Academic Leftists, Palestinian Terrorists

A match made in the nether regions:

Academic departments at leading universities in Northern California, including UC Berkeley and Santa Clara University, have recently begun co-sponsoring events with South Bay Mobilization (SBM), a group associated with Hamas.

While South Bay Mobilization is not the only organization in the Bay Area that has ties to Hamas through the activities of some of its leaders and/or members, it has taken a leading role on university campuses throughout the Bay Area. Members of South Bay have had luncheons with Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, and have accepted medals from him in a highly propagandistic manner.

Members of South Bay Mobilization have also been linked to the Free Gaza Movement, which sailed to the Gaza Strip from Cyprus in August 2008. Therefore, South Bay Mobilization’s support for the Free Gaza Movement also constitutes support of Hamas and its aims, and is equivalent to an endorsement of terror, murder, and genocide.

The Free Gaza group had been invited to the Gaza Strip by Bassem Naim, the minister of youth and sport of the genocidal terrorist group Hamas. Naim had recently been denied entry into Europe because of his terrorist affiliation. Furthermore, Hamas is responsible for the murders of hundreds of innocent civilians…

…According to the U.S. State Department, it is unlawful for a person in the United States or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to knowingly provide “material support or resources” to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Representatives and members of a designated foreign terrorist organization, if they are non-citizens, are barred from the country. In certain circumstances, individuals may even be removed from the United States.

In addition to potentially violating U.S. laws which forbid contact with terrorist organizations — Hamas being among the world’s most notorious — Free Gaza members also may have violated the U.S. Neutrality Act by illegally raising money in California to bankroll two boats which they sailed into Gaza. This incident was known as the “Gaza boat incident.”

Lenin had it that the capitalists would sell the communists the rope necessary to hang them – our lefties are going a step further: they will donate the rope to the Islamists who will hang them. To be as blind as these American academics takes an act of will – I mean, they must really have to work at it to be so entirely ignorant of what is going on with Hamas in Gaza. Its not like you can’t look up “hamas kill” on Google, ya know? The search comes back with 2.9 million entries – certainly somewhere in there is sufficient data, even if one is anti-Israel, to come to the conclusion that Hamas is a criminal conspiracy to rob and murder.

And yet, there they go – inviting Hamas criminals to speak, donating to Hamas, helping Hamas to undermine not only Israel, but all those elements in the Palestinian population which would prefer a peace with Israel to Israel’s destruction (the goal of Hamas – and all you have to do is look it up to find this out, too…they aren’t coy about it at all). Murder, robbery and desecration of Christian and Jewish holy sites aside, Hamas is of the opinion that it is the duty of the non-Moslem to be servile to Moslems. We’re supposed to be their slaves, or convert to their ways – one or the other, Hamas has no middle ground between Slave and Islamist.

What profit is there in having such people around? To hear their point of view? What for? Does anyone want to hear the position of other bloodthirsty criminal conspiracies? All points of view are not of equal worth – but as Hamas’ point of view is anti-Semitic and anti-American (as well as anti-European, anti-Christian, anti-You Name It), leftists in America hold their point of view to be uniquely valuable.

Monumentally stupid – and the saddest part about it is that we who are on the right will have to expend our blood and treasure to defend the right of these fools to undermine those who defend them.
