The Islamo-Leftist political movement won a victory in overcoming Los Angeles civic and Jewish objections to University of California at Los Angeles ("UCLA") hosting Students for Justice in Palestine's the National Conference.
L.A. City Councilman Paul Koretz and the L.A. City Council appealed to UCLA Chancellor Gene Block to decline hosting the NSJP Conference. Block claimed in a press release he was legally obliged to. However, UCLA denied conservative author, Milo Yianopolous a venue on the same campus. Councilman Koretz explains his perspective in this video interview.
In May 2018, Students Supporting Israel at UCLA put on a club lecture featuring Jewish, Kurdish and Armenian people presenting their connection to their lands. Watch how Students for Justice in Palestine menaced and threatens the presenters and attendees, vandalized their personal property, and maliciously took-over the event.
Mr. Ali Adi, an Arab-Israeli citizen flew to UCLA with Reservists on Duty to contest the SJP conference and present his favorable life experience as a Muslim-Israeli to those who will listen. He expresses his view of the SJP movement and their leftist JVP colleagues exploiting Palestinians for political gain.
An attempt to chronicle the SJP conference check-in was rebuffed by JVP's Estee Chandler and a representative from SJP. A request for a spokesperson to discuss the conference was declined.

Jewish parents protest Muslim SJP-club's bigotry and hostility towards Jewish students on UCLA campus - at SJP's Nat'l Convention hosted at UCLA, 11/18/18. Protesters assert that campus police reverse-discriminating leaves Jewish students vulnerable to potential Muslim/Palestinian-supporters' hostility.
Christian-Israeli, Jonathan Elkhoury, explains his experience of Israel as free and just - in contradiction to the national convention of (Muslim) "Students for Justice in Palestine" who advocate overthrow of the Judeo-Christian oasis in the Middle East - at Univ of California at Los Angeles, Friday Nov 16, 2018.
Miri Shepher, Board of Directors of the Israeli-American Council said that Israelis like her came down to party with SSI and show support for Jewish presence on campus.
Rudy Rochman, founder of Coumbia Univ's "Students Supporting Israel" counters "Students for Justice in Palestine" convention at UCLA the obvious history that Jews living in Judea can't be considered occupying as they are the INDIGENOUS people of Judea.
To avenge SJP's busting-up SSI's "Indigenous Peoples United" Event at UCLA in May, leaders of Students Supporting Israel infiltrated the highly-guarded Students for Justice in Palestine conference - to unfurl an Israeli flag on-stage. We interviewed the other avenger, Ilan Sinelnikov, National President of Students Supporting Israel.
Mr. Ali Adi, a Muslim-Israeli disputes the intentions and claims of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) outside the opening of their 2018 National Convention at University of Southern California (U.C.L.A.) Nov. 16, 2018.
Arab-Muslim, Ali Adi, came to UCLA to present an impression about Israel's free society for Muslims (and other minorities) in contrast to the Far-Left/Islamist activist convention of S.J.P. being held on the UCLA campus. Mr. Ali Adi was the guest of the Univ of Calif club, Students Supporting Israel, who have been menaced in the past year by the anti-Israel activist, Students for "Justice" in Palestine on California campuses.
Islamo-Leftist activists have garnered power by scapegoating "colonial Zionists" for impeding Palestinian sovereignty. The global exposure of Palestinian "sufferage" at Israel's hand (typically provoked (or faked) by kleptocrat, Palestinian politicians) vilifies Jews all around the world. Anti-Israelism is so strong in liberal Ireland, for example, that their capital city which once elected a Jewish man Mayor of Dublin, that much of Ireland's Jewish population preceded France's Jews in emigrating from Europe. North Americans are now fighting in common cause with European Jewry against Leftist anti-Semitism cloaked in anti-Israelism, particularly noticeable on-campuses.
11 Jewish congregants were killed at Pittsburgh's Etz Chaim Synagogue
On
Rav Meir Kahane's 28th yahrzeit, in the wake of the Pittsburgh
synagogue massacre, former Jewish Defense Leaguers Fern Sidman and
Shannon Taylor assess the state of anti-Semitism from the far-right and
the far-left. Was Pittsburgh massacrist Robert Bowers inspired by Pres. Donald Trump? Is Pres. Trump anti-Semitic? A friend or foe of Zionists?
