  1. Good to hear from you too, Dove. Hope all is well with you. Have been very busy lately, so I won’t be posting much. I’ve been reading the articles here when I get the time. Hang in there, Dove. Hello to Yamit, Mr. Ross, phoenix and Honeybee too.

  5. “Indeed, most people in the West are quite ready to denounce Jew-hatred when it comes from Nazis and other long-dead antisemites…But there is a deep resistance to straight-speaking, unobstructed analyses of far more dangerous hostility to Jews–when it comes from Muslims and Arabs.”
    -Neil Kressel

  6. “Arab and Muslim antisemitism is the Trojan Horse designed to undermine the West’s belief in its own values.”
    -Robert Wistrich

  7. “Names of said professors (if they are indeed guilty of such seditious acts) should be published, and moves should be made, if possible, to fire them. Certainly it should be made clear that they are being watched. Freedom of speech works in both directions.”

    The profs involved in this propaganda war are not the least bit afraid of being exposed, keelie, simply because they’re already known for their “anti-Zionist” views and are quite proud of those views. The BDS movement is avant-garde for all the book-bunnies. A fellow JDL member and I disrupted a BDS event at Trent University in Peterborough Ontario. There were profs at the meeting, part of the audience. We concealed our identity until we both started asking questions about their take on history and immediately they refused to answer our questions. At that point they knew were not there to be fashionable. The entire room refused to answer our questions or rebut our excoriations. The leader of the event, an Arab-Canadian, said to me, “I refuse to engage you.” It almost got physical until my Jewish friend threatened someone with physical violence when that person got too close to me. They backed right off and there we all were, standing there in total silence. It was so weird. Here were a bunch of people at one moment discussing how evil Israel was and the next moment, immediately their propaganda was exposed by my Jewish friend and I, they stopped talking altogether. They were such wimp-asses. Apparently they’ve cancelled the BDS event for the time being.

    My point is, they’re not a bit ashamed of their hatred, of their antisemitism; but also, when they are challenged with fact, as opposed to Arafat/Abbas-written history, they crumble. I would like to add also that it’s the JDL whom they really fear, no one else. When we took our coats off to reveal our JDL shirts, all the males in the room practically shit their pants. My Jewish friend said he actually saw the clasped hands of guy who thought he might grab me actually trembling. They’re not used to people opposing them on their own turf (turf paid for by tax-payer’s dollars, I might add). And these guys thought they were under the radar because they were in a university surrounded by farming communities. NOT. And I wrote emails to the dean the next day asking why the hell he allowed this event to take place on his watch but got no replies.

    And the Muslim students are the ones threatening violence and getting away with it. Some of them showed up at our Montreal event but did nothing when they saw so many JDL guys. I’ve seen this in Toronto and Mississauga. They’re the crazies in the crowd. And they’re getting away with it. They target universities because they can get into the head of the young and impressionable students.

  8. One of my nephews in California attended the University of California in Santa Barbara, majoring in English. He was, and still is a very personable, bright young man. But his ideas – still freshly induced by “someone” in university – are totally looney; irrational to say the least, although his native personality makes his attitude to these ideas, although bizarre, less than menacing.
    Question is, where did he acquire these ideas? From fellow students? From “professors”.
    It would be instructive if quiet investigations (via current and former students, as well as “moles” in the classroom) were held to find out the various sources of such thinking. Before anyone shrieks about freedom of speech, bear in mind that “professors” have a captive audience and this audience is subject to potentially life-altering punishment if there is any pushback on what it shoved down its throat.
    Names of said professors (if they are indeed guilty of such seditious acts) should be published, and moves should be made, if possible, to fire them. Certainly it should be made clear that they are being watched. Freedom of speech works in both directions.
    A professor of English should simply teach English and strenuously avoid political comment in his/her classes, as there is no need for that.
