the Jewish student leadership because of the potential offense that students might take over the unwelcome Jewish intrusion into their lives and the potential that some non-Jewish student might inadvertently receive a mailing.
