The Anti-Semites Among Us

They’re everywhere—even in sleepy Hanover, NH. Even in the Jewish Studies Department at Dartmouth College. They must be rooted out, ostracized.

NEW:

 Annelise Orleck, Head of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth, has been banned from Campus for six months after protecting Jewish students protesting for Palestine from police attacks.

Dartmouth professor arrested during protest: 'It's really shameful'

Professor Annelise Orleck says protest was peaceful until police in riot gear arrived

Apparently, later Dartmouth College thought better of letting their faculty arrested and banned from campus:

College clarifies stance on professor Annelise Orleck’s arrest

Dartmouth did not seek Orleck’s prohibition from campus.

Let me be clear. I’m quite sure that I have next to nothing in common with Orleck. Read her Wiki link to find out why. Nevertheless, I find it just about impossible to believe that Orleck’s participation in the protest was motivated by “… pure anti-Semitism, … pure hatred,” as Gov. Chris Sununu preemptively claimed—i.e., he made the claim before the protest ever began. Obviously Sununu made his mind up, or had it made up for him, and ignored inconvenient facts, such as that professors of Jewish Studies were participating in supposedly anti-Semitic protests. His mind, and the minds of the college administrators, were clearly made up beforehand.

As a matter of policy it seems like a very bad idea for a college to call or allow the state police onto the campus to manhandle students and elderly faculty—or to have the state police standing by in readiness beforehand at the decision of the governor—absent a serious threat to security that the campus police can’t handle. And yet that decision was made before the protest ever began. If you disagree, before commenting listen to John Mearsheimer explain this: Prof. John Mearsheimer : Genocide, Free Speech, and Academia. Calling the cops on the kids and the profs sets a bad precedent for establishing the relations between administrators and what the institution is actually supposed to be about. A college or university isn’t supposed to exist for the sake of the administrators. It’s supposed to exist as a community of students and teachers, with the administration as a support for that primary purpose. Given that dynamic, first resort in dealing with a protest that may violate administrative “policy” shouldn’t be state police in riot gear. According to this account, the tent encampment was stormed “within hours” of its establishment. The protestors were told to leave or be arrested for “criminal trespass.” Uh, the students live there—shouldn’t there have been room for a bit of discussion? The state cops are gone, but now the college—a relatively small community—has to live with itself.

My guess is that pressure was exerted on the administrators to suppress speech that those who exerted the pressure didn’t like. Trustees, donors, alums, politicians responding to their own set of donors. In other words, money speaks—as the SCOTUS has held, I believe. But responding to money pressure, while it may be a cental reality in college life, is a very bad look for a college when it comes pretty much front and center. And this is also what I meant when I spoke about The War Among The Jews. Deciding who is a Jew and who isn’t a Jew and what Jews are allowed to espouse what ideas, etc.—why would we want to call in the riot police to deal with those issues? Especially on a college campus. But that’s exactly what The Israel Lobby is doing. They want you to believe that they and only they speak for Jews.

This should tell you what kind of people we’re dealing with. The Israel Lobby has taken over our country and is fundamentally transforming it, debasing our politics and even our everyday life.
