Thursday August 2, 2018 (7:00 PM – 9:00 PM) Barnard College, New York City, the latest bastion of higher-ed to become a shameful conduit for anti-Israel animus.
They offered “an intimate discussion between two groups on the front-lines — fighting incarceration and supporting prisoners — one in Palestine, the other in the U.S. — and how we can understand these shared systems of domination and resist them.” [Algemeiner]
Addameer (Arabic for conscience), is a Ramallah-based outfit accused of ties with the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Barnard chose to “Stand with ADDAMEER”, a “Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association” working for “political prisoners” held in Israeli and Palestinian prisons. “Addameer vs Israel“.
How much more “effed up” can our centers of education become?
The New JDL- NY was there, outside Barnard, in protest and to Stand With Israel.
“…. after a “difficult past semester” — during which Barnard students voted to endorse a divestment campaign against Israel in a referendum — “it is dismaying to see the College further used to discomfort members of its community.” [Algemeiner]
Barnard College, shame on you.
Addameer has called attempts to link it to the PFLP part of a “smear” campaign. According to Jewish Virtual Library, the PFLP has been involved in various suicide bombings, airplane hijackings and an assassination.” [Jewish Journal]

“Addameer, according to NGO Monitor, has several members who are either currently in Addameer, or were formerly in the organization, that have extensive ties with the PFLP.
For instance, Addameer’s chairperson, Abdul-latif Ghaith, is currently in the midst of an Israeli travel ban due to his PFLP membership. Addameer vice-chairperson Khalida Jarrar was convicted of belonging to the PFLP and calling for violence against Israeli soldiers, serving prison time as a result.
Yacoub Odeh,an Addameer board member, was sentenced to life in prison for his PFLP membership and was only released as part of a prisoner exchange.
Barnard College to Host Prisoners’ Group Accused of Ties With Palestinian Terrorists
The speakers this evening were:
- Lana Ramadan, Addameer’s International Advocacy Officer, was born in Dheisheh refugee camp, near Bethlehem in the West Bank. She’s worked with Badil Refugee Resource Centre and been active in community activities, such as Dabke. She studied Human Rights and International Law in the joint Al Quds University and Bard College program and has a Master in Human Rights from London School of Economics.
- David Joseph Deutch, or DJ, Addameer’s Advocacy Coordinator, is a native of Australia who has worked with indigenous Australian youth, asylum seeker children, Amnesty International Australia and the UN in New York and Palestine. He is now Addameer’s Advocacy Coordinator. He studied Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Sydney and has a Master in Public Administration at Columbia University in New York.
- Laura Whitehorn served 14+ years(of a 20 year sentence) in US federal prison as an “anti-imperialist political prisoner“. She was convicted for the “Resistance Conspiracy” case, which involved attacks on US and Israeli military installations and companies. [FYI- she BOMBED the headquarters of the Israeli Aircraft Industry right here in NYC] In 2016, she was part of a delegation with other former “political prisoners”, labor organizers, and academics to Palestine.
Laura Whitehorn is a proud anti-Zionist Jew. She was charged with “conspiracy to influence, change, and protest policies and practices of the United States government by violent and illegal means“. 
In the 60s, Whitehorn was active in the “civil rights” movement, supported the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Movement, the New Afrikan Independence Movement and Puerto Rican Independence … Whitehorn also lists fighting the KKK and organized white supremacy.
She advocates the creation of ANOTHER Islamic State – in the Middle East, those “BASTIONS of Equality!”
The Adameer members at Barnard were joined by Release Aging People in Prison – RAPP ; Jewish Voice for Peace-New York City.
Release Aging People in Prison/RAPP works to end mass incarceration and promote racial justice by getting elderly and infirm people out of prison.

The Barnard fools and tools welcomed these terrorist organizations, presenting them as voices of reason and proclaiming “Incarceration to be a system of domination”.
The new Barnard school motto, perhaps: “Breaking Bars. RESIST! Resist! Resist!”