Rabbi Meir Kahane's Jewish Defense League rallied for police protections, deploying civic patrols and retaliatory deterrents
The Pittsburgh Etz Chaim synagogue massacre occurred near this week of Rav Meir Kahane and Yitzchak Rabin assassinations, and Kristalnacht. On the 28th anniversary of the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, acolyte Mr. Shannon Taylor recalled in video the context of the event and its aftermath. He assesses the Kahane and Jewish Defense League legacy in Jewish leadership today. Recorded November, 2018 in Manhattan. Question: This is the 28th commemoration of the night of the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane. What was the event like to your recollection?
Mr. Shannon Taylor, eyewitness to Islamist assassination of JDL leader Rabbi Meir Kahane
Taylor: I've been, as I said, on every unhappy event that ever would take
place. I was also at Avery Fisher Hall
when Arafat came in with his two guns -
and Bruce Teitelbaum and Suri Kasira and Mayor Guiliani's head staff, Mastro, the new chief of
staff told me he was there with his guns. I was the first to challenge him and
I was going to take the picture of a
lifetime like I took the picture for
evidence of the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane on November 5th 1990 at 9:00 p.m. at the Marriott Hotel not too far
from here on the eastside. But I was so
mad at Arafat I couldn't concentrate on
the picture and I took his ponytails. And
the result was that I'm still looking
for jobs because I could have retired on
that picture. But every Jew in that place
hugged him. They hugged Arafat, the same ones who condemned
Kahane and wouldn't have him in B'nai Zion-invited Arafat in the B'nai Zion
when he was on that tour. He was
uninvited to Avery Fisher Hall and after
I challenged him, Rudy Guiliani (to his
credit and he got credit from all over
the world for this because I put the
story in the Post enough the New York
Times) Rudy Giuliani summarily threw him out
he left with a whimper.

through the neck at the east-side Marriott in Manhattan in the first Islamist terror attack on US soil. Police had no translators for his Arabic documents containing plans to blow-up the WTC. (Photo: Shannon Taylor)
And on Kahane's assassination, I want you to
know the police station was no more than
five minutes away- but it took 20 minutes
for them to get there. And the detectives have since been
dishonorably investigated. And they
commingled all the evidence the
Homeland Security took away every
evidence that was relevant. I went
to Jeff Sessions who was the head of the
FBI who believed me it was a conspiracy. As did the A.D.A. Greenbaum from
Morgenthau's office. And Sessions was
fired by Clinton because he didn't want to
have anything to do with fighting
terrorists. And then New York was
supposed to be a terrorist-ridden city ,
so they didn't publicize anything the
stories died away and Nosair was
acquitted the first time! Question: What was the
scene like?
Well, picture that synagogue
today in Pittsburgh. Picture a guy in a
civilian crowd well nobody has a gun (except my friend Ralph Elder who had
just left). And in comes a gunman and
shoots him right square in the face
where I was standing. And I was taken
away from security so this could be done.
So you wonder about the security, you
wonder about the enforcement. But Kahane was so strong and so healthy at 58 - 10-years younger than Meir when Meir died
that his heart beat for another hour.
But
the same Jewish doctors who couldn't
save him - saved his assassinator, Nosair.
El Sayyid Nosair mugshot 1993
And Nosair said it was a Jew killed him, it was a Jew! And counselor a Jew came to
defend him when Ron Kuby who was not a
Jew but pretended to be a Jew and a
member of the JDL. It was the farce of farces - on one side were all of Al Qaeda . Everybody involved in the bombing in 9/11 was there protesting in
favor of the assassination of Kahane. And
everybody who was a righteous Jew was
on the other side protesting them!
And
when the sentence came down that
acquitted the murderer of the murder
that everybody knew he did, even
Schlessinger, my mother-in-law's opera
mate, who I had a sit next to the judge
who never got certiorari after that to
stay on longer,
he said the verdict make no sense and because of the evidence I had of the
gun that I saw Nosair had (I took a
picture of he spent another year and a
half in jail) and so they had the
evidence when in '93 the World Trade
Center blew up the first time to keep
him there after that event and then read
in Arabic what they should have read in
the beginning. It' still didn't help them for
9/11.
