“Students for Justice in Palestine" proud of harassing a Holocaust survivor

This video was proudly uploaded by a branch of Students for Justice in Palestine.

Disgusting. This woman has called for another Jewish genocide and she’s allowed to remain on campus. IMAGINE if a Jewish student had said something similar. Antisemitism is FAR more common, and the statistics back this up, than “Islamaphobia,” yet (in some quarters) it is an issue that is almost never raised (except when it can be exploited for political gain). This person should be treated like the human garbage she is. That’s true for the rest of the SJP membership as well.

“Now is an opportunity that won’t repeat itself, where one can visit German-Nazi concentration camps with a witness of these atrocities,” he continued. “This is the last generation that will be able to speak and learn from survivors.”
