• American Free Press ... Now Donald Trump knows the truth about 9/11 ... An activist recently got close to billionaire GOP presidential candidate Donald J. Trump to confront him over controversial statements Trump made concerning Muslims celebrating the September 11 false-flag attacks. Martin Hill, who maintains the website LibertyFight.com, had the opportunity to correct Trump, informing the maverick politician that he was wrong. It was Israelis, not Muslims, who were caught dancing and high-fiving following the terrorist event.
• Brian Boru Nov 2016 "One of the most significant results of this Presidential campaign has been the political awakening of millions of whites. Trump told them the system was rotten and rigged so it became permissible for them to state that openly and with confidence rather than having to first look over their shoulders or wonder whether the person they were speaking to was safe to confide with. The vicious and blatant bias of the media and the opposition were confirmations in the minds of millions that the system was their enemy. They will not easily be lulled back to the suicidal mentality of before. Even if Trump reneges on his promises there will be no more naïve outlook about the system. The distrust will become even more entrenched and the ‘extremist’ message of this site and all the others like it will become more acceptable to the majority of whites. From their ranks will come the infrastructure for resistance to the kikes plans for our extermination." alt right guy..

Here, readers learn, quite likely for the first time, that anti-Jewish feelings perhaps ran stronger in Poland than in Nazi Germany. The author cites a 1938 British Foreign Office report on a meeting between the Director of the Central European Desk and the Polish Ambassador: Poland's Jewish problem was much more serious than Germany's. The Jewish population was proportionately much greater. The Germans were persecuting the Jews largely for reasons of doctrine; in Poland the problem was a very pressing economic one ... The [Polish Jews] would make good colonists in such a place as Northern Rhodesia, and would be anxious to emigrate at the rate of some 100,000 per year.
• McDonald, Kevin Culture of Critique Jews have also adopted crypsis in order to take advantage of economic opportunities. There are many examples of temporary deception, such as Jewish traders posing as gentiles in order to avoid taxes levied on Jews in Arab countries (Stillman 1979), Poland (Weinryb 1972; Hundert 1986), and the Roman Empire (Grant 1973, 225). Reflecting these practices, in the early 5th century the Theodosian Code (CTh 16.8.23) prohibited conversions of convenience by Jews attempting to avoid prosecution for crimes and for avoiding compulsory public services, and in 787 the Council of Nicaea II prohibited such individuals from owning Christian slaves (in Gilchrist 1969, 157). Marrano traders posed as Christians when in Christian countries but revealed their Judaism when in the Ottoman Empire (Pullan 1983, 193).

During the mid-1800s there was no single German nation but a cluster of two dozen German-speaking kingdoms. Many nationalists wanted these kingdoms to unite to form a greater Germany, a nation that would rival the economic and military power of Britain, France and Russia. But the road to German unification was a difficult one, blocked by political obstacles and regional self-interest. Many who supported unification became frustrated by the lack of progress – and of course they blamed this on the region’s Jews. Anti-Semitic writers claimed the Jews feared a united Germany; they much preferred the status quo, with small, bickering kingdoms.

• Jewish Press ... 2017 You Think There is No anti-Semitism? Take the anti-Zionist Test By David Collier - 16 Adar 5777 – March 14, 2017 0 Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter tweet Photo Credit: freepik.com {Originally posted to the author’s website, Beyond the Great Divide} This is designed for people who think there is no anti-Semitism in the anti-Zionist, anti-Israel movements. If you know any, ask them to take the test. Before you begin. Imagine: Someone you are connected to continually posts racist memes and comments on Facebook. On his time stream are constant references to racial slurs, using words and phrases that are unacceptable in society. Viscous, vile, offensive posts that draw on awful stereotypes and link back to white supremacy websites. What would you do when you saw them? I hope, as an anti-racist, you would delete him from your friends list or at least confront them about their offensive views. You may now begin the anti-Zionist test. When you have finished, please pass it on to your friends, or other anti-Israel protesters you know. THE ANTI-ZIONIST TEST A few days ago, I posted the result of an investigation into antisemitism inside Palestinian activism in the UK. Since its release, I have received abuse and threats. Some of the more measured criticism has been absurdly to throw the line that ‘anti-Zionism’ is nothing to do with antisemitism. So, I have designed a test to assist in measuring the level of ‘neo-Nazi’ antisemitism ‘IN YOUR ONLINE ENVIRONMENT’. anti-Zionist test part oneThe test starts with an easy exercise in identifying blatant antisemitism. Do you consider any of these comments to be antisemitic? The Jews were behind 9/11 The holocaust is the biggest myth of our time Charlie Hebdo was a false flag carried out by Mossad to make Jews go to Israel Ashkenazi Jews are all fake Jews Kristallnacht was instigated by Jews to promote War against Germany Babylonian Talmud advocates sex with child age three Israel kills people to harvest their organs The answer to this question is ‘all of the above’ and there is little ambiguity here. Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians has nothing to do with any of the above statements. If you have been answering no to the examples above, then you hold blatant antisemitic views and you do not have to participate any further in this anti-Zionist test. If however you answered ‘yes’, then please continue: part two Anti-Zionist testPlease access your Facebook account.Enter each of these words / phrases in turn into the Facebook search bar. Then, by using the left hand menu, filter each of the results to see only posts on the subject made by ‘your friends’ or ‘your friends and groups’: search Mossad Khazar Isis Israel 9/11 Paris False flag Organ trafficking Holocaust Scan the results of each of these words in turn. Your are looking for posts concerning global conspiracy, blood libel or holocaust denial. In this context, use of the word ‘Zionist’ is clearly misplaced. At this stage you can be inventive, mix words, use others connected to historical Jew hatred. Given the research I released last week, your activeness within the anti-Israel organisations is likely to influence the results you see. The more active you are in anti-Israel activity, the more antisemitic posts you are likely to see. If you are highly active and you engage in street protest, your search request will probably be inundate you with antisemitic posts. These are the types of images you are looking for: antisemitic facebook These are only a handful of examples, and I found thousands of related images when doing research into people who claim they are humanitarian, pro-equality and anti-racist. You should be highlighting any posts that imply the mossad / Jews / Israel are connected to some type of global control, conspiracy theory, blood libel or anything that is denying the holocaust. The websites these people link to hard core antisemitic websites. These are just some of the websites that you ought to be looking for: (I am not providing hyperlinks because many of these sites are considered not safe for work). These are not ‘humanitarian’, ‘universalist’ websites who are based on sympathy for Palestinians, but rather ‘neo-Nazi’ sites that push white supremacy, Jewish control and conspiracy theories. Again, these are just some examples: www.solargeneral.org www.mycatbirdseat.com www.redressonline.com www.ihr.org www.dailystormer.com 911 truth websites www.davidduke.com www.theoccidentalobserver.net www.stormfront.org www.vnnforum.com www.theuglytruth.wordpress.com www.veteranstoday.com anti-Zionist test part 3This is a simple exercise. Check your friends list and look for someone who has made this or a similar edit to his Facebook profile picture: truth 9/11 (Note how the Free Palestine flag takes center stage in ‘9/11 truth’ conspiracy theory). Not everyone who pushes 9/11 conspiracy theory is an antisemite, but most of the websites that support the conspiracy theories have tied it back into hard core Jewish global control. As an example, if they are using a version of this profile picture, for them anti-Zionist, is about engaging with a website that thinks Jews control America and Israel is behind both 9/11 and Charlie Hebdo. anti-Zionist test part fourI am quite confident that if you are engaged heavily in anti-Israel discussion, and have dealt with this test sincerely, then you are now fully aware that hard core antisemitism exists even within your own social media circle. A few final questions: Have you deleted any of your friends? Were you surprised at how many you found? How did /would you approach the subject if you confronted them? Did you just excuse it, push it all to one side? If the posts had referred to classic anti-black racism, would you have treated it the same way? Given the history of Jews and antisemitism, imagine a state of Jews. How do you think this state would be viewed by those who hate Jews? As I know how much antisemitism exists on the anti-Israel social media networks, there is clearly something ‘more acceptable’ within left wing groups about antisemitism when compared to other hatreds. Surely this has to change? You can sympathise with Palestinians, without associating with those that hate Jews. Can’t you? Thank you for participating in this anti-Zionist test. Please pass this test on to your friends.

• Wikileaks .. ANTI-SEMITISM SHOWS ITSELF IN OFFICIAL ARMENIAN PROPAGANDA. Classified By: CDA Joseph Pennington for reasons 1.4 b & d. 1. (C) SUMMARY: Armenia's presidential election period bizarrely featured an unwelcome guest: anti-Semitism. A government-affiliated national television network aired a despicable, hour-long "documentary" of hate speech, that labeled the leading opposition candidate a "Zionist Jew" in cahoots with the Israeli intelligence service just days before the election; thousands of DVDs of the same program were distributed through university student organizations. State television news broadcasts continued the theme during the opposition's post-election rallies, provoking concern that a new and sinister element of hatred has become a tool of Armenian politics. While Armenia's small Jewish community continues to insist that anti-Semitism is unheard of in the country, GOAM efforts to denounce its opponents using anti-Jewish propaganda are, at the least, disturbing. Embassy complained to the government's anti-discrimination czar -- only to have her resign from the government days later, in protest over the larger political situation. END SUMMARY. 2. (U) As reported Ref A, in the days prior to the February 19 election, a viciously anti-opposition DVD began to be distributed primarily to youth groups and at universities. The DVD attempted to portray former President and leading opposition candidate Levon Ter-Petrossian (LTP) in the most crude and outlandish ways as, inter alia, an agent of the Israeli intelligence services and a "Zionist Jew" by virtue of his wife being Jewish. The documentary also mentioned by name the Jewish Amcit Country Director for the EBRD in Armenia as included in LTP's "Zionist plot." Surprisingly, the DVD's "documentaries" were reportedly aired on Armenia's second television channel, H2, on the evening of February 14, where, according to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed by some ten percent of Armenians watching television at the time. H2 is a privatized, formerly state-run network, whose owners are close to ruling party leaders. Its editorial policy is consistently pro-governmental. Among the basest of claims the program made was a "factoid" that when the former President had taken his oath of office in 2001--in front of the Catholicos, no doubt--he had not rested his hand on an Armenian bible but on a copy of the Talmud. (NOTE: Besides the preposterousness of the ancient book shown in the video being anything close to the 24-volume exposition on Jewish law, the claim drew in elements from the notorious Russian forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports that the Talmud is the Jewish blueprint for world domination. END NOTE.)
