The backlash over the settlement of Northwestern University with pro-Palestinian protesters continues to mount. In a letter acquired by The Daily Northwestern, seven out of 11 members of the “President’s Advisory Committee on Preventing Antisemitism and Hate” resigned this week in protest.
Under the controversial agreement, the school will admit five Palestinian students each year, support two Palestinian faculty members annually, create special housing for Muslim students, and add students to Committees to review purchases from Israeli businesses.
The resigning committee members criticized NU President Michael Schill’s failure to seek advice from the committee regarding the agreement.
The Anti-Defamation League criticized the deal, writing: “Instead of holding the perpetrators accountable, the university rewarded them. It would be unbelievable if it wasn’t true.”
Brown University has also been the target of criticism over its settlement with protesters, including a pledge by Brown President Christina Paxson to consider the divestment from all Israeli businesses.
Rutgers may be the next flashpoint for such criticism after agreeing this week to all but two demands by protesters.
— Rutgers accepting “at least 10 displaced Gazans” to complete their studies at the university.
— Plans to create an “Arab Cultural Center” by the fall semester at every Rutgers campus.
— Creation of a “memorandum of understanding” and “long-term educational partnership” with the West Bank’s Birzeit University.
— Use of “Palestine” and “Palestinians” instead of “Middle East” or “Gaza region” in all official university communications regarding “Israeli aggressions in Palestine.”
— Training for university staff and the hiring of experts in “anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racism.”
— Display of flags on campus of “Palestinian, Kurdish, Kashmiri and other disputed territories.”
— “Full amnesty to all faculty, staff, student organizations and students” who took part in the Rutgers anti-Israel encampment and protests the past week.
The two items not agreed upon — divestment from companies that do business with Israel and ending Rutgers’ partnership with Tel Aviv University and the HELIX Innovation Hub — will be dealt with later by the university.
You did not mention that all seven of the people who resigned where Jews, even though the article you linked mentioned it in its very first sentence.
“Seven Jewish members of Northwestern University’s antisemitism advisory committee who stepped down from the body on Wednesday blasted university President Michael Schill….”
What are you trying to hid?? The truth??
Aren’t you a good little antisemitic gaslighter.
I think the omission was an intentional act of deceit, dishonesty even. And I told you Jew I hate the blood of those who persecute and torment the weak and the innocent, your blood Jew. You keep antagonising us kyke………you are going to see where this leads.
I think the omission was . . .
If mind reading was thing . . . but alas, it is not.
@Anonymous: Re: “Aren’t you a good little antisemitic gaslighter…”There’s enough enlightment herein to realize that the most creative and effective rebuttal to ‘the poet’s’ comments is ‘NONE’. Try it, ya’ll.
I hate your fuzxcking guts. Do you understand me you fzxcking jew retard?
Dr Mengele has spoken.
You need to be Moshiached schmuck.
Hullbobby, Browning is stretching the First Ammendment to the limit. After this I will not make any comments about this jerk. Independent Bob.
Netanyahu to Hamas: We will not stop the fight
“This weakness will only bring the next war closer, and it will push the next peace agreement further away. Because alliances are not made with the weak and defeated, alliances are made with the strong and victorious”
“Therefore, Israel will not agree to Hamas’s demands, which mean surrender, and will continue the fighting until all its goals are achieved”
The present suggested agreement ends just before September.
Clearly there is a significant interest in the U.S. for a holocaust. It’s a by product of us being a society that truly doesn’t understand the implications of living in a dictatorship combined with end results of Nixon’s southern strategy blossoming into trumpism, with a base who doesn’t understand their own fascist tendencies….
And this is coming out in backing the work of Netanyahu et.al. in Gaza. Or being enraged at any efforts at negotiations in the interest of Palestinians at all.
I used to think the right was pushing for fascism because they just thought the effects of it would steer clear of them and land on their political enemies instead. But no, I think an interest for a holocaust is the main driver now.
Turley, or more likely Turley’s NIL sold out to fox, might as well put on their cheerleader uniforms and do a pep rally at the cattle cars to Dachau and Auchwitz with this trash piece. Or the sure to blossom trump plan to build deportation prisons for 15 million people. Gee, what could go wrong there? Think the Milgram experiment. Abu Graib. My Lai.
That’s where we’re headed with a trump victory. Even if trump just wants to create a construction kickback scheme with the construction of the prisons.
Emigration reform to mitigate progress at both ends of the bridge and throughout. Stop Obama/Biden’s ethnic Springs. End Hamas, Nazis, and other left-wing groups wars and terrorism in a century’s effort to push the Jews into the sea.
