Kingsborough Community College professor targeted for being a conservative Jew

19

The left-wing embrace of vile antisemites such as Louis Farrakhan, Linda Sharia Sarsour, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and others since the election of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, and not ending with the election of Donald Trump in 2016, has mainstreamed Jew-hatred. The demand that the West respect Islamic Jew-hatred has freed closet Jew-haters and radicalized the uneducated and groupthinking leftist academics towards a hatred of the Jews. I blame Islamic supremacists and their leftist lapdogs, as well as self-hating Jews. The environment they have created on all too many campuses worldwide has led to this.

“A campus infected with hostility: A professor says he’s been targeted for being a conservative Jew,” by Michael Goldstein, New York Daily News, February 13, 2019 (thanks to Mark):

Each time I walk into my office at Kingsborough Community College, I draw inspiration from a picture of my father, Leon Goldstein, the school’s president for 29 years and the man who built the college’s modern-day campus.

Story continues below advertisement

Yet in recent months, anti-Semites turned my father’s photo from a source of inspiration into a symbol of destruction. The vandalism marked the start of a systematic and pernicious campaign in which I have been targeted and harassed because of who I am and what I believe.

I’ve worked at Kingsborough for 20 years, and within the City University of New York network for 30 years. The anti-Semitic vandalism and death threat perpetrated outside my office this past February was unlike anything I’ve experienced before.

The reason for their attack? I’m Jewish, politically conservative and I believe in Zionism, the civil rights movement of the Jewish people.

The vandals defaced a photo of my father with anti-Semitic graffiti, including the words “F–k Trump Goldstein, Kill the Zionist Entity.” I later learned the incident came one day after Kingsborough Professor Katia Perea apparently told an administrator who refused her request to fire me, “I guess I will have to handle this myself.”

Perea, whom I have never met or spoken to, is a member of the Progressive Faculty Caucus, a radical faculty group at Kingsborough. T

This was my jarring introduction to the PFC and its unending campaign of harassment and belittlement. It was also my introduction to the inertia of the Kingsborough and CUNY administrations. Kingsborough declined to classify February’s anti-Semitic vandalism as a hate crime and denied my requests for added security.

This was just the beginning….

THEY HATE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS!

This was just the beginning.

In May, more than 1,000 flyers were distributed around campus calling for my firing and attributing vile,
false allegations of racism, sexism and anti-Muslim sentiments to me.

I’ve never promoted any of my private or religious opinions in the classroom — or anywhere else on campus. Nor have I held any of the hateful views the flyers attached to me. In her earlier attempt to get me fired, Perea went from office to office showing staff my private Facebook photos as her “evidence” that I’m racist and sexist. The PFC’s efforts then escalated into what the flyers described as an imperative to “build a movement” against me.

And that’s exactly what it has been — an orchestrated, aggressive movement to destroy me. May’s flyers included a picture of my 13-year-old daughter. I’ve chaired a food committee at Kingsborough for eight years, and suddenly, a PFC member new to the committee began investigating my activity.

I fear for my safety. I now have full-time security provided by the school. But it only came after many months of complaints and PFC’s recent attack on Kingsborough’s provost, Joanne Russell, a devout Christian.

The PFC shows no signs of abating until I’m removed from Kingsborough, my second home for 20 years. They freely admit to their targeted harassment of me, and they are proud of it. For that reason, with the help of The Lawfare Project, I filed a complaint with the EEOC and the NY State Division of Human Rights.

The group’s activities are not only directed towards me. Over the past year alone, at least five complaints by Jewish staff members have been filed against the PFC internally with CUNY.

Sadly, such discrimination against Jews isn’t limited to Kingsborough or CUNY. Other high-profile incidents of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism on campuses include University of Michigan, UCLA, Stanford University, Tufts and Connecticut College. The list goes on and on.

None of this has anything to do with academic freedom or free speech. This is about anti-Semitism and religious discrimination, pure and simple. There is no longer a safe space in academia for individuals with opposing views — especially if you are Jewish or pro-Israel.

Goldstein is an administrator and an adjunct professor of communications and government relations at Kingsborough Community College.

Jews are easier to pick on because there are fewer of them and many are so liberal they can’t see straight. It’s sickening to watch this. I would bet Muslims are the muscle behind this.

Where is the ACLU? Controlled by Muslims and liberal Jews!
Where is Anti-Defamation League? (ADL)

I hope Mr. Goldstein is looking into civil action against this atrocious Professor Katia Perea.

If Perea has, as Goldstein claims, distributed pictures of his children, she may in violation of any number of New York State criminal statutes.

At the very least, she has exposure, based on these obvious attempts at harassment, to civil liability.

Someone has, in this comment thread, mentioned the ACLU – waste of time.

Goldstein should contact the ZOA and other conservative Jewish groups (conservative in that they believe Jews have a right to exist free from harassment) and he should proceed with legal action against this woman.

I’m sure the ZOA can provide assistance in this matter.

