186 Jew Haters at Claremont College Join #TheList
Thanks for the bulk submission, guys and gals (sorry, we have no other categories)!
This requires very little introduction. You can read the string of lies from a pack of over-credentialized idiots below. These misguided folks are 1000% wrong about the Moral War to Eliminate Hamas for the Benefit of All Humanity. That’s okay - they’re allowed to be wrong. Most of the faculty at the seven Claremont Colleges are likely wonderful, moral, hardworking people. That does not change the fact that 186 of their number are Jew Hating scum who deserve to have their support for Hamas amplified and shouted from the rooftops, so parents of current or prospective students are aware of the prevalence of appalling Jew Hatred on these campuses.
I am getting carpal tunnel syndrome from typing repeatedly that all the problems in Gaza are solely due to Hamas’s evil governance. Israel is not “occupying” anything or anywhere; it left Gaza in 2005. There is no such place as “Palestine,” aside from an historical artefact of Roman Imperial rule. Israel is the only democracy in the region; there is no “apartheid” in Israel - it is a fully integrated society.
All the territory of Israel was firstly given to the Jews thousands of years ago by God.
Even if that were not the case, all of their territory was either allocated by the British Mandate in 1947 OR taken by the Israelis during defensive wars which were initiated by evil people trying to eradicate Israel and kill all the Jews, which is Hamas’s animating goal to this day.
If the Fakestinians laid down their rifles and missiles, there would be peace and prosperity in Israel and the region.
If the Israelis laid down their arms, there would be no more Israel.
See my earlier essay on why it is crucial for the survival of Western Civilization that we root out the Marxist Jew Haters from our universities:
Below is the recent idiocy published by 186 Jew Hating Useful Idiots at Claremont. Unlike the Left, I am not going to try to hide their statement. I am even doing them a favor by amplifying their views. They are wrong factually and morally, but that is not a crime. Have a look at their statement; I am happy to debate with each and all of them and anyone out there who believes these absurd lies.
Claremont Consortium Faculty Statement on Gaza
October 31, 2023
As faculty at the Claremont Colleges, we continue to watch with concern the escalation of violence in Palestine and Israel; to mourn, without reservation, all loss of human life in Gaza, in Israel, and across the occupied Palestinian territory; and to lament the suffering of civilians throughout the region, whose targeting is prohibited by international law.
At this time, we are especially concerned for the welfare of residents of Gaza, who have already suffered for nearly two decades under Israel’s blockade that has trapped over 2 million Palestinians in an enclosed, densely populated area. In retaliation for the Hamas attack on civilians and military targets on October 7, Israel has tightened that blockade, depriving Palestinian civilians of water, electricity, and food. “We are putting a complete siege on Gaza,” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated on October 9. “No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we will act accordingly.” This dehumanizing language is characteristic of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Recently circulated Israeli think tank and intelligence ministry documents lay out plans for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza in preparation for Israeli settlement.
The Israeli bombardment since October 7 has, as of October 30, killed over 8300 Palestinians in Gaza including entire families and children, and has destroyed or damaged Palestinian homes, schools, universities, mosques, churches, and hospitals. This onslaught has displaced over one million Gazan residents, who have no safe place to take refuge. Israel has bombed the Rafah crossing, the sole land-entrypoint into Gaza not controlled by Israel, disrupting the flow of aid to besieged Palestinians, even as the US is supplying additional military hardware to Israel. This most recent siege and bombardment is the fourth such campaign in 15 years, attacks that have killed thousands of Palestinians, perpetrated by one of the world’s most powerful and nuclear-armed militaries against a vulnerable civilian population, the majority of whom are refugees from successive waves of displacement by Israeli settlement and ethnic cleansing since 1948.
This is a new and alarming phase in the long record of violence, displacement, and colonial domination of Palestine. As UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese has stated, the current situation is the result of “decades of oppression imposed on the Palestinians, brutalization, structural violence of course punctuated also by eruptive violence.” The roots of this new phase lie in a well-documented 75+ year history of Israeli settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid.