• Wikileaks ... THE RISING TIDE OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND EXTREMISM IN NORWAY B. OSLO 1141 C. OSLO 1047 OSLO 00001189 001.2 OF 002 1. (SBU) SUMMARY: Anti-Semitism and Muslim extremism appear to be on the rise in Norway. On 22 September authorities charged four men for terrorism in the wake of an attack on the main synagogue in Oslo and related threats to the Israeli and American embassies. Two of the suspects are of Pakistani descent, echoing a growth of extremism in the Pakistani population residing in Norway. This extremism is apparent not only in a rash of anti-Semitic acts, but also in public debate where the image of Israel and the US are warped by misinformation. END SUMMARY. ANTI-SEMITISM, OR ANTI-ISRAELISM? 2. (U) On Sunday 17 September, multiple shots were fired at the Mosaic Religious Community synagogue in Oslo. See ref A for details. Four men in their twenties were arrested on Tuesday 19 September, including two men of Pakistani origin, one of Turkish decent and one who is ethnic Norwegian. One was recorded as stating that the way to solve problems in the Middle East was to slit the Israeli Ambassador's throat. 3. (SBU) The Islamic Council in Norway has been publicly supportive of the Jewish community in the wake of the shooting, sending sympathetic messages through the mail (and the press) stating that 'we are all minorities and should stand together.' One imam, Nehmat Ali Bokhabi, also visited the synagogue in a televised news report. Nevertheless, this same imam was quoted the previous week blaming the US for bringing terrorism upon itself. During the Lebanon crisis in the summer, denunciations of Israeli policies from many imams were extreme. Elements of the Muslim community are clearly hostile towards Israel and Jews. Oslo's synagogue was also the suspected target of an attack foiled by recent arrests in Italy and several newspaper articles stated that Norwegian Muslims were to take part in this attack. 4. (SBU) Newspapers this summer were dominated by public debate on anti-Semitism in the wake of the conflict in Lebanon (reftel B), and there was one known battery of a Jewish person that led community leaders to suggest that their members not wear religious symbols in public. There were several protests by Muslim groups in front of the US and Israeli Embassies. The Mosaic synagogue was vandalized earlier this year on several occasions. 5. (SBU) The escalating extremism and anti-Semitism may be more acceptable due to the increasing anti-Israeli tone that has appeared in mainstream politics and press, which is a sharp departure from the very pro-Israeli stance that was the norm just ten years ago. Jostein Gaarder, one of Norway's most famous authors and writer of the best-selling book Sophie,s World wrote an anti-Semitic article in the summer of 2006 that garnered international condemnation. The resulting debate made it clear that a significant number of Norwegian commentators support his views. This was followed by a recent poll, which showed that Norwegians were the most anti-Israeli of any European nation during the military action in Lebanon. Another poll showed that more Norwegians blamed Israel than Hezbollah for starting the recent war in Lebanon, a view the Foreign Minister called 'wrong.' Norwegian student groups and city councils have called for a boycott of Israel (as did the Finance Minister before later recanting.) On 25 September the Israeli Ambassador in Norway criticized the Norwegian Royal family for not supporting the Jewish population during its time of need in the wake of the synagogue shooting. After criticism from both the Foreign Minister and the press, the Israeli Ambassador apologized. EXTREMISM AND MISINFORMATION 6. (U) The synagogue attack comes on the heels of declarations by two leading imams in Norway that 9/11 was directed by the USG against itself and that Al Qaeda does not exist (reftel A). The imams involved were from the Pakistani community, which numbers about 30,000 and dominates the public discussion on Islam and integration despite the fact that there are several other large Muslim populations in Norway including Iraqis (20,000) Iranians (14,000) and Turks (14,000) who remain largely silent. Other Imams criticized their colleagues for the timing and tone of their comments, but indicated sympathy for the conspiracy theories themselves. The Pakistani community in Norway has its roots OSLO 00001189 002.2 OF 002 in the Kharian district of Pakistan, and many continue to send their children to that area for their elementary education, compounding the difficulties of integration. Gang members from the Pakistani community are very visible and wealthy, and have been involved in acts of violence over the years that continue to hurt the public image of Pakistanis in Norway. The most recent event was a startling daytime shoot-out in the popular port area of Aker Brygge this summer, where several gang members were wounded. Any hope that gang violence would stay in the shadows of the immigrant neighborhoods was shattered. 7. (SBU) Immigrants make up a quarter of the population in Oslo, with an unregistered unemployment rate of 44 percent. In several areas of town the immigrant community lives is what can only be called ghettos, despite the public welfare system's generous funding. Of the three non-ethnically Norwegian suspects in the synagogue shooting, two were unemployed. The Pakistani population is in many respects the most established in Norway with 40 years of history in this country, but very few pursue education beyond the age of 15, and many continue to maintain close ties and even homes in Pakistan. Arranged or forced marriages with partners from Pakistan are still common, leading for calls to establish a higher minimum legal marrying age. Only two Muslims have ever been elected to the Norwegian Parliament, both women. This combination leads to a sense of disenfranchisement in the Pakistani-Norwegian community that is exacerbated by the public extremism of several leading imams and a lack of successful role models in Norwegian society. Additionally, the access to information is limited at times by educational background and linguistic ability, resulting in a proliferation of misinformation. In a recent article by a well-known Norwegian commentator of Pakistani