Tel-Chai Nation

Hugh Fitzgerald looks at the double-standards conducted by the university of Illinois:

An antisemitic letter, posted by the Latina/Latino Studies Department at the University of Illinois, accuses Israel of “genocide.” The funniest line, however, in this anti-Israel screed, was this: “we know a free Palestine is only possible through queer, racial, gender, reproductive, and environmental justice.”

The people who wrote this are apparently unaware that in Palestinian society, as in many Muslim Arab societies, there is no “queer justice.” Homosexuals are persecuted and murdered — shot, hung from cranes, pushed from rooftops. The only place in the Middle East where homosexuals are safe is Israel. As to “gender justice,” Muslim societies are misogynistic, with honor killings of females who are said to have “dishonored the family” (by everything from not wearing a hijab properly to having a Christian boyfriend). Muslim women are inferior to men in every way. Their testimonies are worth half those of men; daughters inherit half of what sons inherit. A Muslim man can take up to four wives but a woman is limited to one husband; finally, a Muslim husband can divorce a wife merely by reciting the triple talaq, while a wife seeking a divorce must go through an expensive court procedure.

As for “racial justice,” Arab societies remain deeply racist. A hadith (Ibn Musa al-Yahsubi, Qadi ‘Iyad, p.375) says that “if anyone calls Muhammad a black man, kill him.” Muhammad himself bought and sold slaves. The Arabs conducted the longest-lasting, and largest, of all the African slave trades, with tens of millions of victims, a trade that was only stopped by the British. Arabs continued to hold black slaves until well into the 20th century: Saudi Arabia finally outlawed slavery, under tremendous international pressure, in 1962; Oman and Yemen outlawed slavery only in 1970. Even today, hundreds of thousands of black slaves are held by Arab owners in the Sudan, Mali, Niger, and Mauritania. The Arabs feel keenly their superiority to blacks. Yet here are some faculty members sitting in Champaign, Illinois, who presume to tell us that Palestine “will be free” when there is “racial justice.” There won’t ever be “racial justice” in Muslim lands.

What's truly disgusting is the likelihood these universities and their leftist minions actually know this, and could otherwise be okay with all these atrocities. All that aside, why does anybody continue to finance institutions that're now rotten to the core? There's no use doing so anymore.
