Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations on Tuesday shared Israeli intelligence information with the UN Security Council showing Iran funneling weapons to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, highlighting the continuing threat posed by the Tehran regime and its Lebanese proxy along Israel’s northern border. “In the years 2018-2019, Israel found that dual-use items are smuggled into Lebanon to advance Hezbollah’s rocket and missile capabilities,” Danny Danon — Israel’s envoy to the UN — revealed to the Security Council.

Presidential Candidate Hamas Official Tells Cory Booker Rules Out Iranian Leader Group Potential Meeting With Is Tehran Regime’s Louis Farrakhan ‘First Line of Defense’

The letter says further that adoption of the resolution would mean that the association would be “sponsoring an inequitable and discriminatory policy” that violates SSSP’s by-laws. It also asserts that “a blacklist of Israeli academic institutions harms all SSSP members by restricting their academic freedom to work with scholars from other institutions around the world.” The boycott would restrict the freedom that is “essential” to association members, without which they “cannot fulfill their professional responsibilities,” it adds. In addition, the letter observes, it is Israeli academics who are “instrumental thought leaders in the movement for a just peace.” The letter concludes, “To deny these freedoms to one group of scholars on the grounds that others are deprived of them is logically inconsistent and morally indefensible. We believe these fundamental principles must be upheld for scholars of every nationality, at every academic institution, everywhere in the world.” The pro-BDS resolution was co-authored by Melissa Weiner, an associate professor of sociology at the College of Holy Cross, and Johnny E. Williams, a professor of sociology at Trinity College. The resolution calls on the SSSP to endorse “the call for a boycott of complicit Israeli academic institutions articu- lated by our Palestinian colleagues until they end all forms of complicity in Israel’s grave human rights violations and publicly distance themselves from these violations.” In an email to The Algemeiner, Weiner and Williams explained, “Our resolutions address the ongoing lack of Academic Freedom for Palestinians, as imposed by the Israeli government. As you can see in these resolutions, we are not targeting individual Israeli faculty, only Israeli academic institutions as representatives of the Israeli state. Therefore, we are not limiting Israeli academic freedom in any way. Instead, we are calling attention to the lack of academic freedom experienced by Palestinians.” Weiner and Williams also asserted that since the call for boycotts of Israel originated in 2004, “the US are already late in responding to this civil, non-violent campaign for justice.” They also expressed their hope that just as boycotts led to the end of apartheid in South Africa, “we believe this will be true for Palestine as well.” SSSP Vice President William Cabin told The Algemeiner that since the resolution had only been proposed, the association “has not taken a position on it.” Miriam F. Elman, executive director of the Academic Engagement Network (AEN), commented, “If the two SSSP members who proposed the ‘Resolution on BDS’ really cared about the academic rights of Palestinians then they would be focusing not on Israel, but on how the Pales- tinian Authority and Hamas routinely silence open inquiry and punish those who oppose them. The Resolution’s 19 endnotes are top-heavy with the propaganda of virulently anti-Israel NGOs and non-scholarly websites. With these sources providing the ‘data,’ it’s really not very surprising that it fails to mention a single threat to freedom of speech coming from Palestinian authorities themselves.” In addition, Elman noted that implementing a boycott of Israel would indeed compromise academic freedom, pointing out that “by shutting down study abroad programs, for example,” those supporting the boycott “would punish their own students.” A6 | FRIDAY, JULY 26, 2019 Opinion.

The reason: Israel’s refusal to Israel and its victories over its Arab enemies. It was in Morocco, where several thousand Jews have remained, that the first massacre of Jews in the 20th century occurred — in Fez, on April 17, 1912, after Sultan Mulai Abd al-Hafid signed a treaty that turned Morocco into a French protectorate. For the people of the country, this handing of the reins of authority to a Christian ruler was an act of betrayal. Unable to attack French people, the Arab mob opted to attack Jews and their properties. Fifty-one Jews were murdered, and many homes were looted. On August 3, 1934, a Jewish tailor in the Algerian town of Constantine cursed Muslims and insulted Islam while drunk. The result: pogroms against the local Jews that killed 25 and wounded 38. In June 1941, the Farhoud broke out in Baghdad. About 200 Jews were murdered and thousands wounded by their Arab neighbors. Jewish property was looted and many homes were set ablaze.