What is happening now, I predicted would come many years ago, and I have observed the continuing reality of this type of conduct as it continues to poison our American society. I certainly recognize that anti-Semitism is a sword that has unjustly been a conduct of vicious leaders and their followers over the eons, but now, we here in America are dealing with a new impetus to this anti-Semitism by those believers of Islam, who actually promote this hate and violence and wrongfully justify their right to do so based on the teachings of their satanic religion. This article that you made available initially helped me recognize the courage it took of this teacher to come forward with his real concerns, concerns that are multiplying in severity throughout our nation. It is mortifying that being Jewish, people who are non-violent and have a belief system that respects others, are now, more than ever in fear of the many now out there who would cause trouble for these people. It is very sad. I continue to hope that the legal authorities will affirmatively act to push back against these people by determining the conduct that they promote and pursue is a violation of such laws that prohibit assault and battery, and amount to criminal extortions to destroy those people, and that the prosecution might result in jail time. To me that is the only method available to stop what has become a heinous attack on people who do not deserve that kind of treatment. I have even made those comments to leading prosecutors whenever I am able. I continue to hope that they get active, before it is too late. These Islamic believers are simply out of place here and are precluded by their belief system to ever understand and accept what being American is all about, and the danger that they represent to our nation is scary.

Brooklyn’s Kingsborough ranked third best community college in the nation

It’s located in Brooklyn – home to Islam and call to prayer!

It’s a huge community college. What a frightening thought that this is ranked THIRD BEST, as of 2013, among
COMMUNITY COLLEGES in the U.S. with stuff like this going on.
I don’t know if it still has that ranking.

where are the conservatives ? Ahh ..I guess they think they can party ….or sleep at home while the Left/liberal pro-jihadis takeover schools/colleges.

These are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons

And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them https://tinyurl.com/yahupccy

Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

conservatives slept while left/jihadis took over by hounding conservatives off schools/colleges.

The propaganda invested to unjustly denounce Israel should be invested in exposing of Muhammadist tyrannies: enslavement of Africans, torture of atheists, forcible declitorization. That would inspire people to just activism.
Unjust Muhammad said his Messiah would return when trees & stones would lure Muhammadists to unjustly murder Jews & commanded to kill atheists, declared Africans slaves, commanded to burn people that didn’t attend prayers, crucified critics, commanded to kill people in their sleep, commanded the forcible lifelong torture of declitorization of girls, forced theism on anyone, said that who doesn’t join the Ramadan-fast “is not a Muslim. He can be killed.”, said that parents can kill their children, because they’re their parents, raped, tortured, said Non-muhammadists can be eaten, commanded to beat children, promoted inbreeding, declared war on atheists, Jews & all other Non-muhammadists & ‘kissed’ penises of boys & sucked boys’ tongues & lips (see Wikiislam).

Most of the students at Kingsborough were Yiddish until the last 50 years. Now it is filled with Jew-haters, and Socialist who want to share the wealth. No Talmudic or Ashkenazim students are welcome unless they loudly call for the return of Nazi style concentration camps.

Jews have been very active in the support and founding of many our educational and hospital institutions in USA , and all over the world. In addition these institutions educated and had provided careers for many people, including that foul anti Semitic medical resident at the Cleveland clinics , who desired to give the Jewish people all the wrong meds in order to injure them or kill them. This muzlim dr got her medical diploma and opportunity to practice medicine from the Jewish founded Touro college . What great institutions have our civic minded muzlim friends given us? What have they done for the greater good? Nothing but blood. Cold blood.

With astonishing regularity this CULT masquerading as a “religion” of peace” seems to attract the most disturbed people on the planet.

Could it be their “book”?.

Could it be their so-called “prophet”?

Could it be that attitude and behavior – for the last 1,400 years – reflects leadership?

Michael Goldstein should sue professor Katia Perea with a civil action for harassment, slander and discrimination and endangering his safety and get a restraining order against Katia Perea.

Michael Goldstein should be commended for coming forward and everyone should emulate Michael Goldstein for the right to have his own beliefs and proud to be a Zionist and not letting an anti-Semite intimidate him.

So its okay and acceptable to belong to a radical faculty group at Kingsborough but not acceptable to be a proud Jew?

Kingsborough needs to fire professor Katia Perea effective immediately! Katia Perea is spreading her hate to faculty members at Kingsborough and defaming Michael Goldstein and his reputation and for enciting staff and students to hate and discriminate against Michael Goldstein.

The true shame here is in the college administration’s failure to clamp down hard on the ultra-left PFC and prevent this kind of harrassment in violation of academic freedom. They also needed to face reality and classify the vandalism as a hate crime – or the law needs to do away with the concept of “hate crime” enhanced penalties altogether, since it is used so often to add to the opprobrium heaped on those accused of anti-Muslim crimes. A double standard for Israel and Jews is part of the standing definition of antisemitism.

And yet my fellow American Jews will, overwhelmingly, continue to vote “D”… right up until the time the Left and their Muslim allies herd them into camps.