That said, murder… abortion, rape (“sodomy”) and rape-rape of persons of female sex and feminine gender, and torture in the pursuit of social justice is no ethical vice? Jordan forced them out in a 1.5 state solution.
Diversity (i.e. color judgment, class bigotry) breeds adversity. #HateLovesAbortion
You seem too intelligent to blame everything on leftists. It’s extremists that are the problem. Hamas, Al Qaeda, ISIS, The Taliban, Nazis, KKK are extreme right. They believe the whole (nation or religion) is more important than the individual. Communists, anarchists, libertarians, etc. are extreme left. They believe the individual is more important than the whole. Unfortunately, they are so extreme they meet full circle in terms of the methods of achieving their ends. It’s hard to tell the difference between the results of Taliban policies and communist policies. Ironic that they hate each other to the death. They are so adamant about their method, if you don’t follow it, they will extinguish you.
Well apparently someone at Northwestern still is capable of rational thought. So Northwestern now negotiates with terrorists. What true idiocy.
Did anyone here ever read what the IDF did when there was a bomb strike on those aid workers recently. There were charges filed, local and senior officers were relieved of command for failing to adhere to protocols and those were laid out. I don’t think even our military would have been that robust in its response. There was some things done in response, in our armed forces when a drone strike hit the wrong people during the Afghanistan debacle, but it seemed quite minimal compared to the IDF action.
I have Criticized the Israel Supreme Court because they have, I believe, insufficient accountability to their voters and the Knesset but as far as actions on possible war crimes, or accidental civilian deaths, no one pursues remedies as effectively as That Court or the IDF.
But now Northwestern is negotiating with supporters of the terrorists who murder 1200 Israelis, nearly all civilians such as men, women, children and infants. Where are the charges from Hamas, or the Palestinian Authority or the ICC.
This agreement is blatant antisemitism, racism and appeasement in its most basic form.
Luckily I never attended Northwestern but If I did, I would remove my diploma from the wall, suspend all donations and curse them for the cowards they are.
“I have Criticized the Israel Supreme Court because they have, I believe, insufficient accountability to their voters and the Knesset but as far as actions on possible war crimes, or accidental civilian deaths, no one pursues remedies as effectively as That Court or the IDF.”
Absolutely true!
If you “Follow the Money” you get the answers to all your questions to these Jew, Christian & America hating schools.
Look at the contributions to the schools.
Does a foreign student pay the same as a legal American citizen?
Are the Jew, Christian & America hating professors, administrators and board members being subsidized?
Since we are funding them, we have the right to know.
Since the Executive Branch has nothing better to do than interfere with elections, do the same for Congress.
Going after Menendez and Cuellar are just low-level distractions.
“the school will admit five Palestinian students each year, support two Palestinian faculty members annually, create special housing for Muslim students, and add students to Committees to review purchases from Israeli businesses.”
All of this is done to disrupt peace in the Middle East and provide Iran with the right and the ability to produce nuclear weapons, while promoting instability throughout the world by permitting terrorists to flourish.

Exactly!
Please, Officer Slutsky . . .
I have two family members who are Northwestern alumni, and I’ve followed the University’s antics for decades. I’m sad to report that Northwestern has always been a habitat for insanity.
As for the Palestinians, their terrorist organizations have murdered far more Arabs than Jews. They whore themselves out to any despot, like Saddam when he invaded Kuwait or the Iranians when they planned October 7th. And yea, Iran is behind October 7th. I knew a sucker punch was coming when Tehran started kissing up to the Saudis.
Iran put Hamas up to to attacking Israel, but the main targets were Cairo and Riyadh. Arab/Israeli conflicts create major political dilemmas for Arab governments that need Western support. Take Joe Biden’s problems with all this and square it. That’s what Cairo and Riyadh are dealing with.
Iran is also behind the Houthis, as we all know. Every ghetto in the Middle East is plotting something.
Iran loves to play the war card against their Sunni rivals. Biden is weak; Netanyahu is under siege; Tehran saw an opportunity to stir the pot with little risk to themselves and took it.
When the goal is to force Israelis to swim back to Auschwitz, two-state solutions are a joke. As long as Palestinians vote for genocide, there will be no possibility of peace. They vote for war, they get squalor. What’s so hard to understand?
For these many reasons, I chose to live in the United States. Imagine my astonishment when I see little, over-educated white girls ranting on behalf of genocidal maniacs. Where do you move to when there’s nowhere left to go? Switzerland??
