‘Israeli Apartheid Week’ Hits University of South Florida Campus

Interested in “a concert and showcase of Palestinian musical culture?“ Been wanting to listen to a ”staunch conservative who was ‘afraid of Arabs’ and supportive of Israel’s policy toward Palestinians” talk about seeing the light? Or, maybe you’ve been itching to hear an anti-American, anti-Israel British rapper bust a rhyme. If so, make your way over to the University of South Florida this week to celebrate “Israeli Apartheid Week.”
“Students For Justice in Palestine at USF will be hosting a week of events to bring awareness to the Israeli military occupation of Palestine,” the events Facebook page says. It’s set to feature Julia Hurley, a former Israeli supporter who was “afraid of Arabs,” and British rapper Lowkey. More on him later.
The group is billing the event as “A week full of events promoting an understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian issue.“ It encourages students to ”Please join us in fighting for justice!“ The ”fight” even made it into the student newspaper:
According to that blurb, Hurley is set to speak on “the Israeli occupation of Palestine,“ followed by the ”award-winning“ documentary ”Occupation 101: Voices of the silenced majority.” A trailer for that video shows it is anti-Israel:
And what about that British raper, Lowkey? In February, we featured some of his “best” hits — songs such as this one which rails against (as the video’s title says) “Jew Zionist genocide in Palestine:”
And his classic rap “Terrorist,” which accuses America of being, you guessed it, the real terrorist in the world:
Remember, though, it’s all about promoting “justice.”

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 12:50pmStudents have been brainwashed all throughout their time in school. When they finally reach college, they are expected not to think critically at all. They just jump right into the “cause du jour”. With the White House enjoying Al Jazeerah as their “factual” news it is clear that the new Nazi Germany is going to emerge right here in the USA. I hope the Jewish people in America realize they have voted for this for many decades. It has come to be their worst nightmare. George Soros is Jewish – but he hates Jews. How about all the rest of the American Jews? Do they hate their own people too? Hopefully there will be a real election in 2012. The Jewish Americans need to stop voting democrat once and for all.

I do not know about another “Nazi Germany” but…, I see events unfold that give me better understanding of Hitler’s rise to power IN Germany.
This is yet another post from Wonderland where down is up and up is down. Of course we’re painting the roses red.
I am weary of watching the “LIE” become the truth and the “TRUTH” become the lie.
What astounds me is the absolute IGNORANCE of those who support the “Palestinian Cause”. They ignore history.
This shiksah stands with Israel! I wish more American born Jews did!
Odd is it not? When Palestinians are injured in these skirmishes that they instigate they are treated at Israeli hospitals with compassion.
Yasser Arafat was a monster who added billions to his coffers defending “The Palestinian Cause”. His widow is living in a Parisian penthouse. Hmmm.
Get an Atlas and look at brave little Israel. This tiny democracy, surrounded by countries with dictators who support the lie of the “Palestinian Cause”just to keep the money flowing into their own personal coffers, should be embraced by EVERY citizen of these United States.
The MSM( Palestinian lovers all)could not justify the heinous slaughter of the Fogel family so they ignored it. That is beyond reprehensible!
This Rapper Lowkey is just another member of an EVIL club that perpetuates the “Palestinian LIE” for filthy lucre, and the ignorant sheeple feel good about themselves embracing their “Cause Du Jour”.
I wish I knew how long ago “Journalists” stopped adhering to “The Journalist’s Creed”. I AM willing to say that a majority of todays MSM never heard of it.

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 12:24pmWe’ve posted often here II Chronicles 7:14 which is an encouragement for CHRISTIANS and which shows OUR responsibility to GOD.
However, we should also read very carefully, reverently and humbly Deuteronomy, chapters 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 to get the picture of what HE will do if we choose not to follow HIM.
There are so many in this world, and increasingly more it seems in AMERICA, who are choosing to thumb their noses at GOD, JESUS and THE HOLY SPIRIT.
CHRISTIANS and JEWS, we must be on our knees begging GOD for our countries, both USA and ISRAEL; pleading for HIS mercy on us; and asking HIM to renew HIS SPIRIT within us. We must also stand up against blasphemy, which this usf action is.
If we are going to rallies, I suggest that we write POSITIVE signs, quoting SCRIPTURE from THE HOLY BIBLE, and/or THE TORAH. satan has no power against the WORD OF GOD. satan can and will at every opportunity twist our words to his benefit. That is why we must use GOD’s WORDS always and in all ways.
JESUS’ heart is broken not by the actions of the unbelievers but by the unbelief and inaction of HIS followers.
Gird up, CHRISTIANS and JEWS. Get ready for THE BATTLE of our lives. JESUS IS HERE AND HE will defend and will walk with HIS KIDS AND HIS FOLLOWERS. It is up to us to gird ourselves and to stand praying constantly in the SPIRIT….

