Israel Apartheid Week is intended to build support for the BSD movement, which is dedicated to an academic boycott. Brandeis just disinvited Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Condoleeza Rice just withdrew from speaking at Rutgers because of protests. I don’t remember you posting about the free speech implications of those actions, so you don’t appear to have a problem in principle with disinviting, or refusing to invite in the first place, people with whom you disagree. So why do you have a problem with a synagogue making a statement about something it holds important? Does it all depend on whose ox is getting gored to you?

So, this university administrator was disinvited from participating in a Holocaust day remembrance event because he followed a legal opinion that told him that he had to allow an Israel Apartheid Week event to take place on campus. You know, that whole free speech thing. In case anyone cares about that. I'm thinking, if the Zionist establishment is going to play like this, we may have to #occupy YomHaShoah. Let's see how they like that. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/04/29/a-wakeup-call-winnipeg-synagogue-disinvites-university-president-after-he-permitted-israel-apartheid-week/<http://cp.mcafee.com/d/5fHCNAe6x0SyOqejhOCye7nd79KVJ6X2atQrLL6QrI8FThhKOrhKMyDt6XVEVdETohjKyyy-rgEjZnol1iTOCaaX0NV7BPqTOCaaX0NV7BPtA_vsspvW_9LFIenvWZOW8VBXCnPhOMUCPORQr8EGETvVkffGhBrwqrhdFCXCXCM0sfckW6PBm6DHlFfBYjKyNBScjd7eqncqlZJoLrjPOVyk8imYynEmxF6F5LOW4GiwpBfW5SUic_6AFByWQvF93UjbWXfUBOvBRLyHas_gbOF7vfbWJIpA_AwncvVn3qQjd3HFThJvjhOeKsJY2VVsxlK5LE2zVkDjHkrIjBqLuwSrs7nvdCBIbv0Kuqnjh01Brmrmb6y03Rl2-z1eKAOhJcsrUOct> -- Robert Naiman Policy Director Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org<http://cp.mcafee.com/d/2DRPoAd38Orhpd79EVjh73HCzATsSztx5eWdTTzqdS4kXEETpdETohjKztYQsCQrI8FThhhvdEk9-HIawFrVj55twoYzOVJrVj55twoYzOVKOvLKecLZvATQS7bLZuVt4sOZPbVEVosjpVqWdAklkrLYG7DR8OJMddFCQPtPtPo08hrFdSIvAhwJk-lyT00jqQjd3HFThJvjhOeKsJY2VVsxlK5LE2zVkDjHkrIjBqLuwSrs7nvdCBIbv0Kuqnjh01Brmrmb6y03Rl2-z1eKAOhJcsrGjFWWFYf> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (202) 448-2898, extension 1