Great post, Diogenes.
Thanks, Allan. It needed to be said.
@Diogenes
My wife and I have this conversation from time to time as we are international people, and we come up empty, too. At present, we are being held hostage by global elitism, and there is no question this country cannot take four more years of the DNC. Institutions that are fully captured will need to be gutted.
What the dems have wrought since 2008, but most impressively since January, 2021, will take generations to fix and it ain’t gonna be fun. As whimsicalmama has pointed out, these generations are likely lost and all we can do is let them age out as we move on. It’s quite a concerning conundrum that still hasn’t fully come home to roost; are we really going to just let that happen?
James, I pity our young people. As God flees down the backstairs of utopia, they’ll find out all revolutions from the Left eat their own.
@Diogenes
Likewise. 😐

D: Very well said.
It is Sunday, and I am thanking God for the pro-Palestinians! Between them and the Kiddie-Sexual-Mutilation Corps, maybe they can finally drive some of the Zombie Democrats away from the horrible Democrat Party. That won’t work for the long-term mentally ill, like the shills here, but it might chase away some of the Party’s support. And, I am sure the Jews will become a little more iffy.
A generation raised on news of atrocity upon atrocity committed with impunity, immunity by Israel has finally risen up to say enough is enough! Informed opinion, protest is not antisemitism. Broadcasting facts is not hate speech. Israelis have become evil, perverted and cruel.
Yet, despite Biden losing support from pretty much every group there is,
he might just win with double the amount of votes he got last time!
Riddle me that one, Batman.
Batman says it is obvious why that will happen. There will be another simultaneous 2:00am electrical and plumbing crisis in every big city ballot-counting facility in swing states the night of Election Day. The plumbing crisis will be solved and the lights turned back on as soon as the trucks have delivered their new load of ballots in the back door and they have been run through the counting machines a half-dozen times. No problem.
For 219 years, 98% of American presidents, 45 of 46, strictly adhered to the natural born citizen definition of Vattel in the Law of Nations, 1758 – each president having two parents and a father who were citizens at the time of the birth of the candidate.
______________________________________________________________________________
Centuries after his death it was found that United States President George Washington had a number of overdue library books, dating back over 221 years.
One of them was The Law of Nations.[2][3]
– Wikipedia
“IN THE LONGEST WORK MADISON EVER WROTE, HE RELIED HEAVILY UPON VATTEL TO SUPPORT HIS ARGUMENT THAT THE RULE OF 1756 HAD NO LEGAL BASIS.” [12]
The Law of Nations
The Law of Nations: Or, Principles of the Law of Nature Applied to the Conduct and Affairs of Nations and Sovereigns[Note 1] is a legal treatise on international law by Emerich de Vattel, published in 1758.[1] The Law of Nations has been said to have modernized the entire practice of international law.[citation needed]
Swiss editor Charles W.F. Dumas sent Benjamin Franklin three copies of the book in 1775. Franklin received them May 18, June 30, and July 8 by two couriers: Alexandre Pochard (Dumas’ friend[4] and later companion to Fleury Mesplet[5]) and a man named Vaillant. Franklin kept one copy for himself, depositing the second in “our own public library here” (the Library Company of Philadelphia which Franklin founded in 1731) and sending the third to the “college of Massachusetts Bay” (Franklin used the original name from 1636, not acknowledging the 1639 rename to Harvard College in honor of John Harvard). In December 1775, Franklin thanked Dumas:[6][7]
It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising State make it necessary to frequently consult the Law of Nations.
Franklin also said that this book by Vattel, “has been continually in the hands of the members of our Congress now sitting”.[8][9]
It provides at least a partial legal basis for modern conscription in the United States.[10] In the Selective Draft Law Cases (1918), upholding the Selective Service Act of 1917, the court stated:
It may not be doubted that the very conception of a just government and its duty to the citizen includes the reciprocal obligation of the citizen to render military service in case of need, and the right to compel it. Vattel, Law of Nations, book III, cc. 1 and 2. To do more than state the proposition is absolutely unnecessary in view of the practical illustration afforded by the almost universal legislation to that effect now in force.