origin, he defended the imam's statements that Al Qaeda does not exist on the grounds of free speech, but seemed most delighted that the imam was able to express himself so well in Norwegian. GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE 8. (U) The Norwegian government has not been entirely passive. In response to the shooting, the Prime Minister and Justice Minister visited the synagogue. Earlier, the Minister of Labor and Social Inclusion, Bjarne Haakon Hanssen (who is responsible for integration issues) was both quick to condemn conspiracy theories from local imams (inter alia saying that would hurt employment chances for Muslims), and was the first Minister to visit the Pakistani area from which come many Pakistani-Norwegians. He is publicly critical of forced marriages and decisions to send students to Pakistan for their education and expressed surprise at the amount of money that had been funneled into building homes in Pakistan from Norwegian-Pakistanis who were ostensibly committed to their adopted land. In recent years, the GON has dedicated significant resources to provide language training for incoming immigrants, and has tried to work with immigrant and second-generation youth to minimize inner-city violence. Nevertheless, official voices condemning extremist views are few. 9. (SBU) COMMENT: The shooting and threat of terrorism, which can be blamed in part on Norway's failure to successfully integrate its Muslim population, increases our concerns about anti-Semitism and extremism in Norway. Norway remains a very homogenous society, especially outside of Oslo, and the gang violence and religious intolerance is difficult for the Norwegian community to accept as a legacy of immigration. Extremist views in the Muslim community are more visible than before, after exploding onto the scene earlier this year in the cartoon protest. This combination of extremism and anti-Semitism is a surprise to many Norwegian authorities and with very few exceptions they seem uncertain how to combat it in public. Norway is justifiably proud of its reputation as a country for free speech, but this seems to hamper their ability to respond vigorously against radical views. END COMMENT. WHITNEY
• CAMPUS ANTI-SEMITISM CONTINUED continued from Algemeiner article ...  maintained a memorandum of understanding with An-Najah University, a Hebron-based institution with a history of ties to terrorism and glorifying attacks on Jews -- a relationship for which the California university president continues to voice support. SFSU was also the site of the near-violent disruption of a lecture by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat. No BDS vote has taken place yet at SFSU, but the school’s General Union of Palestine Students is actively pushing such a measure as part of its anti-Israel agenda, ... Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR), which boasts a substantial coalition of anti-Israel supporters on campus. The group’s president reportedly posted on her Facebook page, "I follow/practice the Boycotts, [sic] Divestment and Sanctions as if it were my religion." Last year, SPHR urged students to support BDS with a video featuring young children saying, "500 kids just like me were killed in Gaza..." A second group, McMaster BDS, promotes the isolation and delegitimization of Israel on campus, repeatedly bringing divestment motions to the Student Union. ...  Students for Justice in Palestine launched a campaign to remove products, such as hummus -- made by the Israeli company Sabra -- from the dining hall, spurring Brown administrators to promise to offer a variety of alternatives to food from the Jewish state. In March, students on campus held an event featuring the controversial Israeli organization Breaking the Silence, made up of IDF veterans who accuse their state of war crimes. Another event was held by anti-Israel groups to commemorate the "Nakba" (the "catastrophe" of the establishment of the Jewish state), on Israeli Independence Day. In October, Jewish student Benjamin Gladstone penned a damning op-ed for the New York Times titled, "Antisemitism at My University, Hidden in Pain Sight." ... There are more than 20 organizations on this campus that engage in anti-Israel activity. Among these is a strong chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which holds events like the International Campus Day of Action for Palestine and erects mock “apartheid walls.” Israel-related talks are regularly disrupted, including that of Israeli philosopher Moshe Halbertal, who was shouted down when he began to speak. In March, during an aggressive campus-wide campaign to pass a BDS resolution in the student government, Jewish and pro-Israel students said they felt unsafe and marginalized. The motion was ultimately struck down, due to efforts by pro-Israel campus groups, such as UMN Hillel and the school’s Students Supporting Israel chapter, ... The campuses of the City University of New York system have been the site of frequent anti-Zionist and antisemitic incidents, the most blatant of which took place at Brooklyn College -- among the schools listed as "hotspots" of antisemitism in a report conducted by Brandeis University and released in October. The school has an active chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, and the classroom often plays host to a political battleground between the campus's many Jewish students and their anti-Israel peers and professors. Jewish teachers have also been targeted. In one instance, a student in a group that crashed a Faculty Council meeting allegedly yelled "Zionist Jew" at a professor wearing a kippah. Though the college and the general CUNY system responded to widespread criticism by engaging in investigations of campus antisemitism, Jewish groups were disappointed with the results and say no meaningful change is on the horizon. ...  