So the University of Pennsylvania (@Penn) is hosting an antisemitic hate festival this month, bringing together some of the world’s most notorious antisemites. Under the guise of a “writing” festival, the event at UPen brings together literally the who’s who of Jewish hate and Israel vilification. Some of the speakers include: 🔴 Salman Abu Sitta who said The Jewish state has an insatiable appetite for violence. 🔴 Susan Abulhawa who claimed that Israel’s actions are worse than the genocidal nazi regime responsible for the holocaust 🔴 Bill Mullen who said he wants to “de-zionize” campuses in America 🔴 @palumboliu who wants Israel to be the most hated contry in the world. 🔴 @marclamonthill, famously fired from CNN for his calls to “free Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea,” a chant used by Hamas terrorists that means the complete destruction of the Jewish state, was also graciously invited to this hate fest. 🔴 And of course the guest of honor, the grand master of hate @rogerwaters, who constantly uses antisemitic tropes to describe Jews and the Jewish state and it’s imagined power and just wore a SS-Nazi uniform and desecrated the memory of Anne Frank at his recent concert in Berlin. He’s going to be there too. This event’s participants are like the all star team of jew haters. They are the supergroup of discrimination and the Hall of Famers of marginalization of ancient ethic identity, AND it’s happening on the Eve of Yum Kippor, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Accident? I have a question for UPenn: Is there a limit to the derogatory and bigoted hate directed at Jewish and Zionist students and faculty that would be sufficient for you to make a statement? Or will you continue to allow the world’s oldest form of hate to roam your campus free? How do you think this event makes your Jewish students feel? Join me in urging President Magill and the Administration at UPenn to disassociating from this hateful conference and stop antisemtism from coming to UPenn. tinyurl.com/email-upenn