In the United States, Vattel was one of the treatise writers that influenced James Madison’s concept of the freedom of the seas in defense of the principle “free ships make free goods” (in other words, if the ships were neutral, than the goods on board were deemed neutral).[11] In the longest work Madison ever wrote, he relied heavily upon Vattel to support his argument that the Rule of 1756 had no legal basis.[12]

OT: An excellent article, “Why Biden Is Saving Hamas”
It is comprehensive, and after reading, one has to wonder why Obama and Biden adopted such a policy. It is a policy of supporting those who openly announce their desire to destroy the US and shows how Hamas has been used against the US and American people’s interests,
I challenge anyone to defend the Obama / Biden policies that intentionally brought war into the Middle East.
https://zoa.org/2024/05/10450452-why-biden-is-saving-hamas-tablet-magazine
President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama did not create a policy specifically intended to bring war into the Middle East. The foreign policies of the United States in the Middle East have been complex and multifaceted, influenced by a range of strategic, economic, and political factors, but they have not been aimed at initiating wars intentionally. During Barack Obama’s presidency, the U.S. policy in the Middle East focused on several key issues: Ending the Iraq War, which was started by the Bush administration. One of Obama’s significant campaign promises was to end the Iraq War, which he followed through on by withdrawing the majority of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. The Arab Spring: The Obama administration navigated the complexities of the Arab Spring, which began in late 2010 and led to civil unrest and regime changes in several Middle Eastern countries. The U.S. response varied by country, involving a combination of diplomatic efforts, economic sanctions, and, in the case of Libya, military intervention as part of a NATO-led coalition. The Syrian Civil War: The Syrian Civil War presented significant challenges. The Obama administration provided support to certain rebel groups fighting against the Assad regime but was cautious about direct military intervention. The U.S. led an international coalition to combat the Islamic State, which had seized significant territories in Iraq and Syria.
Obama gave the OK for Iran to have nuclear weapons. Obama fed money to Iran so that Hamas and Hezbollah could go to war against Israel and populate in other places of the world, including South central America. Today, with Yemen sending rockets, an entire area is coming under greater control of Iran, and this includes the Suez Canal.
All we have heard from Obama and Biden is war. Your excuses and attempts to spread blame fail. Biden’s management of Afghanistan demonstrates his lack of competency. Obama and Biden’s management of Iraq and Syria proved that no one in these administrations should ever hold power. We need to look not only at the Middle East but at Ukraine and a war that never needed to happen. Then, we look at Biden’s corruption involving Ukraine and China.
A superficial look at any of these things demonstrates how shallow and foolish your comments are. However, if you need a more detailed explanation, take just one of your incompetent and superficial comments, and we can discuss it in detail.
To George Washington from John Jay, 25 July 1787
From John Jay

Dear Sir
I was this morning honored with your Excellency’s Favor of the 22d
Inst: & immediately delivered the Letter it enclosed to Commodore
Jones, who being detained by Business, did not go in the french Packet,
which sailed Yesterday.
Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to
provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the
administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief
of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolved on, any but a natural born Citizen.
Mrs Jay is obliged by your attention, and assures You of her perfect
Esteem & Regard—with similar Sentiments the most cordial and sincere
I remain Dear Sir Your faithful Friend & Servt

Law of Nations, Vattel, 1758
Book 1, Ch. 19
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
“Obama gave the OK for Iran to have nuclear weapons.” When you’re done getting high, let’s talk.
Jay and Washington precluded Obama from eligibility for the office of president by way of Vattel’s definition of natural born citizen.
Read the agreement, and take note of the date that Iran could have nuclear weapons, based on the agreement. You know almost nothing, but you aren’t afraid of showing off your ignorance.
FLASHBACK!
“Columbia unrest echoes chaotic campus protest movement of 1968 ”
Early on April 30, 1968, police arrested nearly 700 student protesters who had occupied buildings at Columbia, including Hamilton Hall. Fifty-six years later to the day, pro-Palestinian activists took over the same building.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/columbia-unrest-echoes-chaotic-campus-protest-movement-1968-rcna149967
Not content allowing domestic terrorists take over the campus and vandalize he place, negotiating with terrorists is fully supported. This can only lead to more violence and demands.
Already there are 45 orgs planning to protest at the Chicago DNC convention in August. This convention will make the 1968 convention look like a little girls tea party.
I’m not convinced the numbers and commitment begin to measure up to 1968. Since journalists are thriving on sensationalistic alarmism, they’re interest in shocking images, but delving into quantitative analysis (how strong is the pro-Palestinran movement) could throw a wet blanket on the “zing” of the non-quantitative narrative. What we know is that ~2000 activists have defied the law with maximal national media attention. Those numbers are not impressive. This is a media-amplified phenomenon, with thin grass-roots commitment.