No matter how many times I warn the
mayor and his staff and them and the FBI
and so on they were all blind deaf and
dumb as they are today
- except for Trump.
Trump is the only
person who was seeing and hearing and
knows. And because all the villains of
the world know he knows - they condemn him
instead of saying "come and rescue us!
Come bring in more terrorists! Don't keep
them out!" This is the Jewish
organizations' answer. And there's a
protest tomorrow for Trump, so we're on
the streets, too.
Question: Who's on the streets?
The ones who believe in the Trump
administration, that America protects
Jews at it did my father who performed the
French and American armies and in the
resistance and the Israeli independence
War. He came here found a marvelous life
in this marvelous country and these
bastards are not going to ruin it. And the
media that protects them is not going to
ruin it. And the politicians on
the Left are not gonna ruin it. They are
losing - they will lose, they will always
lose. Am Yisrael Chai! As Carlebach wrote for Meir Kahane's rescue of Soviet Jews.
Question: Do you believe there
was a conspiracy to hide El Sayid Nosair's notes about leading to the 1993
World Trade Center bombing?
No question
that there was a conspiracy and the death of
Meir and Binyamin Kahane. Binyamin
killed on the Millennium and Israel and
Meir killed November 5th, 1990. But it was not
a conspiracy to conceal the notes the
notes were there nobody wanted to read
them nobody in law enforcement bothered. I went to every . . . I went
to every law-enforcement agency the
Federals confiscated most of it and they
didn't have Arabic translators. And Morganthau's office was convinced it
was one person on Prozac. Like the one
who downed the Egyptian airplane who was
out of a job and who was in fact
an emissary of the PLO.
Etz Chaim synagogue massacre memorial
These are not lone soldiers!
They are part of conspiracies with deep money and deep training. And the one who went into the (Pittsburgh) temple today was an
assassin! He had us he had rifles and
handguns and only experts use! And he led
his men know and his women know who watch
his blog that this is the day and we're
too dumb to recognize it or take it
seriously! Meir Kahane took it seriously, as did Shlomo Carlebach. They brought Jews to
Judaism, they said not one inch from
Israel, and they would have protected us
today - but we don't have any Jews today
to protect us anywhere!
I might add that Dov Hikind was in the forefront of always
protecting Jews. And he was there in
Crown Heights when the locals went up
against us and the Mayor Dinkins and his
staff were told by Governor Cuomo to do
nothing. So if you're expecting
protection from government, or you're
expecting protection from your friends,
you're not gonna get it.
Speaks with my father's voice who went through
everything, that God Almighty
should see us through. We have the
strength and the intelligence and the
ingenuity to overcome all adversity - but
we don't have the ability to confront
ourselves. We have to, somehow or other ,
put reason in the minds of people who
are normally reasonable. To see who the
enemy is - that this is not an
Orwellian world - that there is right and
wrong there are no gray areas where
events like this take place. The
assassination of Kahane or the death of
Carlebach, where they should have had a
defibrillator on the plane. Now he would
have been alive today and now they do. And certainly not a synagogue that
should have had guns.
But I want to make
one last point- that Cincinnati, that
everybody talks about. The Democratic
mayor the Democratic white mayor of
Cincinnati allowed the Nazis to hold submachine guns in front of the
synagogue doors.
Question: No, you mean Charlottesville?
Yes, Charlottesville.
I love Cincinnati of course, it has
challenged me but I love Jefferson. So they allowed the machine guns in
front of the synagogue doors the entire
morning and that's the responsibility of
the mayor and his police to have removed
them. And the Jews had to go out through the
back. But our days of going out through
the back or depending on law
enforcement are over! We are now going to
take ourselves very seriously against
our own enemy and against the enemy from
outside. And I put my faith and trust in this administration with Trump and Governor Cuomo - because they are both
very good friends of the Jews and have
always been."
Fern Sidman, editor-in-chief of the Jewish Voice of New York weekly newspaper (and former activist with Rabbi Meir Kahane joins the discussion).
Ex-JDL'ers on Kahane's yahrzeit- anti-semitism on the Left and Right, but is Pittsburgh Trump's fault?
