This was the campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, of course.
The Jerusalem Post reports:
UNC chants of ‘no more Hillel’ met with cheers on campus During a rally hosted by the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) on October 9, one speaker called for “an end to study abroad programs in Israel, academic research citing Israeli universities, and university divestment from Israel and Israeli-supporting companies.” The speaker continued, “No more Hillel.”These words, it was reported by the student newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, “were met with cheers from the crowd.”SJP issued a statement to the newspaper that Hillel is “a fundamentally Zionist network masquerading as a Jewish campus organization.”Hillel is a 100-year-old Jewish campus organization serving more than 180,000 students each year at more than 850 colleges and universities around the world.Much of the organization’s programming focuses on Jewish learning, observing the Jewish holidays and Shabbat, arts and culture, and building the elements of a meaningful Jewish life.A few days after the rally, UNC conducted its installation of its new chancellor. Demonstrators outside the academic hall where the installation took place chanted, “It is right to rebel, UNC burn in hell.”One of the benefits of free speech is that when people say foolish things, everyone gets to see them be foolish.
