“One Year since al-Aqsa Flood: Reflections on a Year of Genocide and Resistance”
While the media has been attacking Trump over his pro-Israel speech, this is what a federal agency is comfortable funding under the Biden-Harris administration.
Wake Forest students on the Hillel and Chabad student executive boards created an online petition early this week urging the administration to cancel an event scheduled for Oct. 7 featuring speaker Rabab Abdulhadi. The petition, which has garnered over 7,000 signatures, pushes for the event to be canceled due to claims of Abdulhadi spreading antisemitic rhetoric and supporting Hamas.
The event, titled “One Year Since al-Aqsa Flood: Reflections on a Year of Genocide and Resistance,” will be held in the ZSR Auditorium on Oct. 7.
Al Aqsa Flood is the Hamas name for the Oct 7 attacks.
The Change.org petition created by Jewish students states that “we, the undersigned members of the Wake Forest University community, are writing to express our strong concern and opposition to the event scheduled for October 7th with speaker Rabab Abdulhadi, a self-proclaimed Hamas sympathizer.”
“Abdulhadi is a San Francisco State University professor who has publicly threatened Jewish students and has had similar events canceled due to violations of Zoom’s, YouTube’s, and Facebook’s terms of service. She has also publicly supported and celebrated terrorists, some of whom are on the FBI Watchlist, as well as spreading blood libels about Jews.”
“The event, titled “One Year since al-Aqsa Flood: Reflections on a Year of Genocide and Resistance,” refers to the mission carried out by Hamas on October 7th, resulting in the most significant loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust. The title equates the murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent Jewish and Arab life on October 7th to resistance.”
“The event is sponsored by Wake Forest University’s Humanities Institute, Department of History, Department of Politics & International Affairs, Middle East South Asian Studies Program, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is crucial that Wake Forest upholds its values and ensures that speakers who promote hatred and violence are not given a platform on our campus. Jewish student leaders have made several attempts to address these concerns with the administration, only to be dismissed.”
The most striking thing here is not even that such an event is taking place on a college campus, but that it’s being sponsored by a Federal agency. The National Endowment for the Humanities is a federal agency and its name appears on a flier advertising an event by a terror supporter who wants to destroy Israel and America.
On July 4, 2021, Abdulhadi wrote on Facebook: “… We will never celebrate, accept, nor condone the founding of the US settler colonial racist state on the lands of our Indigenous relations …”
The NEH information does not appear on an email sent out by Barry Trachtenberg, an ally of Rabab, but it is there on the flyer.
Is a federal agency sponsoring pro-terrorist events on campus?
Whether the NEH is specifically funding the terror event or being referred to as funding the Wake Forest Univerity Humanities Institute through the existing “major grant” from the federal agency, this is a serious issue that Congress may wish to investigate.

I have been wondering when this federal funding of the campus riots, etc. would be made public to a greater extent than it has so far.
Some time back, Glenn Beck had information on federal programs/agencies which were funding these anti-Jewish, pro-terror events and campus riots.
This should get national coverage, like it once would have, back before so many were so evil and had so much power and authority to hide a lot of what they do to promote evil.
It’s use of ***taxpayer*** money.

Just another example of how the American federal government has become an enemy of, let’s see here, America, common sense and the truth.

Didn’t used to be…

All too true, Wellington and James.

Federal Agency Funds Campus Event Celebrating Islamic Terror and Oct 7
……………………………………
I tend to think of the National Endowment for the Humanities sponsoring some fairly stupid “art”, but a demonstration lauding the Jihad murders of women and children and their use as sex slaves? Just sickening.

OT and the double standard along with the lies of “genocide and ethnic cleansing” accusations against Israel. by cair, of course
“The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has released a statement condemning the doxxing of several students from the University of California, Irvine.
According to a press release from CAIR-LA, the students were doxxed for expressing their solidarity with Palestine and condemning the genocidal actions of Israel. Their names and photos were displayed on the side of a large truck that drove around campus. The truck labeled the students “UC Irvine’s Leading Antisemites
“It is extremely concerning that the UCI administration is allowing outside organizations on campus who use defamatory, inflammatory, and unsubstantiated claims to dox and harass students publicly calling for an end to Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. These efforts are clearly intended to chill student speech and to make them direct targets of harassment and threats. Over the past year, countless students nationwide have been the targets of doxing because of their pro-Palestine activism, leading to harassment, discrimination, and threats,” CAIR-LA Legal Director Amr Shabaik, Esq. said in a statement..”

These people have no problem occupying Native American land as a legitimate part of the American system
James Hoagland says
It is quite unbelievable that the US generally has deteriorated into such a morass that a professor (?!) sic! who has stated “On July 4, 2021, Abdulhadi wrote on Facebook: “… We will never celebrate, accept, nor condone the founding of the US settler colonial racist state on the lands of our Indigenous relations …” how historically and factually wrong this statement is that how in the world is this a statement of a college professor!
A muslim indigenous to the area of the Mandate of Palestine! From where do Arab Muslims originate? This one seems so off that she may be classified as a blabber mouth and eligible for a padded cell.

What a load of crap coming from a supposed educated woman, reminds me of Kamala Harris.

The Democrat Party of 2024 pushing to have taxpayer dollars go towards someone pushing terrorist causes here in America and overseas. The same party that support the KKK in America in the 1920s ,they hated Jews also ,the democrats always seem to pander to racial extremist and supremist .Would the university support “professors” who had gathers supporting Nazis or clans men be excepted in 2024 ? This professor is free to turn over her home ,car ,bank accounts to the” native American” tribe of her choice (the land exchange between different tribes killing each other over thousands of years before the “white man set foot in the Americas) if she “feels” that it is blood money

Kind of OT john kerry wants to take away the First Amendment…but not for himself.
“John Kerry Says the First Amendment is Getting in the Way of Online Censorship”
“Former secretary of state John Kerry recently spoke at a World Economic Forum panel and lamented the First Amendment for being a roadblock to countering online “misinformation” and “disinformation” about climate change.
Responding to an audience question about “climate misinformation,” Kerry described how social media make it difficult to form consensus and said the First Amendment makes it difficult to weed out “disinformation” online.
“But, look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer it out of existence,” Kerry said.
“What we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change,” he added, while acknowledging that different people have other visions for change.”

Kerry the Prince of tomato paste ,married into the Hunts family of can goods failed at everything he tried
With .his ” training” in science and climate he could not teach earth science to freshman in the local High School .I think it was Mark Twain who said if you have doubts you might sound like a fool if you open your mouth keep quiet ,because if you speak you will remove all doubts. Kerry should retire move back to his home state of Maine to the rock cover beach there and take up a quiet position on them like an Easter Island statue. His best line at the Senate hearing on Climate change was the private jet he flies all over the world is not his it is his wife plane! One more reason to vote for Trump to get rid of these idiots running in the Biden Harris clown show.
