BDS is this century’s Nazi movement, only on a worldwide scale. Same tactics, same viciousness, same lies, same thuggery — the Germans employed the same tactics. Preceding Kristallnacht, the Nazis held several days calling for Germans to boycott Jewish-owned businesses. This was the direct antecedent to the BDS movement. This is no different.
Dartmouth President Paul Hanlon not only should rescind the appointment of Jew-hating BDS leader Bruce Duthu — he himself should resign in disgrace. But those who could bring about his resignation no doubt share his far-left Jew-hatred.

“Outrage After Dartmouth Appoints Israel Boycotter as Head of Faculty,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 8, 2017:
The pro-Israel community at Dartmouth College is reeling following a decision by school leadership to appoint as their new head of faculty a leading supporter of the movement to boycott Israel and Jewish academics.
Dartmouth President Phil Hanlon is facing criticism following his recent decision to appoint Native American studies Professor Bruce Duthu—a leading supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment movement, or BDS—as Dartmouth’s dean of faculty.
Dartmouth, which declined Washington Free Beacon requests to comment on the matter, has come under criticism from the pro-Israel community, including within the school’s own staff, for elevating Duthu to a post of prominence. Duthu’s vocal support for boycotts of Israeli academics and efforts to lead the charge in the BDS movement is dangerous, these individuals argue, and anathema to academic freedom.
The appointment also has renewed fear within the campus pro-Israel community given Dartmouth’s anti-Semitic past, which included the active “Christianization of its students”
While pro-Israel faculty members spent weeks petitioning Dartmouth’s leadership about Duthu’s support for the BDS movement—which included co-authoring a leading BDS document backing the boycott of Israeli academic institutions—President Hanlon moved forward with the decision, prompting some to go public with their concerns.
Dartmouth economics professor Alan Gustman sent a faculty-wide email last week expressing his concern over Duthu’s anti-Israel activism and the college leadership’s apathetic response to these fears.
Dartmouth’s top faculty member should not be an individual who is opposed to working with Israeli academics based on their national origin, Gustman argues.
“In view of Dartmouth’s anti-Semitic history and Professor Duthu’s endorsement of the anti-Semitic BDS document, Dartmouth must not simply appoint Duthu to the position of Dean of the Faculty and ignore the implications of that appointment,” Gustman wrote. “Professor Duthu should either publicly disavow the full ramifications of the BDS positions he has publicly endorsed, or resign his position as Dean and return to his faculty position where expression of these views is sanctioned as academic freedom, but is not representative of Dartmouth College or its faculty.”
Duthu “cannot, without contradiction, 1) assure council signers of the NAISA document and holders of their position of his support for action to boycott Israeli academic institutions, and at the same time 2) administer his job as Dean of the Faculty, while assuring Dartmouth that he will not take such action,” Gustman wrote. “Given its history, Dartmouth cannot turn a blind eye to this contradiction. These issues must be directly and publicly addressed by the Dean, the President, and by the Board. Papering over hypocrisy and prejudice is no way to run an Ivy League College administration.”
When asked to comment on the issue, a Dartmouth spokesman told the Free Beacon, “Thank you for the opportunity, but we are going to decline.”
Dartmouth’s silence on the BDS controversy has raised charges of hypocrisy, given the college’s opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
Dartmouth President Hanlon and other top officials issued a public statement condemning Trump’s immigration policies, but continue to remain silent in the face of charges the school is promoting boycotts of Israel.
“Dartmouth’s commitment to the free and open exchange of ideas, global research, and education manifests itself in dozens of partnerships and in international study and exchange programs,” the anti-Trump statement read. “Our engagement with the full human diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences is critical—to both the strength of the Dartmouth community and the effectiveness of Dartmouth’s learning and leadership. We recognize, value, and celebrate the essential contributions of our international students and scholars.”
The controversy also has begun to resonate in Washington, D.C.
“Dartmouth has long been a hotbed of thinly-veiled anti-Semitic activism, which was excused by the faculty and the institution as criticism of Israel,” said one senior official at a national pro-Israel organization who requested anonymity when discussing strategy. “This disgrace is the logical result. A bureaucrat who is supposed to manage an institution dedicated to the open exchange of ideas but who says that those exchanges shouldn’t include Israeli Jews. Parents will ask themselves if those are the sorts of values they want their kids to learn.”
Josh Block, president and CEO of the Israel Project, told the Free Beacon that Dartmouth must show its commitment to academic freedom.
“This is about dialogue and academic freedom, and simply put, anyone who rules out engaging an entire country, let alone the world’s only Jewish state, is simply unfit to run an institution dedicated to liberal education and higher learning,” Block said.” And that is before we examine the despicable, anti-Semitic double standard being applied, in which the flaws of Israel’s democracy are held up for sanction while the professor and his fellow travelers embrace or ignore numerous regimes committing actual atrocities on historic scale.”…

