Pro-Israel, Jewish NYU students file civil rights complaint for “extreme anti-Semitism” on campus

Pro-Israel and pro-Jewish students at New York University filed a civil rights complaint alleging the school failed to act properly in addressing the activities of the NYU Students for Justice in Palestine that gave rise to “extreme anti-Semitism” at the school.

The complaint was filed with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights on April 22. Jewish Journal reported it claimed NYU violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by failing to properly handle SJP’s actions. However, the school rebuked the accusations, saying the complaint “denied the real record.”

New York University students filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Office of the U.S. Department of Education alleging that the school failed to act properly against “extreme anti-Semitism” on campus. Google Maps The complaint highlighted multiple instances that it claimed SJP acted in a way that fostered “extreme anti-Semitism,” including the university’s decision to give SJP the President’s Service Award. The award recognizes students who have made “significant contributions” to the university. Newsweek reached out to SJP but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Sher described the award as the “straw that broke the camel’s back” and noted that alumni were “flabbergasted” by the university’s decision. “We’re not going to let them stand by and support Zionism,” SJP President Khalid Abu Dawas told Washington Square News, NYU’s independent student newspaper. “Our point is to make being Zionists uncomfortable on the NYU campus. They shouldn’t be comfortable because the ideology of Zionism is antithetical to Palestinian liberation and Palestinian sovereignty at its core.”

Yup it’s not because of Trump and the “Jews will not replace us crowd”. It’s because of liberals caring about Palestinians.
