National Apartheid Week Sparks Discussion on Campus

From March 18 through 22, Students for Justice in Palestine will be hosting multiple events for the internationally held apartheid week.

There are a variety of events lined up, including women in liberation movements, Black-Palestinian solidarity and the Palestinian health crisis, which will give insight into the Palestinian experience. Many of these events are held in collaboration with other organizations, such as IGNITE and the center for Pan-African culture. Other organizations, such as Hillel, will be offering support for those discomforted by apartheid week. 

Elaina Matricardi has the full story.

    People are not discomforted with “Apartheid Week,” people are hurt by the normalization of a campus group, known to have ties with terrorism and its lies, a group with homicidal genocidal aspirations. No matter how this group successful markets their agenda to marginalized groups, it doesn’t make up for the fact that Hamas and the extreme Muslim agenda of religious holy war is a danger the world must be concerned with. American university campuses like Kent are being used.

    Can a state where
    *citizens of minorities serve in the army including high command ranks,
    *represented in the parliament and in the government,
    *participate in general and local elections,
    *have judges at all ranks included in the Supreme Court
    *fully integrated in the society
    be an “apartheid state”?

    Absolutely not. You can criticize policies but to be truly constructive, leading to a lasting solution, stick to the facts.

    Learn the facts,!

    SJP is propagating hate on campuses including ours by promoting false messaging, this raises antisemitism and arguably also islamophobia.

    I handed out fliers, posted fliers on bulletin boards, but these were removed illegally.
    Shame on SJP for contributing to hate messaging instead of helping discourse by addressing facts.
    Shame for SJP for violating freedom of speech rights by removing my fliers.
    Shame on our administration for not responding to hateful events.
