Chancellor Christopher J. Molloy and Provost Francine Conway of Rutgers penned a letter condemning the rise of anti-Semitism in America. Then, the next day, he apologized to the students for writing the letter. Molloy ends up implicitly endorsing the argument that criticizing antisemitism in the United States is anti-Palestinian.
Reason The original Wednesday letter written by Rutgers Chancellor Christopher J. Molloy and Provost Francine Conway stated that the “recent resurgence of anti-Semitism demands that we again call out and denounce acts of hate and prejudice against members of the Jewish community and any other targeted and oppressed groups on our campus and in our community.” The letter referenced the current Israeli-Hamas conflict in neutral terms, that was weak enough.
The Rutgers-New Brunswick chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine group complained because they didn’t focus on the Palestinian suffering. Never mind that the Palestinians are Hamas, are an Iranian-backed terror group. And it isn’t Palestinians who are being attacked in the U.S., it’s the Jews.
On Wednesday, the chancellor and provost sent out the statement below:
This milquetoast statement, however, was too much for Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine, which seems to argue that antisemitism in the United States for some reason should not be addressed until SJP’s grievances with Israel are addressed.
Unbelievably, this led the Chancellor to apologize for his initial condemnation of antisemitism:
In his apology, he wrote, “In hindsight, it is clear to us that the message failed to communicate support for our Palestinian community members. We sincerely apologize for the hurt that this message has caused.” Since when does criticism of anti-Semitism have to be accompanied by support for Palestinians?
But wait, there are even more demands from the Hamas terrorist supporters at Rutgers:

Islamic WAR STRATEGY — Muslims Cry Victim when Muslims are the perpetrators.
Muslim fiends have been threatening, terrorizing and violently attacking Jews all over America, Britain, Europe and other countries.
Iran’s proxies, Hamas, started the war and fired over 4,000 rockets at Israelis. Some of the rockets landed in Gaza.
The Muslim terrorists use women and children as human shields. They store and fire rockets from hospitals, schools and mosques.
Every human injured and killed in Gaza (and Israel) is the direct result of Hamas terrorists.
Muslims declare Israel/Jews are guilty of what Hamas perpetrated.
Linda Rivera says
FREE God’s HOLY LAND of Israel from MUSLIM OCCUPATION!!!
13th Century Arab biographer Yakut noted: “Mecca is holy to Muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews.”
TRUTH is irrelevant to Muslims. Warlord Mohammad’s god is called The Greatest Deceiver in the Quran WAR Book.
There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity.
SHOCKING! – Hamas member admits there is no such thing as a Palestinian people

This is a severe medical condition that these two suffer from that really needs to be addressed, a total lack of guts.

They probably knew what would happen when they wrote the first letter.

Good christ man…
Are any non-Muslims going to be in charge of anything in America in 5 years’ time?
And… this is what you call “learning”? This is supposedly the young people of America shining at their best?
We are basically living in a repeat of the 1930s now.

Good question, and very scary.

Unfortunately its the same story here in 🇨🇦, aswell as in all of western Europe! If any civil or holy war still needs fighting and I have no doubt whatsoever that it will, beside a handfull of remainder younger ‘old souls’; rest assured it will be mostly up to mostly older males of our generation to fight these wars! The only shimmer of hope left are the alliances of the Visegrad countries, who still to this day practice old school common sense rules & laws with ethical governments!

What are these two lunatics made out of – Jello? Don’t they even have the intelligence to understand that being against Anti-Semitism does NOT make one anti-Arab. And, BTW, there is no such thing as a “Palestinian”. In addition, what these palestinian Arabs mean by “justice” is the obliteration of the State of Israel – “from the river to the sea”. How DUMB can these two nitwits be?

Another bunch of virtue signaling teachers, who just proof to the world that they’re part of the usual gutless leftist weasels party!