Canadian-Jewish media mogul Paul Bronfman announced he would cease donating money to York, when his attention was called to a virulently anti-Israel mural, called “Palestinian Roots” -- the winner of a 2013 student contest -- which had been hanging in the student lounge for three years. In addition, a BDS resolution was passed by the student government, with only one abstention, and five members of an advisory committee selected to advance “inclusion” on campus allegedly had a history of accusing Israel of committing genocide. But, the Jewish York community claimed a victory when one professor was fired for antisemitic social media posts ... UC Irvine, home of the infamous Irvine 11 case (wherein 10 Muslim students found guilty of disrupting a 2010 speech at the campus by then Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren were sentenced to informal probation), was the site of a violent anti-Israel protest this year. When a mob of 50+ demonstrators stormed a screening of an Israeli film -- shouting “Long live the intifada!” and “All white people need to die,” the filmgoers were forced to barricade themselves inside. One Jewish student who arrived to see the film was chased into a nearby dorm, from where she was rescued by police after calling 911. In addition, during this year’s Anti-Zionist Week on campus, a display called for “resistance” against Israel and glorified convicted terrorist hijacker Leila Khaled. In October, some 30 anti-Israel protesters disrupted an event featuring former Israeli Chief Justice Aharon Barak, requiring police to escort him and other attendees from the room. Other Israel-related events at the school have subsequently been held in secret, ...  anti-Israel activists at SDSU ambushed the university president and imprisoned him in a police vehicle, for what they considered to be his inadequate response to a poster on campus naming specific students as supporters of terrorism. Though a student government BDS resolution last year failed to garner the necessary ⅔ majority for its passage, it received a majority of votes. The divestment-from-Israel campaign is ongoing, with a substantial coalition taking part in the effort. One of the groups involved, Students for Justice in Palestine, said that it was compelled to cancel a scheduled lecture by Miko Peled -- who has called Jews "sleazy thieves" and attacks Israel regularly on social media -- after "Jewish allies confirmed that [Peled's] tweets were offensive ... Life at Stanford is reportedly “uncomfortable” for anyone who supports Israel. The anti-Israel atmosphere at the private research university in California is spread mainly by the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. In addition, the student government, which successfully passed a BDS motion, has exhibited antisemitic behavior. One student senator was questioned about how her Jewish identity would affect her student government role where supporting divestment from Israel was concerned. Another student senator objected to a resolution opposing antisemitism, on the grounds that it was "valid" to consider whether Jews control the government and the media. Though he was not re-elected, he did garner many hundreds of votes. Some faculty members, too, are outspoken BDS promoters, including among them leading anti-Israel activist Professor David Palumbo-Liu. Nevertheless, Stanford Business School students recently returned from an extensive visit to the Jewish state, and it is reported that Jewish presence at the school is strong ... Northwestern University was named a “hotspot” of antisemitism and anti-Zionism in a recently released Brandeis study. According to one student leader, anti-Israel groups, such as Students for Justice in Palestine and NU Divest, have “co-opted many social justice movements” in the effort to promote BDS activity. Though the Illinois-based school hosts a wide array of Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, it is no stranger to antisemitic expression. Earlier this month, a Jewish professor walking near the campus Hillel was given the Nazi salute accompanied by calls of “Heil Hitler” by a man in a passing vehicle. Earlier in the year, two students were charged with vandalizing a school chapel with racist graffiti, including a swastika ... Jewish students at this school (UofMichigan) have reported feeling isolated on campus. Pro-Israel and Jewish groups have come up against 10 different BDS resolutions in the past few years, most recently in November 2016. Though all have failed, anti-Israel activists pledge to continue trying. One group, Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE), assembles annual anti-Israel displays on campus, such as mock Israeli checkpoints and an “apartheid wall.” This year, such a wall was erected on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, thereby preventing a meaningful response from the pro-Israel community, members of which were off campus celebrating the holiday. Last year SAFE members attempted to impeach a student government leader because he proposed engaging in constructive dialogue with pro-Israel students. ... The Tufts chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine hosts a popular, event-packed “Israel Apartheid Week," marked by the demonization of Israel and BDS promotion -- though proposed resolutions have not been passed by the student government. A post on the group’s Facebook page called activist organization Students Supporting Israel (SSI) "literally a hate group." As part of a campaign called the Palestine Advocacy Project, large stickers were placed around campus that featured distorted quotes from past and present Israeli and Jewish leaders, portraying them as advocates of torture ... Jewish students and faculty at UC Santa Cruz were subject this year to several antisemitic and racist attacks. In three separate instances, the campus network was hacked, causing printers to spew out fliers adorned with swastikas; phrases such as “k*** demon” and the claim that “f***-ing Jews control the f***ing media.” In addition, activist groups hold annual Israel Apartheid Week events. Five UCSC departments co-sponsored, with the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a lecture in which Israel was accused of ethnic cleansing. Late last year, an event held to express solidarity with Israeli victims of terrorism was interrupted by SJP students staging a "die-in" and justifying violence against Jews with signs reading, “Resistance is not terrorism.” ... Hunter College was the site this year of an antisemitic demonstration -- part of the countrywide Million Student March -- heavily promoted by Students for Justice in Palestine. Though the march was supposedly about lowering tuition or waiving it altogether, at the event