Shannon Taylor: Obviously no one ever condemned
anti-semitism from a White House
stronger than Trump. Certainly not FDR- who sent six million Jews to their death- happily! And it's certainly not Truman
who begrudgingly allowed Israel a few
months to breath. No, this is the finest
president for Jews and the most against hate. And this guy (Bowers) has hate-sites of
Trump on his web. He has said over and
over again that Trump is a globalist and
not a nationalist. He would never have voted
for him. And the other guy, with his silly
pipe-bombs that don't explode because he
doesn't know what he's doing and wasn't
meant to- he was a hanger-on who wasn't
the supporter either he just a hanger-on
like the guy who followed John Lennon for
six months until he shot him. You have to
understand that these are maneuvers used
against us, against the Jews, against the
Trump administration (who is a best friend
of Israel ever) to try and derail
momentum before the midterms. That's what
this is. These are not isolated acts and
they're certainly not done by Trump people. Rather quite the contrary
so on this night of Rabbi Kahane's yahrzeit. Question: What words would you have for Jews who are feeling sympathy, obviously
at this time and don't have an outlet
for expressing their indignation against
this anti-semitism? Fern Sidman: Look, Jews can always have an outlet for expressing their indignation. You know Jews are great writers, they can
be on radio programs, they can organize
within themselves. They can realize that self-defense is not something
that's verboten- that's not something
that's evil. That Rabbi Kahane implored Jews to learn to use guns to
defend themselves. And I think it's very
important for American Jews to realize
that the alarming escalation of Jew-hatred didn't just happen yesterday or the day before. It's been slowly
percolating over the last few decades.
Fern Sidman, Editor-in-Chief, Jewish Voice of New York
It's high time for Jews to realize that the real enemies, the ones who are
fomenting anti-semitism in the world, yes are the sick hate-filled people like
Bowers. But the real enemy are the BDS
movement that has taken over our college
campuses. Every single campus has an
Israel Apartheid Week. Mr. Taylor, I'm
sure, will elaborate on his recent
experiences at Columbia University. BDS
to those folks who don't know is Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel. It's a movement that was created to
economically, academically, culturally, politically boycott Israel. Question: But
are you saying that the that the BDS
movement is a bigger problem than
outright anti-semitism from the far left
and far right well I think that the
anti-semitism from the far left
especially I mean we're talking about
the ante for people and the far right
has all got it is be the wind beneath
their wings is the BDS movement the fact
that you see with a person says look I'm
anti-israel they'll go on campus oh yeah
Jewish I have nothing against you could
shoot you I just need Israel don't
believe it
Israel's the bogeyman in the world it's
the Jew of the world when Israel is
attacked the Jew is attacked and those
two isms anti Israel it it they're
inextricably intertwined and nobody can
really debate that and yes there are
anti-semitic websites and anti
but we living at a time where people are
not doing enough to stop the expression
of hatred against Jews on campuses and
who's not doing enough the ADL the
liberal Jews to say but what about the
freedom of speech freedom of expression
we can't silence them because if we
silence them there will be silence and
so on and so forth no it's high time to
speak the truth to challenge the BDS to
be out there and to have sympathetic
media behind us we already have the
president behind us but to talk about
the dangers of BBS is really an ethereal
thing once you here we occurred a
Columbia University courtesy of Mr.
Taylor I am sure your image of
us will change. Shannon Taylor: I agree with everything
that Fern said and she says it mildly. I
might add she's very mild appear to be I
have gone to Tufts University I've given
panels at Columbia on diversity we have
an organization of diversity
multiculturalism Tufts University
developed from a anti-Zionism course
- now colonizing Palestine it's a
symbolic of what's happened to all the
universities at Columbia it escalated to
the point where all free Diane the
daughter of the Consul General to New
York was assaulted and threatened and
feared for her safety and went out
publicly and to show you the paucity of
our ranks you asked about the Jewish
establishment leaders there are none
there are no leaders we have no leaders
anymore Carl Beck was a leader Kahane was a leader snoozer was a leader there
are no leaders today except Netanyahu
who has his hands full they even go
after his wife for God's sakes at
Columbia every member of the Faculty of
political science and South Asian
departments is a Muslim or hates Israel
and Jews and they condemn every Israeli
and Jew see and they tell you if you
don't even have brown eyes you're not
entitled to Israel and and bigger affect
their grades and their graduation who
would want to go to these schools anyway
but did you send the money and the Jews
want to go
they don't know but I'm telling you that
hatred it's from the BDS movement first
spoke about and yes that is a far
greater danger in America
than these isolated right-wing people
because I'm sure they're coordinated I'm
sure that's a conspiracy I'm sure
they're meant for political purposes and
to try and dissuade voters but though
BDS means hate against Jews in Israel
across the world.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks interprets Bible's Parshat Chayei Sarah optimistically for reconciliation between descendants of Isaac and Ishmael. Excitement is growing for the annual Shabbat Hebron starting tonight Nov 2nd, 2018, Parshat Chayei Sarah.
