Antisemitic stunt at Florida University‏

It was nominally anti-Israel but how did they know the Jewish students were pro-Israel?  There are plenty of anti-Israel Jews.  So the students were singled out just because they were Jewish
More than 200 Jewish students at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL found “eviction” notices posted on their dormitory doors Friday, unaware that it was part of a publicity stunt by Students for Justice in Palestine.

The organization’s chapter president, Noor Fawzy, explained, “We want to raise awareness about the plight of the Palestinians…The intent is to expose Israel‘s illegal policies and give students a feel of what it’s like to live under occupation. “The ”notice” explained that more than 25,000 homes have been demolished since the “occupation of Palestine” began in 1967.

While SJP appears to have gotten university approval for the stunt (some members may have even been escorted by an employee official as they were posting the signs), the school has since removed the postings after many expressed their disapproval.

Rayna Exelbierd, who received one of the notices, said, “We’re taking it very seriously. We’re considering it a hate crime. The flier promotes hate; it doesn’t promote peace. People were scared by it. People felt threatened by it.”

That's not surprising since reality is the antidote for liberalism.

Ironically, you can bet that most of the pro-Palestinian students are jews. Self-hating seems to be another one of their "traditions", although we don't hear them singing about that one.

Actually I hate to say this, but it time that they get lawyers involved and sue the hell out of the students who posted the notices.

(Dealing with lawyers is always such a dirty business.)

So I assume that affirmative action bake sales are acceptable as well.

Anon 5:55 - God will show you how real he is on his own time schedule, the mistake you make is thinking he'll be happy sending you or anyone else who failed to believe in him to where those will be going.

Anon 2:53. I agree. Just imagine what would be happening if similar eviction notices had been posted on Muslim's doors or even (heaven forbid!) a mosque.

What makes all liberals and theists the same? Their belief in the illogical and their refusal to grasp reality.

Hate crime? More like attention getting act.

Although it's quite possible the Palestinian group hates Jews, there seems to be an absence of threats or calls for violence in their posters.

Ah well. Hate, as beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Actually comrade, God was not mentioned in my post. When the time comes, HE will surely show you how real HE is. And don't bother buying a fireproof suit. It won't help you.

Ha Ha Well we know what primitive god 4:26 believes in - a Zeus/Thor type that will strike you down in a ball of fire if you offend its delicately divine sensibilities!

You provide no proof. Only fear. Try again.

Perhaps he's tryin to get a franchise on fire-proof suits down-under (meaning Hell rather than Australia, which is certainly not so hellish!)