in question, protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted: “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea," “There Is Only One Solution: Intifada, Revolution,” and “Zionists Out of CUNY.” There were also reportedly shouts of "Jews out of CUNY" and "Death to Jews." A CUNY inquiry into campus antisemitism included an examination of this incident, but investigators concluded they could not confirm that it was specifically CUNY students involved.... University of Massachusetts, Amherst Amherst, Massachusetts In a landslide vote, the Graduate Employee Union at this campus passed an anti-Israel divestment resolution, while rejecting measures condemning antisemitism, and both students and faculty members continue to promote BDS on campus. One professor led a campaign to have the Israeli company Sabra, which produces spreads like hummus, have a “Boycott Israeli Apartheid” sticker affixed to its foodstuffs sold at campus stores. Over the past year, numerous swastikas were found in campus bathroom stalls, and dozens of white supremacy fliers were distributed at different locations. Some UMass Jewish students have complained of the lackluster response on the part of the administration to such expressions of hatred. .. DePaul University, Though this Catholic institution has stated that it will not consider divestment from Israel, DePaul hosts an annual fall Festival of Resistance, a series of educational and cultural events highlighting the "Israeli occupation." This year, printers at the school were hacked, and faculty was warned in an email that “antisemitic and white supremacist flyers [were] appearing in output trays throughout DePaul's campus.” A BDS motion passed a few years ago was recently defeated in the Student Senate, but it was a fight that pro-Israel students said was extremely challenging -- as the DePaul Divest coalition accused the campus Hillel of bribing student senators for their votes, ... Rutgers U, Several antisemitic incidents have been reported at Rutgers, with Jewish students -- who say they have a strong and tight-knit community -- claiming that the administration does not take their complaints about swastikas on campus and other issues seriously enough. The school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine regularly stages anti-Israel events -- among them the recent hosting of a lecture by radical anti-Zionist activist Miko Peled -- geared towards demonizing the Jewish state and promoting BDS. Rutgers is also home to a number of anti-Israel faculty members, most notably Professor Jasbir Puar, who accused Israel of harvesting the organs of Palestinians, among other blood libels, during a lecture at Vassar.  ... UC Davis, whose student body has passed a BDS resolution, has a purportedly “fragmented” Jewish community, members of which report being “fearful of retribution” for -- something that has caused the diminishing of such activity. Antisemitism and anti-Zionism are rampant on campus, and the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter regularly protests pro-Israel and Jewish events, such as an Artists4Israel exhibit and a lecture by Arab-Israeli diplomat George Deek. Earlier in 2016, swastika-adorned fliers -- asking "white men" if they were “sick and tired of the Jews destroying your country” -- appeared in printer trays across campus ...Ohio State: Anti-Israel student groups are very active at OSU, whose chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace recently co-hosted an initiative to shut down campus programs that sponsor free trips to Israel. Members of these groups vowed to monitor and record students who did not take part; vowed to impeach student senators who opposed the initiative; and openly threatened those who took, or were considering taking, the trips. Though a BDS motion failed twice to pass a student government vote, the effort to promote divestment from Israel continues. As part of that effort, activists engaged in an eight-hour "occupation" of the space outside the university president's office -- leaving the premises only after being threatened with expulsion and arrest. OSU was also the site of the November 28 car-ramming and mass stabbing attack, committed by a radical Muslim student, who was shot and killed by police. ... Wesleyan's student assembly voted in favor of a BDS motion a few years ago, and the Wes Divest coalition leading the anti-Israel initiative continues its attempts to push the university to boycott the Jewish state. The school's chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace are highly active, staging events and programs throughout the year that amplify virulently anti-Israel and antisemitic voices. A main focus of SJP is support for "#FreeRasmea," the effort to get convicted Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odea absolved of charges in the US for “unlawful procurement of naturalization," after she lied about being a convicted murderer in Israel. ... UNC: Antisemitism at the University of North Carolina does not receive a lot of national attention, but one student said she believes the UNC school system may be heading the way of the infamously anti-Israel University of California campuses. Students have reported being spat on when wearing Stars of David or IDF sweatshirts, and say the administration has done little to protect the school’s Jewish population. The UNC Hillel chapter recently hired a rabbi who has led anti-Israel tours of the Jewish state. ... Harvard: During the Q&A period following a lecture delivered by a former Israeli foreign minister at the Harvard Law School in April, MK Tzipi Livni was asked by a supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine why she was "so smelly.” The administration called the incident an “embarrassment,” but officials and students worked to maintain the anonymity of the individual who had made the remark, so as not to derail his future job prospects. In other incidents at the Law School, an anti-Israel student group falsely claimed its activities were being suppressed by outside pro-Israel donors, and a visiting professor received a postcard filled with offensive messages, including the German phrase, "Juden raus” (“Jews out”). At the undergraduate school, an Iranian professor who regularly derides Israel and the Jews -- and is aligned with