Although it may have been exacerbated by the rise to power of the most extreme right-wing coalition in Israel’s history, the ongoing violence and terror inflicted by the Israeli state must be understood in the context of this settler-colonialism and Israel’s apartheid regime, which has been documented in exhaustive detail by the world’s most respected human rights organizations, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, as well as by the United Nations and by one of Israel’s most established human rights organizations, B’Tselem. The past year alone has seen repeated incursions by Israeli military into towns and villages on the West Bank and attacks by extremist settler gunmen, who have burned Palestinian homes, murdered Palestinians, destroyed their crops, and terrorized families into leaving their homes and farms. However, the dispossession, displacement, and repression of Palestinians across historic Palestine has been the policy of every Israeli government since 1948. Israel-based legal rights organization, Adalah, documents over 65 laws that discriminate against Palestinians within Israel. The military occupation of the West Bank has led to two distinct legal regimes that systematically privilege the rights of Israeli settlers in illegal settlements while denying the most basic rights of housing, freedom of movement, and security to Palestinians. In occupied East Jerusalem, Palestinians are daily evicted from their homes to make room for settlers and are under constant threat of losing residency rights. Palestinians are subject to arbitrary arrest and indefinite detention without charges: two in every five Palestinian men have been arrested, and among the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons are at least 170 children, many of whom have been subjected to intense interrogation and even torture.
These conditions, as enumerated by multiple human rights organizations, violate international law on multiple counts. As the New York Times reported on October 10, “Israeli airstrikes flattened mosques over the heads of worshippers. At least two hospitals, and two centers run by the Palestine Red Crescent, have been hit. So have two schools run by the U.N. agency that helps Palestinian refugees.” This is in line with Israel’s pattern of targeting civilians, hospitals, schools, places of worship, and entire neighborhoods over decades. Without an acknowledgment of this context, condemnations only of specific acts of violence perpetrated by Palestinian armed groups can serve to disavow the roots of violence under a seemingly neutral mask of humanitarian concern. This is particularly the case for successive US administrations and their Congressional backers who have for decades provided material support and political cover to Israel’s apartheid regime and are therefore complicit in its every individual act of violence and in the total system of injustice that US aid enables. In fact, “The United States has given Israel more than $260 billion in combined military and economic aid since World War II.” Alarmingly, the US is currently bolstering its military presence in the region. Given this backdrop of one-sided US aid, we urge US citizens who wish to condemn any instance of violence in Israel/Palestine to recognize US complicity in Israel’s apartheid regime and its expansionist project of dispossession and ethnic cleansing. Without that commitment, the repudiation of one form of violence and endorsement of another is hypocritical.
If we repudiate violence, we are then bound to engage in an active practice of non-violent activism and organizing to transform the conditions that sustain and reproduce militarism and violence. In the case of Palestine, that action has been clear and effective. Palestinian civil society has unanimously called for a campaign to impose Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) on Israel until it 1) ends its siege of Gaza and its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantles the Wall; 2) recognizes the fundamental rights of Palestinians in Israel to full equality; and 3) implements the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194. In the US, that campaign has already had a major effect in transforming public opinion. But only a redoubling of BDS efforts in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation from settler colonial domination can make the complicity of the US state politically unacceptable. Along with student groups already working on the cause of justice for Palestinians, we urge all those concerned at the Claremont Colleges and beyond to further the emancipation of Palestinians from apartheid and colonial domination to redouble efforts to promote BDS on campus and in professional associations and civil society organizations everywhere.
We further share our outrage that Zionist advocacy organizations have subjected and continue to subject Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students and faculty, students of all backgrounds who advocate for Palestinian rights, and faculty of all backgrounds who teach on Palestine and Israel to bullying, harassment, and suppression of their right to free speech. The Center for Constitutional Rights and Palestine Legal have termed this suppression “the Palestine exception,” where all forms of public advocacy, self-representation, and freedom of speech are permitted except in the case of Palestine. In addition to violating constitutional free speech rights, such closures on critical social thought and public discourse violate academic freedom, are antithetical to the missions of our Colleges, disrupt our capacity to fulfill our professional, scholarly, and pedagogical responsibilities, and stifle our students’ efforts to engage in public political action. We reject all forms of discrimination, including Islamophobia, anti-Muslim racism, anti-Arab racism, and anti-Semitism -- which should not be conflated with critiques of Israel or Zionism. As reaffirmed in a recent statement by the Claremont Colleges AAUP Chapter Executive Committee, we therefore insist that each of the Claremont Colleges uphold academic freedom and the right to freedom of speech for all community members.
We stand in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and with our colleagues in occupied Palestine. We invite our colleagues and students to learn about Palestinian history and to recognize their full humanity. We ask our administrations to reaffirm their commitment to academic freedom and freedom of expression without threat of censure or retaliation. We call upon our colleagues in Claremont to join us in this solidarity, by contacting Congressional representatives to demand a ceasefire, supporting BDS efforts, and upholding academic freedom and free speech protections for all community members. For additional actions you can take, see the websites of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights and Jewish Voice for Peace.

Wow! That statement was a big pile of crap to read over with proud names after it.
