Palestinian Terror On Campus

On November 2nd Front Page Magazine reported that College Republicans at
San Francisco State University, who were distributing Bush/Cheney
campaign materials, were attacked by Palestinian and Arab students from
the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS). A hostile mob gathered
around the College Republicans' table. Campus police arrived quickly but
asked the Republicans to evacuate their table rather than protect them
from their attackers. 
 A day later, the Palestinians again converged on the Republican
students when they set up a table to recruit new members. Up to 300
people from the GUPS, Muslim students on campus and radical leftist
groups such as International ANSWER mounted a noisy demonstration in
which death threats were made against two of the College Republicans.
Flyers were passed around accusing the College Republicans of "attacks
on Arab women" and calling for their removal from campus.
 
One might expect in such a situation that SFSU President Robert Corrigan
and his administration would act quickly to protect the campus community
in general and College Republicans in particular from such organized
mayhem. But through his spokeswoman, Ellen Griffen, Corrigan chose
instead to hold the College Republicans equally accountable and to
dismiss the FrontPage reports on both incidents calling the magazine a
"sensationalist Internet site."
 
The FrontPage stories were based on police reports of the incident, but
SFSU officials called media unfamiliar with those reports to brand
FrontPage's reporter a "liar." University officials continued to blame
"both sides" for the incident, despite the fact that the College
Republicans were the victims of an unprovoked attack. Corrigan's knows
the facts, because he has access to the police reports, but he has
chosen to ignore them. One of the College Republicans, Victor Traycey,
now faces disciplinary hearings the same as the GUPS members who
attacked him. To see Corrigan's spin letter click here.
 
I have taken President Corrigan's letter sentence by sentence and
transposed parts of it here so that Front Page readers can see the
difference between what occurred in reality and what President Corrigan
and Ellen Griffen spun for public consumption. My comments are in
brackets.
 
Corrigan Paragraph 2: "…last week's noisy and angry campus encounters
between students of opposing political views have left me deeply
disappointed with the behavior of some on both sides." [Corrigan also
denies there was a "mob" surrounding the College Republicans.]
 
According to the police report of the incident prepared by a SFSU Police
Officer B. Hicklin who was at the scene: "Upon arrival, I saw a large
group of people congregating around a Bush/Cheney supporter table…four
unknown female subjects were having a loud verbal argument with
approximately eight Bush/Cheney supporters. Approximately fifty other
unknown individuals were surrounding the four unknown females listening
to the argument…" [The tactic here – well-worn among Palestinian
leftists -- is to put women to the front and then claim that the targets
of their assault are harassing them.]
 
Hicklin's superior officer at the scene, Captain Borja, ID #301, who
listed his report as Incident #041054, stated the following about the
same incident: "I saw a crowd of approximately 50 people…The crowd was
getting larger and the discussion seemed to be getting confrontational.
I could hear people shouting in the crowd, "F—k Bush!"…I was watching
both sides of the table and watching the females becoming more and more
agitated [Yet the officers never told the Palestinian females who were
leading the attack to move on.]…I could hear people in the crowd also
shouting at the men staffing the [Bush.Cheney] table. The volume of the
yelling was so loud, and so many people were yelling at the men behind
the table, I had trouble deciphering exactly what was being said…I
looked down and saw that someone had poured a soft drink on one or more
of the signs on the table."
 
[Contrary to the spin of campus media spokeswoman Ellen Griffen, and
President Corrigan, there was obviously an angry mob of 50 people
threatening the handful of conservative students who merely set up an
informational table to exercise their rights to free speech. The police
reports fail to mention that the females and the Arab men were wearing
keffiyahs – the headdress made into a symbol of jihad by Arafat and were
thus dressed for battle not there as curious onlookers. Nor do they
mention the terrorist threats by the women to blow themselves or the
College Republicans up in suicide attacks because of the Republicans'
support of President Bush. Eyewitness reports to this are in the hands
of the police and the FBI.]
 
Captain Borja continues his report of the first day: "I knew that at
this point the crowd was so enraged that I had to act quickly to get the
people who were staffing the table out of the area for their safety. I
instructed them to gather their things and I would see them out of the
area. I escorted two young men in the direction of the gym. As we were
walking, I explained that I was doing this for their safety and mine. I
explained to them that the crowd was hostile, and I wanted to make sure
they were safe." (Emphasis added.)
 
Contrast the above police report with the presentation by Robert
Corrigan that the incident was just a shouting match between a few
students or with Ellen Griffen's claims that there was no "mob" and that
the attackers who pounded on the Republicans' table and shouted
obscenities and threats were merely exercising "free speech." During the
second demonstration, the crowd besieging the College Republicans was
reported to consist of as many as 300 people.
 