Unfortunately, there is nothing shocking about this article. It represents what I have personally urged can happen here and is happening here: and that is there is a growing, totally unfounded, development of anti-Semitism metastasizing here in the U.S.A. This is happening despite the fact that the people of the Jewish belief system are not creating fear, are not pursuing mandatory conversion or acceptance of Judaism, are productive citizens wherever they reside, are essentially friendly and likeable, and trustworthy. Why these people are subject to the kind of animosity that seems to be coming more and more prevalent is mind boggling to me. As the article states above, this unfounded anger neglects to recognize that of all the countries on this planet, Israel is probably the least of those that are causing any negative relations with those who are its citizens. One must always remember that Israel’s Arab neighbors and those living around them actively promote the destruction of both the country of Israel and its Jewish citizens; yet these adversaries are being supported by people within the BDM community who inanely seem to be unwilling to see the “trees from the forest” and support those who seek only destruction. How do these people justify there conduct, I ask?

The religion of islum promotes the genocide of the Jewish people, not once, not twice, but three times in three, separate, “authentic” ahadith (one of which is quoted in the charter of Hamas):
“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”‘”
Ishaq:441
In Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Bukhari:V4B52N177
“Allah’s Apostle said, ‘You Muslims will fight the Jews till some of them hide behind stones. The stones will betray them saying, “O Abdullah (slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.”‘”

While I admit to knowing these writings and interpretations, I am referring above to the non-Muslim people who are referred to in the article above. I know what the extremists within Islam who support Jihad believe, and I recognize they must be destroyed, as there conduct adversely affects all of us non-Muslims or non- believers. I recognize that we should protect ourselves from those who preach domination and subjugation, but I am mortified by the unfounded rise of anti-Semitism here, especially since I believe that the people of the Jewish culture have, and continue to conduct themselves in such a way as to be productive, industrious and generally beneficial and likeable to and in whatever society they are within.

Great comment. I totally agree with you….how is it that the only vibrant, brilliant democracy in the Middle East is being attacked and scapegoated, not only by the muslim barbarians but also by the “educated” liberal progressives whose hatred of Jews knows no bounds. Jews (and Christians), we HAVE to stop voting for these monsters because they mean to kill us.

Universities of bigotry do not not deserve federal funding, they can pay for their own ignorance out of their’s, not taxpayers pockets.

Not sure how these Ivy League schools are funded. I think they have their own foundations, but probably get research grants and such, from the Federal Government.
edit: OK, found something. Ivy League schools got $40 billion from the Federal Govt. over a 6 year period, 2010-2015. Not sure if they get something from state governments.

Hating Jews and Christians are in these days. The new religion being welcomed by the west is Islam. The mark of the Beast.

Also shown was a snippet of formal prayers at Mecca, Islam’s holiest city. As Muslims circumambulated around the Ka’ba, the following supplications were blasted on a megaphone, chanted to by Islam’s devotees:
O Allah vanquish the unjust Christians and the criminal Jews, the unjust traitors; strike them with your wrath; make their lives hostage to misery; drape them with endless despair, unrelenting pain and unremitting ailment; fill their lives with sorrow and pain and end their lives in humiliation and oppression; inflict your tortures and punishments upon the unjust Christians and criminal Jews. This is our supplication, Allah; grant us our request!

With the Muslim influx and taking over the world, anti Semitism is now on the rise. All the liberal Jews can thank Obama and Hillary that’s a result of the Arab Spring.