the Islamist regime in Tehran -- was employed as a visiting scholar ... University of Texas, Austin: This year, Jewish and pro-Israel students at UT Austin withdrew support from a program featuring renowned American-Israeli writer Caroline Glick, out of fear that her staunch conservative message might anger anti-Zionist peers with whom they were attempting to make alliances. The anti-Israel activism network on campus makes its presence known through an annual Israeli Apartheid Week, and previously disrupted an Israel Studies lecture, engaging in a smear campaign against an Israeli faculty member. Though the Zionist and Jewish community on campus is significant, the student body’s attitude toward Israel is reported to be "generally apathetic ... University of Illinois: UIUC has seen a steady stream of attempts to demonize and delegitimize Israel. In 2014-15, the school made headlines when it first offered a teaching position to anti-Israel activist Steven Salaita and then retracted it, when the board discovered a series of antisemitic tweets he had posted following Operation Protective Edge, Israel's 2014 war against Hamas in Gaza. More recently, after participating in "A Roundtable Discussion of Racism, Antisemitism: On Campus and Beyond” -- the president of the school's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter announced: "I have no will, no desire and, quite frankly, no f***ing time to deal with Zionist bullshit." Last year, the menorah at the school's Chabad house was vandalized three times. However, there is a strong grassroots pro-Israel student movement at UIUC, with a supportive on-campus Jewish leadership. ... Georgetown: Antisemitic graffiti has been found at this premier DC-based institution, most recently in a bathroom at the medical school. Dozens of faculty members have expressed their support for divestment from Israel, and some have ties to a group suspected of being a front for the Muslim Brotherhood. Though no student resolution for BDS has yet been put to a vote, the school's highly active Students for Justice in Palestine chapter is focused on its campaign to delegitimize Israel on campus. However, an attempt in September to disrupt a panel discussion on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was quickly and efficiently derailed by the moderator, winning praise from pro-Israel students ... Syracuse: Faculty, not students, lead the charge for divestment from Israel at Syracuse. One professor cited threats from and worries about BDS-supporting colleagues as her reason for rescinding an invitation to an Israeli filmmaker to speak on campus. Jewish and anti-BDS scholars found the incident "disgraceful and shameful," and argued it was in violation of Syracuse University policy, the principles of academic freedom and the First Amendment. BDS-supporting professors, for their part, subsequently denied they'd had anything to do with the cancellation. A month later, 37 Syracuse University community members published a letter asserting their support for academic freedom, while simultaneously urging the boycott of a conference on conflict resolution, because it was co-sponsored by Tel Aviv University ... Swastikas and other white supremacy symbols were found on the University of Wisconsin, Madison campus over the past year. Ranked regularly as one of the 50 top schools in America -- and a popular choice among Jewish students -- it has an active Students for Justice in Palestine chapter. The university's Teaching Assistants’ Association voted in favor of adopting a BDS resolution, and called on both the union's international parent labor organization and the University of Wisconsin System to divest from Israel. ... University of Tennesee: Campus watchdog group Canary Mission described a "cesspool" of antisemitism at this university, after students and alums associated with the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine were found to be vocalizing and promoting anti-Jewish rhetoric on social media. One such post lauded Hitler as "a boss." Jewish organizations slammed UTK for its "tepid" response to the allegations and said administrators were refusing to recognize a serious problem on campus.
• Politico When the Senate begins to consider President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to run the Department of Education, Congress should focus on the surge of anti-Semitism that continues to plague our nation’s campuses. Over the past few years, anti-Semitism has reached a tipping point around the country. The FBI reported that there were more Jewish hate crime victims last year than victims of all other religious groups combined. Nowhere is this problem worse than on college campuses where anti-Semitic incidents are escalating at an alarming rate. More than half of Jewish students reported experiencing or witnessing anti-Semitism in 2014 and 2015, according to two recent studies. Another study showed a 45 percent increase in campus anti-Semitism in the first half of 2016, compared with the first half of 2015. This year, the numbers are likely to be even worse: In the 10 days following November’s election, the Southern Poverty Law Center recorded no fewer than 100 incidents of anti-Semitic hate in the United States. ... search terms: OCR Office of Civil Rights, definition of anti-Semitism, religious discrimination, ancestral discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, State Dept definition of anti-Semitism: “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.

• JPost Spain’s Valencia region reportedly adopted a boycott against Israel as its official policy. A vote on Israel at the Provincial Council of Valencia, a semi-autonomous region with over 250 municipalities and 2.5 million inhabitants, took place during a general assembly on Dec. 29, according to the local faction of the far-left party València en Comú, which submitted the motion with other far-left factions. ... “It is a grand success for the Palestinian cause,” the statement also read, vowing to “keep on fighting until Palestine is free.” ... n Santiago de Compostela, the City Council was criticized after local media reported that its BDS motion, which is nonbinding and declarative, may have prompted El Al, the Israeli national airline, to abandon plans to add a flight to the cash-strapped tourist city.