One of Republican students who was physically struck is now facing
disciplinary hearings for defending himself and his property. Another
who witnessed the event was grilled for three hours by Ellen Griffen and
the campus police who even insinuated if he helped the College
Republicans make an issue of their free speech rights being violated, it
could jeopardize his future career. The student has asked his name be
left out of this article for fear of reprisal.
 
According to Officer Hicklin's report, the Palestinian female who
started the altercation, Nala Gardizi, gave the campus newspaper an
alias name as being Nala Mohammadi, spelling the name for the reporter.
She told the officer who made the incident report that she was arguing
about " Iraq and Abbu." Abbu is a reference to Abu Amar, an alias for
Yasser Arafat. The police report fails to contain what several
eyewitnesses told me after the event:  Ms. Gardizi herself made
terrorist threats and references to suicide bombings. Ms. Gardizi is an
Afghan national and not a U.S. citizen, which might explain why she gave
out an alias. Mazouza Assaf, a Palestinian-American student made
additional threats that she would blow up the College Republicans at the
second demonstration, according to an eye-witness report.
 
Officer Hicklin reports that Gardizi declined to press charges against
College Republican Victor Traycey even though her girlfriends insisted
she do so.  However, that didn't stop her from returning two days later
with the GUPS again and distributing posters calling for the permanent
removal of the College Republicans for "attacks on Arab women."
 
Corrigan's comment: "To label this encounter, largely between eight
students, an anti-Semitic "Intifada" and the work of a "mob" is to
"distort reality." [The fact remains that the crowd accused the College
Republicans of being Jews and its demeanor and attire are well-within
the meaning of the word "Intifada."]
 
Corrigan describes the second demonstration as a "noisy but nonviolent
confrontation …that grew into an impromptu anti-Bush rally of 150-200
students. We have found no evidence that the GUPS (General Union of
Palestine Students) initiated either this or the Monday event."
 
But photos taken at the scene show members of the GUPS carrying signs
and Palestinian flags and distributing leaflets calling for the College
Republicans to be removed from campus because of alleged attacks on Arab
women. This was hardly an "impromptu" demonstration.  The
Marxist-Leninist group International ANSWER a close ally of the GUPS on
the SFSU campus, posted a call to action to aid the GUPS in a
demonstration on the day after the election – again showing that this
was no impromptu affair. (For an indication of how International ANSWER
and the GUPS cooperate as part of the anti-globalist and pro-terrorist
Palestinian movements, click here. "Calls to action" have been going on
for years.)
 
Corrigan claims that "exchanging charges of "racism" and "anti-Semitism"
with others because of their political affiliation rather than dealing
with the substance of the political differences is a dishonest dead
end…On this campus, free speech does not mean free rein."
 
However, the Muslim student club on campus routinely passes out
documents on campus attacking "Zionists" (Jews) without comment from
Corrigan's administration. Similarly, despite campus rules about posting
club flyers only in designated areas, there are flyers posted on doors,
lampposts, and every campus wall as part of International ANSWER's and
the GUPS's anti-America and anti-Israel agenda. Neither group is ever
disciplined or admonished for these breaches. The message in the public
square at SFSU is always anti-American and anti-Israel. SFSU did not
even celebrate Veteran's Day choosing to conduct business as usual on
the campus.  But the campus does commemorate Caesar Chavez's birthday.
The student union building has a mural with the slogan "By any means
necessary" written on it, a call to violence as a means of achieving
political ends and used by organizations like the International
Solidarity Movement – with prominent support on the SFSU campus -- as a
euphemism to support terrorism and suicide bombings. All of this takes
place on Corrigan's taxpayer-supported campus where Jewish and now
conservative students cannot feel safe. No wonder the police
automatically chose to ask the College Republicans to leave rather than
tell those harassing them to disperse. SFSU practically belongs to the
GUPS and other radical groups as the result of an administration that
looks the other way.
 
In fact, the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs from President
Corrigan's administration was present during the first attack and
approved the police decision to ask the College Republicans to leave
rather then having the police deal with the attackers. telling police to
tell their attackers to move along.
 
Captain Borja's police report: "I made contact with Dr. Bowman,
(Associate Vice President for Student Affairs) who was standing in the
crowd and informed him that I was going to ask the College Republican
Student Club to leave the area for their safety as well as mine. I had
two officers to assist me with the hostile crowd of about 50 students.
The four women, including Gardizi were shouting "f—k you" at the men
behind the table, pounding on the table, and becoming more agitated. Dr.
Bowman acknowledged that I would be asking the men behind the table to
leave."
 
Why did Dr. Bowman just observe? Why didn't he tell the four Arab women
screeching obscenities and menacing the students to move on or face
discipline from his office or the police? Why didn't he respect the free
speech rights of the College Republicans? And given the police report,
why is he placing disciplinary charges against the victims?
 
