A group of concerned alumni of Yeshiva University's Cardozo law school has
set up a website to oppose Jimmy Carter's appearance there on Wednesday, and has sent out the following email to fellow alumni.
Dear Cardozo Alumni and Friends of the School:
On Wednesday April 10, 2013 - that is this Wednesday -, Jimmy Carter will be honored at Cardozo to receive
the International Advocate for Peace Award from the Cardozo Journal of
Conflict Resolution.
Jimmy Carter has an ignominious history
of anti-Israel bigotry. He is responsible for helping to mainstream the
antisemitic notion that Israel is an apartheid state with his
provocatively titled book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid”, the
publication of which prompted mass resignations from the Carter Center.
He has met numerous times with leaders of the terror group Hamas
whitewashing their genocidal goals and undermining US efforts to isolate
Hamas. And Carter’s record of slandering Israel is so voluminous that
both CAMERA and Alan Dershowitz have written books refuting his lies.
While Carter may be credited for the role he played in the Camp David
Accords as President of the United States and the resultant cold peace
between Israel and Egypt that ensued, that event took place close to 30
years ago. Since the end of his presidency, Jimmy Carter has exhibited
extreme antipathy towards Israel – and by extension the Jewish people –
that places him firmly in the camp of the likes of Walt and Mearsheimer.
It is simply unconscionable for a Jewish affiliated school
to honor someone who has played such a high profile role in demonizing the Jewish state.
We therefore urge you to condition any continued support of
Cardozo, be it financial or otherwise, on the cancellation of this event.
Please also take 2 minutes out of your busy schedules to
contact the Dean of Cardozo and President of Yeshiva University to
express your outrage. Contact details are below.
We have established a website at www.shameoncardozo.com where you can find more information.
Please share and forward this email with your friends.
Silence is complicity.

Hmmm.
I put a similar urging onto a UCSD Alumni group on Linked In as regards the recently passed BDS divestment vote in the student govt, Also, the University of California, San Diego somehow (is it in the rules that way?) allowed the publicly supported student govt to hold a SECRET BALLOT of the supposed student body representatives in order to pass the resolution, which had failed multiple times before.
ReplyDeleteBut the administrator of the UCSD Alumni Linked In thing took it down. Everybody needs to check out what is going on with their donation recipients and DO NOT give money to these New Left marcuse marxist caliphate type enablers. And start squawking about their receipt of public money when they are acting like one-note dictators.
Damn straight!