Last year, the University of California declined to adopt that definition based on concerns that it would violate the First Amendment by deterring pro-Palestinian activism.

Juliane Baer-Henney, a spokeswoman for the German Justice Ministry, confirmed to the Post on the phone Wednesday that antisemitism in Germany has risen threefold in one year – 2,083 cases of attacks on Jews, Jewish property and hate speech against Jews last year, compared with 691 in 2014. Be the first to know - Join our Facebook page. “There is a rejection of mainstream politics, and we need to be aware of the waves of antisemitism sweeping across Europe,” Conference of European Rabbis president Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt said. “As a society we must take measures to reject antisemitism and ensure that it does not become a new norm.”
• The Heretical There are some who regard this kind of word-juggling as a peculiar talent of those mystical Zionists who are involved with the esoteric doctrines of Kabbalism. In these arcane and little-known affairs, letters and syllables take on a bizarre significance not found in any other tongue. “Occult” experts today declare that there are certain vocal sounds and calligraphic shapes that can be used to conjure up powerful reactions in the everyday world of phenomena. This supposedly is why Hebrew is the pre-eminent language of sorcery, just as the six-pointed Star of David on the Zionist flag is perhaps the most common symbol in the “black arts.” Whatever the truth of all this may be – and science today is approaching closer to the long-derided “irrational” side of experience – there is no question of Zionist word wizardry in view of their success in making the ridiculous neologism “anti-Semitism” a powerful psychological weapon. Nothing is surprising in this fraud-ridden business: it is a fact that the “anti-Semitism” conceit was coined in a half-jocular way by a 19th century Jewish journalist named Wilhelm Marr. That Marr himself was “anti-Semitic” is only one more wrinkle in the swirl. MORE

• Institute for Historical Revew ... The addition of "Holocaust Studies" to school curriculum has emerged as a growth industry in American education. Courses are being included for high school and college students, with the objective that no one may pass through the Halls of Ivy without becoming familiar with "the historical record of Jewish victimization." Courses require textbooks, and Nationalism & Antisemitism in Europe 1815-1945, by Shmuel Almog, is the first in a series prepared for use by college students and high school instructors by the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in cooperation with the Zalman Shazar Center for Jewish History of the Historical Society of Israel. Editions are simultaneously being made available in the United States, Britain, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Japan and the People's Republic of China. In his preface, Prof. Almog admits that the drive to focus attention on this topic has been prompted as a response to "the revisionist denial that the Holocaust ever occurred, or the attempt to diminish its magnitude." Revisionism and the new wave of nationalism sweeping through the former satellites of the crumbling Soviet Empire "obligate us to probe the history of Jew-hatred (and) the persistence of this phenomenon." ... What the author seeks to reveal is the persistence and continuity of anti-Jewish sentiment throughout Europe following the fall of Napoleon. Wherever peoples strove for self-determination, Jews were viewed with distrust by patriotic elements. Consequently, Almog observes, "modern antisemitism is incomprehensible without reverence to nationalism."
• CNN Dec 2016 The UK government will adopt an international definition of anti-Semitism in order to tackle rising levels of hatred expressed towards Jewish people.

The wording can be adopted by the police, councils, universities and public bodies in order to "call out" anti-Semites, according to the British Prime Minister, Theresa May -- although it is not legally binding. ...

The comparison of a Nazi concentration camp to the European Union offended many. In another tweet, Kammenos pondered aloud whether Jewish people were responsible for the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. “And let’s not forget 9/11.

Let’s step back for a moment and compare that to the 95 incidents between January and February 2017. That’s a 10% increase. It could be more once all the data comes in. Second, the amplification effect of social media has changed the impact of a single incident. It’s also not entirely true that anti-Semitic incidents that took place in the Obama years were ignored by the media, let alone the ADL. ...

On this year’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Trump White House issued a statement that didn’t mention Jews. Trump has been alarmingly quiet about anti-Jewish threats ... Through two February press conferences — one held alongside the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu — the president could barely utter the phrase “anti-Semitism,” let alone condemn it, and dodged pointed questions about the increasing anxiety in the Jewish community. It took Trump until February 22 to actually call the threats to the Jewish community “horrible.” In his February 28 address to Congress, Trump proclaimed that “we are a country united in condemning hate.” But he appeared to undermine that message by having wondering aloud, the day before, if the attacks were faked to harm him politically. That’s preposterous. An ADL/ProPublica study published March 8 noted that “[a]fter years of decline, anti-Semitic crimes began trending upward in 2015, according to FBI data.” The increase, the study noted, seemed to have “accelerated” over the course of the second half of the election, “as Trump’s unique brand of nativist populism has helped to pull more extreme right-wing groups, some of them avowedly racist, closer to the political mainstream”:
