Professors at University of California Create ‘Faculty for Justice in Palestine’
“left-wing faculty believe that criticism of the radical tactics and genocidal aims of the major Palestinian national movements exposes their students to abuse”
It’s bad enough when students are doing this, but now faculty members are getting in on the act.

University of California Professors Organize ‘Faculty for Justice in Palestine’
Faculty at University of California campuses are organizing “Faculty for Justice in Palestine” groups, ostensibly to protect pro-Palestinian students from accusations of antisemitism and support for terror.
The Los Angeles Times notes that pro-Palestinian activists are waking up to the fact that early support for the Hamas terror attack against Israel in the days after October 7, and rhetoric about getting rid of Israel, have hurt their broader messaging efforts.
But left-wing faculty believe that criticism of the radical tactics and genocidal aims of the major Palestinian national movements exposes their students to abuse.
The Times reported Thursday:
The effort to form Faculty for Justice in Palestine groups is part of a national movement that has taken off at nine of the 10 UC campuses, along with Princeton,New York University and Rutgers, among others. Faculty organizers said they were propelled to act by what many described as a singularly dangerous time for academic freedom and free speech, with the lives, careers and safety of campus Palestinian supporters on the line.
…
The organizing effort comes as Israel supporters said Jewish students on campuses across the nation have been subjected to hostile rhetoric against them and have experienced acts of escalating antisemitism. Many Israel supporters criticize the Students for Justice in Palestine campus group for what they regard as threatening actions. The student organization was recently suspended until the end of fall term by Columbia University for violating school policy leading to an “unauthorized event” that included “threatening rhetoric and intimidation,” according to a campus statement.

They shouldn’t hide behind that euphemism but ought to be proud to identify as what they really are – Faculty for Pogroms in Israel.
“It’s bad enough when students are doing this, but now faculty members are getting in on the act.”
Pretty sure the students don’t enter college as raving lunatics — how do you think they become them in the first place?