We heard many JDL proclamations of support FOR Israel as well as the declarations: “Go back to Jordan” and (in reference to Ahed Tamimi) “Terrorist, Terrorist”, “In Jail-NO Bail”.
Both sides made the most of this NO TIME FOR SILENCE, the NY Transit police, the National Guard and the State Police were brought in to keep order and to create a path – BUILDING a WALL of law enforcement.
A passage for all to pass by without feeling intimidated by the “fakestinian” protestors.
The Penn Station protest was led by 
Some of the international reporters: 
NIKETOWN NYC. Dec 23, 2016 
While five stalwart patriots countered their obnoxious chants with “We LOVE the President Elect” and “USA. USA.”
:
Perhaps the shoppers told their children-in-tow “From Whence This Fungi Comes. Grows. Propagates.” 
Answer: Found in our institutions of “higher learning”. Our progressive religious havens. Our media. check. check and double-check. 
Sharing their concerns. Mind-f##king the passersby. Babbling on to anyone who would listen about “Love not Hate”. A real teaching moment. 
The “Don’t Shop Hate “Mission Statement:
On the Left:
The “Trump Won, YOU LOST” side included two passionate gentlemen-of-color. 
The police even enjoyed their diatribes , “You’re all commies. We know who you are” – up to a point-
Eventually the officers encouraged the one fellow to move along if he couldn’t mora tranquillo (stay calm).
Yeah, he was steamed but, in no way violent; just- impassioned. But, they wanted passion without suffering. “Go home. Please” So he did. Politely. While the patriots hung in there…
Refusing to discuss the difference between a BORDERS wall, country to country, vs the barbed wire/cinder block walling-off of a city (closing off – entombing half a country) So NOT the same thing. 
But, the German couple didn’t care. He motor-mouthed his disdain – she laughed- took pictures – then – MOVED on passed the Nike protest.
A hour later … 8 pm and the Prog/Commie/Leftards gathered for a “group hug” circle. The “Don’t buy NIKE or GUCCI” / “Dump Trump” protest was over…. for now… Go Home!
They approached quietly. Meekly. Shook hands. Made peace, saying, “We all want the same thing, don’t we?” … (ya think?)…. 
January 20, 2016 is almost here. Trump/Pence WON. AMERICA voted to STOP the Tyrannis ignorati. BUT, they do not slumber. The ignorati will return; desperate to reseed, nurturing unsuspecting fools. UNLESS someone – President Trump – saves the next generation from this “fungus ignoratus”.
Ignoring peaceful gestures , whether from a single Israeli citizen or the whole country. They are NOT interested in PEACE.
Angry, anti-U.S. and anti-Israel LIES. Agitprop they could spew in a coma. If you have never listened to them, Doares and Flounders, they are like a BAD movie, that needs to be heard. 
That was it. Both sides shouting back and forth. And one fellow, from the Israeli side, Robert K., who spontaneously sprinted across the avenue to shake hands. To make a peaceful gesture. (apparently the officer said – NOT TODAY) as he was ushered back to the west side of 7th. (ah well…at least he tried) 
Israel. Jerusalem. The Middle East. The LIES: al-Quds (Jerusalem), al-Aqsa (aka the Temple Mount!), the Nakba (day of “catasrophe”) Innocents die at the hands of the Islamic Terrorists emboldened by media support. Commie support. And the “good-will of fools”. Will Truth ever prevail?
WHY: From 
“Instead of advocating for policies that would actually improve the safety, health, civil rights, and livelihood of all communities, Trump has chosen to meet and seek the support of religious extremists who have supported and defended legislation such as Uganda’s infamous “Kill the Gays” bill. All the while, he uses the recent violence against the LGBTQ community as an excuse to advocate for discrimination against American Muslims.”
Earlier, I saw 
Perhaps THIS is a clear threat of VIOLENCE from the ‘peacefully’ misguided protestors
More quotes from their press release: “The LGBTQ community is a rainbow coalition of races and religious beliefs. While we stand united against any kind of religious bigotry, we will not stand silent while our Muslim LGBTQ brothers and sisters continue to be targets of hate speech,” said Tom Blake, another member of ACT UP NY.”
