Jew hatred on campus

I’m not going to mince words in this letter.

The real victims of violent bigotry in our country are Jews.

Jews account for just over 2% of our population, but they are the victims, according to FBI statistics, of over 60% of all hate crimes committed in the U.S.

And where is this hatred most virulent? Among less educated and poorer Americans? No.

This hatred is spewed most flagrantly by our intellectual elite on the college campuses of this country where university administrators allow Islamist brown shirts who support Hamas and Hezbollah to wage unending hate campaigns against Israel and the Jewish students who support it.

University administrators turn a blind eye to daily anti Semitic activities—ranging from intimidation and harassment to outbreaks of overt physical violence — against Jewish and pro-Israel students they would not tolerate if they were committed against students from any other ethnic group.

Jew Hatred has become the dirty little secret of American higher education.

Worst of all, no one was doing anything about this cancer on our campuses until the Freedom Center stepped up to launch a “Jew Hatred on Campus” campaign a few weeks ago.

Since then, we’ve been telling it like it is about the campus organization most responsible for this anti Semitic jihad—the Hamas-supporting Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP.) And although the fight is far from over, we’ve already succeeded in turning up the volume on the conversation about anti Semitism in our universities and colleges, supporting embattled Jewish students and putting the radical SJP on the defensive.

Just days after its official launch, the Jew Hatred on Campus campaign struck its first blow by placing posters at 50 campuses across the nation. Each poster features images portraying all sorts of brutality supported by SJP and their extremist allies. One such image portrays a Palestinian about to be executed by AK-47 wielding Hamas terrorists; another portrays a Palestinian civilian being dragged through the streets of Gaza from the back of a motorcycle driven by Hamas operatives.

But these “guerrilla” campaign tactics weren’t enough for us. We wanted to take our efforts a step further… …My colleague Ben Shapiro and I then ventured into the lion’s den at University of North Carolina, Boston College, Brandeis, Ohio State and other campuses to speak about the hatred of Jews that is not only tolerated by encouraged in our universities.

The Jew Hatred on campus campaign helped change the dialogue about anti Semitism on campus from “does it exist” to “who is responsible.”

Our campaign on Campus campaign has been covered in dozens of prestigious publications around the globe including the Washington Times, the American Thinker, the Jewish Journal, and the Breitbart News Network, reaching a cumulative audience of 100 million.

And just a few days ago I wrote an oped titled “Islamic Jihad Comes to Campus” for the Washington Times that was reprinted by several U.S. publications and by newspapers as far away as Israel and the Philippines.

And Ted, we’re just getting started…

Our next step will be to stage teach-ins on campus anti Semitism at UCLA, the University of Minnesota, SUNY Stonybrook and other schools later this spring and to keep the pressure on Students for Justice in Palestine, a group hat supports Hamas as passionately as it hates Israel.

We won’t stop until the SJP’s spewing of hate against Jews is seen in the same ugly light as the KKK’s spewing of hate against blacks.

We won’t stop until university administrations enforce their own codes of behavior and provide protection for Jewish students similar to the protections provided to other ethnic and religious groups on their campuses.

We won’t stop until this rebirth of anti Semitism is defeated and made into a history that is not allowed to repeat itself.

This is a fight we must win. But I need your help to stop Students for Justice in Palestine and the other Islamist brown shirts spreading this cancer of Jew hatred. Please make a tax deductible donation today to provide me with the ammunition to continue this fight.

I can’t do it without you.

For a donation of $35 I’ll send you a copy of Islamo Fascism and the War Against the Jews, the just published volume 4 of Black Book of the Left, a collection of my conservative writings. For a donation of $50 I’ll send you an autographed copy of this volume, and for a donation of $100 I’ll personalize the inscription.

I’m grateful for all you do for the Freedom Center and for our county.

Sincerely,

David Horowitz