From atop the Hebron Observatory, David Wilder shows us dominant
Muslim habitation area from which Jews are prohibited from entering
Hebron Community spokesman (retired), David Wilder, showed JooTube the Jewish perspective of Hebron. He shows us the synagogue built atop the Cave of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, explains how the Jews keep this area safe for Jews and Christians to worship, and shows us the contentious conditions the Muslim impose upon Judeo-Christian worshippers.
(Step through the video playlist menu from the upper left corner) The Hebron Fund offers English speakers an opportunity to experience this unique Shabbat with trained tour guides and a chance to hobnob with political celebrities like law professor Eugene Kontorovich of the Kohelet Policy Forum. Shabbat Hebron has humble beginnings in the 1990s and today has grown to thousands with last year's weekend breaking the record at 35,000 people. The highlight of course is the Tomb of Machpela complex, built 2,000 years ago by King Herod the Great to house the Cave of the Matriarchs & Patriarchs.
The atmosphere of Shabbat Hebron is both festive and with a sense of purpose. Tents dot the lawn across the the Cave of the Patriarchs as people camp out and picnic for Shabbat. Of course the reading of Parshat Chayei Sarah takes on a greater significance, as one stands in the Tomb of Machpela while hearing of our Abraham purchased the site as a final resting place for his beloved wife Sarah. After Shabbat, the festive scene continues as music fills the streets from BBQs. Special tours that take place during the weekend are the Hall of Isaac and Rebecca, a section of the Machpela complex that includes the actual entrance into the underground double cave. Tours of the historic casbah and Tomb of Otniel Ben Knaz will also take place.
The Hebron Fund will be again sponsoring a special program for English speakers.
The language of the Torah is, in Erich Auerbach’s famous phrase, “fraught with background.” Behind the events that are openly told are shadowy stories left for us to decipher. Hidden beneath the surface of Parshat Chayei Sarah, for example, is another story, alluded to only in a series of hints. There are three clues in the text.
The first occurs when Abraham’s servant is returning with the woman who is to become Isaac’s wife. As Rebecca sees Isaac in the distance, we are told that he is “coming from the way of Be’er-laĥai-ro’i” (24:62) to meditate in the field. The placement is surprising. Thus far we have situated the patriarchal family at Be’ersheva, to which Abraham returns after the binding of Isaac, and Hebron, where Sarah dies and is buried. What is this third location, Be’er-laĥai-ro’i, and what is its significance?
The second is the extraordinary final stage of Abraham’s life. In chapter after chapter we read of the love and faithfulness Abraham and Sarah had for one another. Together they embarked on a long journey to an unknown destination. Together, they stood against the idolatry of their time. Twice, Sarah saved Abraham’s life by pretending to be his sister. They hoped and prayed for a child and endured the long years of childlessness until Isaac was born. Then Sarah’s life draws to a close. She dies. Abraham mourns and weeps for her and buys a cave in which she is buried, and he is to be buried beside her. We then expect to read that Abraham lived out the rest of his years alone before being placed beside “Sarah his wife” (Gen. 25:10) in the “Cave of Machhpelah” (Gen. 25:9).
Unexpectedly, however, once Isaac is married, Abraham marries a woman named Keturah and has six children by her. We are told nothing else about this woman, and the significance of the episode is unclear. The Torah does not include mere incidental details. We have no idea, for example, what Abraham looked like. We do not even know the name of the servant he sent to find a wife for Isaac. Tradition tells us that it was Eliezer, but the Torah itself does not. What then is the significance of Abraham’s second marriage and how is it related to the rest of the narrative?
The third clue to the hidden story is revealed in the Torah’s description of Abraham’s death:
And Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people. Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the Cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre, the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Het. There was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. (Gen. 25:8–10)