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 11:33amThe founding Fathers gave us a Form/ Freedom system of government in the Constitution. The form- the laws of the constitution establish the Republic and the way it operates under the restraints of constitutional law. The form guarantees the Freedoms contained therein but there must be added something in the equation to maintain the freedoms which the fathers referred to often. Since the freedoms and the form were derived from the key foundation and key figure contained in this statement “ All men are CREATED equal and are endowed by THEIR CREATOR with certain unalienable rights” the founding fathers understood that God and religion operating in the hearts of men was the necessary power to keep and properly maintain the form and the freedoms it would afford all those upholding it and the source it came from. When we destroy religion and morals out of society we destroy the power to maintain the true foundation of our freedom. Secular Humanism or any of the other ism’s are a deadly disease to true American liberty and individual freedom. The systematic silent destruction of Christian or biblical morality by modern Secularism is completely lethal to real freedom and democracy. You can’t destroy the roots of individual sovereignty and expect to live in a peaceful and free society or world for very long. When elite humans determine what is right and wrong arbitrarily, tyranny oppression and slavery are just around the corner

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 11:53amA group of ignorant University students who have never lived in Israel. They don’t know the fear of rockets coming in at night and indiscriminately landing on someones house killing or maiming the residents. They don’t know about the fear of riding public transportation, knowing that some homicide bomber may be on board. They don’t know about butchers who creep into a home and slaughter the residents, even slashing the throat of an infant. They don’t know about the hundreds of incidents of terrorism perpetrated by the Palestinians which never are reported by the news media.
These young students, for the most part are children of limousine liberals, raised in protected gated communities and influenced by the biased reporting of the Communist mainstream media. They just plainly don’t know any better. They should try living in the border areas in Israel for a year and continuously wonder if they will be next to be blown up or targeted by a sniper.

Overall, USF serves as an alternative for rich kids that don’t have the grades to go to FSU or UF, read USEFUL IDIOTS!!. USF is nothing but an indoctrination center for progresives AND it is has one of the largest student populations in the country!! Let’s not forget all of the middle eastern “guests” that came to Tampa to attend Professor al Arian’s terrorist – uh, I mean electrical engineering courses.

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 12:52pmROCKET ATTACKS ON ISRAEL
Rockets are again being fired into Israeli cities, killing and maiming innocent citizens. These attacks have continued for years with brief unofficial armistice occurring whenever it was to the advantage of the aggressor. Israel’s retaliation for these attacks are demonized by the press as evil attacks against innocent civilians but there is no outrage about the rockets being fired randomly into the Israeli cites, maiming and killing innocent citizens. Despite years of “Peace Talks” and concessions by the Israelis, the rocket attacks continue whenever it is to the advantage of the aggressor. Any retaliation by Israel is always demonized by the press.
The most important fact about this Mid-East conflict is that the initiation of the violence is always against Israel. If the aggressors ceased the attacks there would be no retaliation and there would finally be Peace in the Mid-East. What a tragedy for the tyrants!
The reason for the rocket attacks?
Report Post »1. The tyrant requires an enemy to retain power
2. Israel has produced considerable wealth and that wealth is available for the Tyrants to plunder.
3. Compare the tyrants to the Somalia Pirates; the only different is the scale of the attacks and the positive press the tyrants enjoy.

Posted on April 18, 2011 at 1:18pmThe first time the palistinian state might have been established was in 1917 under the league of Nations. The next opportunity was in 1948, and again the so called palistinians refused the land given them by the United Nations, instead they and their Arab brothers attacked the newly established state if Isreal, a new but long standing nation on that very ground for over 3000 years. Needless to say, the Arabs lost, big. Isreal annexed some of the territory that might have been a palistinian state, spoils of war, but Jordan and Egypt seized even greater parts. Do the palistinians require Egypt and Jordan to return the land they seized, of course not. For the issue has never been about land so to speak, it is about isreals GOD vs. Lucifers children.
