Jewish Groups Stand Against Terrorism at Cooper Union

Beginning with a flashback to October 2023: a reminder of the Jewish students barricaded in the CU library while rampaging anti-Semites pounded on the windows.The outrage as expressed below should have brought a commitment for change from Cooper Union.

So, in the ensuing year,  “What did Cooper Union do to curtail the anti-Semitic indoctrination in their school?From October 2023 to October 2024:Not much it would seem.

Oct 15, 2024

Herut NYC, Betar US & other Jewish organizations countered,outside Cooper Union,   SJP’s pro-terror/pro-rape T-SHIRT sale-membership drive,with

JEWS FIGHT BACK!
Stand Against Terror
Rape and Hate!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

.
This day the Students For Justice in Palestine were promoting support for Palestine by selling T-shirts  … Made With  Love ….

IMG_5041 copy However, the SJP didn’t get to sell those T-shirts as easily as planned. They were unprepared for a counter-protest that bombarded them with, “Do you support Terrorism? Do you support Rape?”

The opposition – in support of Israel –  made sure the passersby heard the FACTS about the anti-Jewish terrorist organizations led by Hamas and Hezbollah that promoted hostility for Israel and the Jews.

Of course, the CU recruitment message was heavy with anti-Semitic propaganda  …  and LIES….  to re-cruit the naive, the gullible – THE UNDER-EDUCATED into believing the anti-Semitic hatred is FACT.

IMG_5038 copyLots OF LOVE for Palestine from the SJP.  Just read the T-shirts. Yet, HATRED is preached towards the Jews and Israel. That’s all they know. Why do they support terrorism and rape? This is a conversation they were unable to have, no matter how the question was asked. “Resistance is the GREATEST Act Of LOVE”

     Cooper Union has obviously let the anti-Semitism continue to fester. Believing that T-shirts are an act of love- not war.

VIDEO of October 2024 has both sides in action. How does Cooper Union explain the promotion of a terrorist organization? The Hatred?

.There was an added dramatic painting created at the t-shirt table ….  after everyone arrived. A Bloody Cooper Union.

BEFORE, it was just a Cooper Union T-Shirt.

WHY, one year later, are we witnessing a recruitment T-shirt sale for anti-Semitism on the grounds of Cooper Union? WHY is this OKAY?

The message : ENOUGH is ENOUGH! should have borne fruit.

Strong words from Jacob Khalili on his experience with anti-Semitism at Cooper Union.  Cooper Union: Shame Shame

.Who is in charge here?

FYI the statement made (in the video) re tuition for SJP students at CU:

“The Cooper Union was one of very few American institutions of higher learning to offer a full-tuition scholarship to every admitted student, a practice it discontinued in 2014, instead offering a half-tuition scholarship to each admitted student.[15] As of 2024, nearly half of its undergraduate students were attending on a tuition-free basis.[16] In September 2024 the school announced that for the next four years, all students (including current students) would not pay tuition for their senior year.[17][18]

However, anti-Israel groups were planning a protest to disrupt the event.

SO…there was an Emergency Rally For Israel :

Due to their pressure, Columbia administration imposed a last-minute restriction on the event’s attendance preventing many Israel supporters and other interested parties from hearing the ambassador’s speech.

Wait listed means …. NO ADMITTANCE !


Let us show the UN ambassador of the only Middle East democracy a warm welcome. Let us show our support to Students Supporting Israel at Columbia University – SSI Columbia who organized this event.

Let us send a message to the Columbia administration that the university’s responsibility is to protect and encourage free speech and civil discourse instead of restricting it.

And let us show anti-Israel hate groups that false and bigoted messages will not prevail. This is a non-partisan pro-Israel, pro free speech event!.

What we saw outside (and others inside) was predictable. They did not fail to agitate.  The SJP …. and others…. were there to SHUT DOWN Free Speech.


Video of BOTH sides – the confrontation outside Lerner

Saw them assemble to march  at approx. 6:30 and then- as they began marching back and forth in front of Lerner Hall- they grew in numbers.

Glutting the sidewalk. Jamming egress for anyone just trying to walk by.  And SHOUTING. CHANTING. Hateful. Nasty. Smug. Shrill.

Eventually the police brought more barricades- to clear the center of the public sidewalk. But, the noise pollution continued, unabated,

…. while other kuffeya-clad REGISTERED GUESTS continued to gain entry.


INSIDE- as predicted- was the shut Danon down phase two.


SHOUT and SHOUT and SHOUT so he can’t speak. not answer questions. after all- someone might hear the TRUTH. These fascist thugs can’t have that – EVER


And Columbia? Shame on you. SHAME SHAME SHAME

I conclude with this buoyant response: Allyson Levy February 14 at 8:34am ·

Last night the pro Israel voice won….Danon got to speak, and the anti-semites were left to chant to a glass wall….AM YISRAEL CHAI ❤️🇮🇱


Right on!