The youth anti-war movement of 1968 went on to move national opinion away from support for the war. It moved Pres. Nixon to campaign based on “peace with honor” (as opposed to decisive victory), a dramatic lowering of ambitions in Vietnam.
So far, these youth are not moving the public-opinion needle — their theatrics are politically ineffective.
Everything I say is right and true, but my words never sink-in or click with you demons, so I wash my hands of you. Go die in a nuclear war for all I care.
To say that World War 3 will have started when Macron sent French troops to Ukraine in direct conflict with Russians is like saying that Eisenhower started World War 2 when he sent American troops to Normandy in direct conflict with the Germans. It’s absurd and twisted. All of the blame for WW3 will rest on Putin, just as all the blame for WW2 rests on Hitler.
I’m not anti-cementic. Some of my favorite buildings are held together with cement.
I’m not going to tell you stop sinning. I want to see you destroyed for your sins. Go ahead. Sin away.
Don’t we all love a good left-wing comedy!

It’s a bit surprising to me that Northwestern’s Evanston Campus draws so much attention,
as it is usually such a quite place. The area itself is fairly quiet, of which was part of it’s attraction, and being on Lake Michigan, at least in the warm months (That being the late 80’s, things change). The Medill School of Journalism may have something to do with the Media aspects, at least the Dean could have offered some advice on how this Agreement would have gone over with the Public. But alas it seem that it was a haste decision and didn’t process through the channels of the Media and Law Schools. That said, Northwestern having all that know how at its disposal, this seem to be a sizable mistake.
The Downtown Campus would garner more attention for a Protest demonstrations, but maybe they are saving that for the fireworks of the Democratic Convention (August 19 to 22, 2024).
Won’t that be Fun! (Sarcasm)
That said, Northwestern having all that know how at its disposal, this seem to be a sizable mistake.
Maybe you never visit instapundit.
Since the day he started posting, he has been documenting the difference between, credentialed, and accomplished.
To assign intelligence and knowledge, with a degree, can be a fatal assumption. Take accomplishment over degrees ever time.
Well I’d need to know a little bit more about the “President’s Advisory Committee on Preventing Antisemitism and Hate” that NU President Michael Schill failed to seek advice from the committee regarding the agreement. Who are the members of the President’s Advisory Committee? before an assessment of ‘credentialed v. accomplished’ can be made. But I hear you (instapundit.com).
My time at NU was in the late 80s when Dr. Katz was the Dean of Medill School of Journalism. Media connections to the University were different becuase the Media Companies were different organizations in that period (Chicago Trib, WGN, …)
That said if the President Schill would have Board-roomed the Deans of the NU Campus (i.e.: Medill, Pritzker Law, Kellogg, …) a different animal (Agreement) would have been had, one more copacetic to the Mob. For now, Schill has stuck his foot in it, and must weather the storm.
A bigger question is: Is this (student movent) a manufactured “Counterinsurgency” to flush out the Campuses (Document Insurgents) before a bigger push to War on a Global Scale. The Shadow State does not want a replay of the Vietnam era Protest getting in the way of Their mission. (That’s even more worse than Trump). So if I were a Student – Avoid the “Cause” and stay out of the picture. (Squelching the Anti-War Movent).
Tuff time to be a Student, caught up in Politics of Someone else’s making.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterinsurgency
A Note: Both sides (Insurgents and State) know that they will converge on the DNC Convention (August 19 to 22, 2024) this Summer.
Insurgents from across the Country will flock to the streets of Chicago for a crescendo performance, much to the delight of the Media that has framed this into being a replay of 1968 Chicago DNC Riots. Big Brother will be Recording Live events (Much like J6th: Video/Facial Recognition/Cellular Traffic), as the Band Plays on…

Language as a weapon. What is “antisemitism?”
The term “antisemitism” has lost its definition and cannot be used with accuracy or clarity anymore.
We need to be specific when an action, or statement is anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, anti Zionist, anti-American, etc. we need to specify who or what entire demographic category is the target.
The goal is to weaken, confuse and eliminate terms they don’t want, that don’t serve the current agenda. Under the also obsolete, agenda soaked term of empathy, other terms like woman, democracy, hate, content moderation (censorship), and more everyday are being redefined and obliterated.
Clay Goldstein-read or reread 1984. That should make the change in terms clearer. You remove a piece of language and you can nearly remove the thought. Clearly a complex language and communication made our brains what they are today. Anti-semitism is still the same definition it always was. The newer terms are only there to obfuscate the truth of what antisemitism is and has always been. HATE. Blind, unreasoning hate.
