Legislators Call on NY Governor Kathy Hochul to Ban Anti-Jew Groups From Campuses
“It’s been growing on a number of campuses and seen most acutely in the City University of New York.”
This needs to happen in every state. What happened to all the students who demand safety on campus?

Legislators call on Hochul to ban anti-Jew group from NY campuses
In a letter to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a bipartisan group of legislators called to ban Hamas-supporting organization Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) from college campuses in the state. There are at least 30 of these groups currently operating at 21 New York colleges.
In the letter, the legislators state that the group has “spewed hate and endorsed violence, from NY college campuses.” Indeed, Campus Reform has reported several instances of the national group promoting violence and anti-Semitism, including a “Day of Resistance” held by the group’s national chapter just five days after Hamas’ attack on Israel.
The legislators went on to say that “[t]his is a civil rights issue, it is an equal protection of the law issue, and it calls for bold action and moral courage. Jewish students have a right to an education free from persecution, harassment, intimidation, and threats to their physical safety.”
In October, Hochul acknowledged the problem of anti-Semitism on campus following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, announcing that the City University of New York system would undergo a state-issued review of its anti-Semitism policies.
”We will take on the antisemitism we have seen on college campuses. The problem didn’t begin with the weeks following the Oct. 7 attacks,” Hochul said. “It’s been growing on a number of campuses and seen most acutely in the City University of New York.”
City University of New York campuses are home to many active SJP chapters.
Campus snti-Semitism watchdog AMCHA maintains a database of “anti-Zionist” groups at universities nationwide, including 30 student groups affiliated with Students for Justice in Palestine at 21 public and private universities in New York.

This is smart. Without some specific judicial finding banning the group in toto is probably a violation of free speech. But Princess Kathy has proved that she doesn’t care at all about civil rights. She’ll just go ahead and do it.
No, I doubt she will do it. She only doesn’t care about civil rights when it’s her political opponents. In this case it’s her side that’s protected by the first amendment, so she will correctly refuse to violate their rights.
Is hochul dog whistling to the jewish hate groups??
Why is she like that??
Why is she like this? Because she can.
Beng locked up one-party rule, the proconsul’s of NYS demonstrate what The Screaming D’s would do nationally , given the chance.
Ironically, the NYS farm team when positioning themseoves to go national, demonstrate that they’re not ready for the big leagues. (Cuomo I & II, Hochel, and The Dowager Empress who used
… who used the Senate as her stepping stone.)
She can’t do that, it would be unconstitutional. Desantis’s heart is in the right place, but SJP has filed suit and it is guaranteed to win, because the ban on it is blatantly unconstitutional.
“What happened to all the students who demand safety on campus?”
Poor ignorant NPCs, who think it’s the job of authorities to GIVE them protection, or that those authorities could do so effectively, even if they really wanted to.
They’re learning the hard way that authorities have biases, that they will leave people they “don’t like” twisting in the wind, and (via apathy or incompetence) also some portion of the people they “do like.”
They’ll finally figure out what the Second Amendment was all about, and that it is far from an “outdated, outgrown” right.
Or at least the ones who survive will.
If they are acting within the law but are saying things people don’t like then it will be hard to ban them. If they are spewing hatred, intimidating people and promoting violence then that is different, ban them.
A better idea would be to expel those students who harass, bully and assault other students.
Spewing hatred is protected speech. So is promoting violence, so long as it remains mere advocacy. And intimidating people is something that happens in those people’s heads, so they can’t legally be held responsible for it. It’s not their fault if their protected speech makes some people feel unsafe. Isn’t that what we’re constantly claiming when it’s lefty snowflakes who claim to be intimidated by being misgendered or by someone relating some fact that doesn’t accord with their worldview?
If they are making credible threats of violence, or if they are behaving in a way that constitutes assault (i.e. putting people in reasonable fear of imminent violence), then don’t just ban them, call the police and have them arrested. If it doesn’t rise to that level then it’s protected speech.
The goblins’ behavior is are daily making any threat more reasonably credible, and imminent.
Interesting how this will play out across who’s being threatened, and who’s doing the threatening. Wearing a white robe and hood in a black neighborhood in the heat of a southern US night, was a pretty immediate threat not so long ago. Northern suburban trick or treating as Caspar, not so much. Tying the wrong pull rope to your Nascar garage door was quite the threat just the other year.
I think anti-Jewish threats chanted in a NY school are a lot more credible & etc. right now than a week ago. When they do what they tell you they’re gonna do, maybe believe them the next time.
No, it wasn’t. Not in any legal sense. Nobody who did so could be arrested for it, or be punished by the government in any way.
Caspar is more associated with Xmas; I think you meant Casper 🙂
No, it wasn’t. No state action was ever taken, nor could any have been taken. In fact that whole fuss was fake from the beginning; nobody actually felt threatened, or thought there was a threat, they just pretended to so they could exercise some righteous outrage. It was nothing but theater.
No, they aren’t.
But they haven’t. Nobody has acted on these “threats”.
