The nation’s universities are such toxic environments of leftist Jew-hatred that this teaming-up of BDS profs with Antifa was inevitable. It will increase the violence that we already see on campuses, and the forcible shutting-down of any remaining voices of sanity and reason.
If you love your children, don’t send them to college today. They’re not institutions of higher learning. They’re radioactive deserts of leftist indoctrination.
“Anti-Israel pro-BDS profs organizing Antifa campus network,” by William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection, August 17, 2017:
The teaming of BDS and Antifa is the single most dangerous development I have witnessed in many years
The anti-Israel Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement is notorious for campus violence and disruption directed at Israelis and pro-Israeli students and faculty.
We have featured dozens of incidents of shout-downs and disruptions of events, including physical acts of intimidation. Many of these incidents are discussed in our post, With campus shout downs, first they came for the Jews and Israel.
In an extremely dangerous development, anti-Israel pro-BDS faculty are organizing a nationwide campus Antifa network.
Inside Higher Ed reports, Campus Antifascist Network (h/t Cam Edwards on Twitter):
Given that college campuses have been central to activism by the so-called alt-right, is it time for a campus-based countermovement? Scholars behind the proposed Campus Antifascist Network, or CAN, think so.
“The election of Donald Trump has emboldened fascist and white nationalist groups nationwide, on campus and off, and their recent upsurge requires antifascists to take up the call to action once again,” reads an invitation to join the group, posted on social media this week by David Palumbo-Liu, the Louise Hewlett Nixon Professor and professor of comparative literature at Stanford University….
Network co-organizer Bill Mullen, a professor of American studies at Purdue University, on Wednesday called CAN a “big tent” that “welcomes anyone committed to fighting fascism.”
“We are diverse in our political points of view but unified by our fight against fascism,” he said. The idea is “to drive racists off campuses and to protect the most vulnerable from fascist attack.”
And of objections made by some that Trump is not a fascist? Palumbo-Liu said that is “literally an academic argument in the worst sense of the word. We need to pay attention to what is happening, not the labels that we feel are most fitting.” ….
Since Charlottesville, the network has jumped to 200 members and 1,000 followers on its Facebook page, Mullen said. Antifascist branches are being formed on campuses and the group is preparing teach-ins and self-defense materials for faculty and students who may meet with white supremacist protesters.
The network has been endorsed by writers Junot Díaz and Viet Nguyen, as well as graduate student unions. In addition to faculty members, graduate students and some undergraduates have joined.
According to the Inside Higher Ed article, they claim they are not seeking violence, but the wording of their responses is ambiguous:
Mullen said CAN’s approach to protests will be to protect those most vulnerable to attack and “to build large, unified demonstrations against fascists on campuses when they come.”
Asked specifically about the possible use of violence, Palumbo-Liu said antifa activists include those whose tactics CAN would reject. “We would advocate self-defense and defense in various forms of those who are being threatened by fascists, but not violence,” he added, saying his group can’t control the antifa label or who ascribes to it.
Palumbo-Liu and Mullen, the organizers of the campus Antifa network, are two of the most aggressive anti-Israel pro-BDS faculty members in the country. They each have long histories of demonizing Israel and supporting the academic boycott of Israel.
Palumbo-Liu, who was once dubbed Stanford’s Most Radical Professor, was featured in a post we did about the dangerous blockade of the San Mateo Bridge by anti-Israel protesters, Anti-Israel activists caused car crashes on San Mateo Bridge.
. Palumbo-Liu expressed pride that some of this students were involved:
Mullen also is one of the most aggressive BDS faculty activists, well known for his BDS activities at Purdue.
This fits a pattern of anti-Israel activists co-opting and hijacking other movements, something we explored in If you are surprised #BlackLivesMatter joined war on Israel, you haven’t been paying attention.
Under the leadership of anti-Israel, pro-BDS faculty, expect the campus Antifa network to be re-directed against Israel, Israelis and Jews. We’ve seen this in Chicago, where Jewish symbols were banned at an LGBT event, and Jewish LGBT groups have been attacked….

Its sharia/Islam drip by drip . In America we have Islamonazi demanding we stop honoring American soldiers during Memorial day and instead honor Jihadis killed by American Soldiers just the way Palestine govt does to its jihadis !
Hard to believe ? check http://bit.ly/2qvcHov
And why are such scumbags who cannot even respect our soldiers deported after rescinding their citizenship rights & for supporting jihadi terrorists ?
No such place as palestine, or a palestinian. They are muslims nothing more.
So there is no saudi , they are muslims nothing more ?!
There is a country called Saudi arabia, and they call themselves Saudi’s, but they are muslims. There is no race of people called palestinians, that is a made up term by yassa Arafat in 1970 and comes from the derogatory term Roman’s called Jews.
mozzies pretend they are like jews. something about abrahame. i read my good news bible and somehow i do not believe mozshlems.
islam is not an Abrahamic religion. That is a lie they tell. It has nothing to do with Christianity. mohammed was a pagan, that is all he knew. They use taqiyya, lying and deceit.
Abraham’s wife, Sarah, was without child. Sarah took her Egyptian handmaiden, Hagar, to Abraham so that he would have an offspring. The child was called Ismael. Some years later Sarah had a child, Isaac.
Ismael and Hagar mocked Sarah and her son. God instructed Abraham to send Hagar and Ismael away. Ismael was destined found a great nation, the Ismaelites.
Mohammed and others thought they were descended from Ismael. It’s a cruel twist of logic that Mohammed claimed Abraham as an ancestor while he loathed the Jews who were also descendants of Abraham.
Hagar and Ismael wandered for 13 days before finding food and water. This is why the Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca and circle the Kaaba 13 times to commemorate the exile of Hagar and Ismael.
Withdraw all public funding from universities, let them play their stupid games with their own money.
sOROS owns the dEMOCRAT party and aNTIFATA, so the low -life, criminal dEMOCRAT party is calling JEWISH people nazis !
Antifa is labeled a terrorist organization, by the State of New Jersey.