The General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) has other chapters in
Europe and Gaza. Many former GUPS are now members of Fatah, the terror
organization that was run by Yasser Arafat until his death. Saeb Erekat,
Yasser Arafat's right hand man was a former GUP at SFSU and  Hatem
Bazian, a Palestinian professor at UC Berkeley who recently called for
an Intifada in America was a member of the SFSU chapter of GUPS as an
undergraduate. In the past, the GUPS website at SFSU linked to HAMAS and
even the Holy Land Foundation shut down by the US government for funding
Al Qaeda.
 
Given this history, is it any wonder that members of the GUPS
organization on the SFSU campus were confident enough to attack the
College Republicans?
 
SFSU and the Corrigan administration already have a shady past in
dealing with the GUPS. Two years ago after Jewish students who were
peaceably demonstrating for Israel on campus were attacked by the GUPS
so ferociously that it was necessary to call 25 off-campus city police
officers to escort the Jewish students to safety. While Corrigan wrote a
statement after that event as well, also accusing the media of
"sensationalizing" the attacks and again laying partial blame on the
victims of the GUPS, his response to the attack was to create a new
Muslim Studies Department on the SFSU campus. (At the same time he had
to close down the School of Engineering for budgetary reasons.) In this
incident Tatiana Menaker, a Soviet Jewish refugee and middle aged mother
of three children, was brought up on disciplinary charges. Ms. Menaker's
crime was to respond verbally to an attacker who said "Hitler didn't
finish the job." The university punished her by requiring her to do 40
hours of community service, but specifically not for Jewish
organizations (this was a demand made by the GUPS).
 
Corrigan's academic expertise, it should be mentioned, is on the
anti-Semitic poet Ezra Pound. Corrigan was one of the founders of Ethnic
Studies – the centers of ideological politics on American university
campuses. On my last visit to the San Francisco State campus I noted
that the Ethnic Studies Department had a banner with a communist red
star and a fist through it at its entrance and a bulletin board
encouraging visits to Communist Cuba with a picture of a machine
gun-toting guerrilla.
 
In an article that appeared on FrontPage about anti-Semitic,
pro-terrorist activities on the SFSU campus I reported how Tatiana
Menaker was falsely accused by administrators of making "death threats"
against an anti-Israel English professor. Menaker had asked the
professor – a Jew – if she realized that her Palestinian allies would
kill her within an hour of their victory. Menaker was banned for five
years from the campus causing her to seek legal help and support outside
the campus which resulted in her reinstatement.
 
The GUPS have been granted a private office in the SFSU student union
building for 15 years by the Administration. Other campus groups must
rotate their offices because of the lack of space. Even after the
violent threats on Jewish students two years ago caused Corrigan to
respond by holding back the group's funding for a year, they never were
made to relinquish their office. Their privileged status no doubt is an
encouragement to their aggressive agendas.
 
The situation at San Francisco State University cries out for reform.
Unchecked, the forces that the university administration allowed to grow
will result in real violence sooner or later. It's time for Governor
Schwarzenegger to convene a commission to look into the situation at San
Francisco State

E' un giornale online dichiaratamente Rep. E quindi? Ti risulta che

 che gli fa comodo, vero?
No. L'ho letto, e lo trovo francamente pieno di cagate.
Credo sia nel mio diritto.

 Credo sia nel mio diritto.
Ah, ecco, questo è già un diverso argomentare. Bravo Aber.
Però, a parte le cagate, c'è anche una notizia. Rilevante, irrilevante,
non so. A me personalmente fa impressione che in una università
americana principale, una folla di facinorosi attacchi un tavolo di
studenti repubblicani e li faccia smobilitare, mentre la polizia non
interviene. E questo per due giorni consecutivi.


 interviene. E questo per due giorni consecutivi.
A leggere quell'articolo c'è davvero da mettere le mani sul fuoco che le
cose siano andate davvero così.
Ti segnalo:
"The FrontPage stories were based on police reports of the incident, but
SFSU officials called media unfamiliar with those reports to brand
FrontPage's reporter a "liar."
Chissàpperché.
"Corrigan's comment: "To label this encounter, largely between eight

Chissà perché il rettore Corrigan rischia la faccia a fare di queste
dichiarazioni.
Sembra l'ennesima replica della sagra delle povere vittime.
Chissàpperché.

 scrive una storia basata su quei rapporti. A te?
A me sembra di avere letto dei quote a caso, che non sia stata riportata la

Non ne dubitavo, Aber. Proprio no.
Ti rinnovo quindi i miei complimenti per il tuo zelo antirazzista,
nonché per la cultura del dialogo.
