Jewish rooted university sprouts anti-Semitism on faculty listserv
Brandeis University, most recently known for withdrawing an invitation to human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali to speak at graduation, is back in the news and not for anything of which it should be proud. The private university with Jewish roots has been hosting an anti-Semitic, anti-American faculty listserv.

…..Some people need to hate. The faculty mantra of the social sciences and humanities has become the worn cliché of racism, sexism, homophobia, and exploitation. It doesn’t just tell you what is wrong with society, it also tells you who to hate. So why the Jews? After all, the Jews have been in the forefront of every progressive political movement both as individuals and as a community. The Jews are vulnerable; they are an increasingly small percentage of the population, their defense groups shy away from public confrontation, and they are far more likely to take you to court than take you into some dark alley for a rendezvous with street-corner justice.

The left may claim to abhor the totalitarianism of the Soviet Union, but it never repudiated the shared heritage of Marx. Hating Jews is safe, for now it can be disguised as hating Zionists. Brandeis Professor Donald Hindley can safely say, “Zionist olive trees grow wondrously on Palestinian corpses. In that way, we combine great trees with our own holocaustic ethnic cleansing.”
Could Hindley have said, “Alder trees grow wondrously on Mexican corpses in the Rio Grande. That way we can control the tide of illegal immigration”?
Do you really think that if he said that, Brandeis would have rushed to shield his “free speech rights?” The public relations department at Brandeis would be more concerned about La Raza teaching the school a lesson in what it means to incite an oppressed minority……
