More immigration and more social justice, please.

I don’t see anything bizarre here. These activists are pursuing their group interests, which clash with Jewish and white interests.

From Tabletmag: Today is the day of the Million Student March, a grassroots initiative by young activists that will call for tuition-free public college, student debt cancellation, and a $15 minimum wage for all campus workers. For many students, it’s an opportunity to protest for reforms they believe in. But for Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) in New York, it’s been a chance instead to blame “the Zionists” for everything wrong with the university system.

On Nov. 9, in a Facebook post signed by every CUNY chapter of SJP, the anti-Israel activists declared that they would join the march. Their statement began ordinarily enough, but soon took a bizarre, conspiratorial turn:

On November 12, students all across CUNY will rally to demand a freeze on tuition and new contracts! We must fight for funding for our university, and for CUNY to be accessible to working class communities in NYC as the public university system. The Zionist administration invests in Israeli companies, companies that support the Israeli occupation, hosts birthright programs and study abroad programs in occupied Palestine, and reproduces settler-colonial ideology throughout CUNY through Zionist content of education. While CUNY aims to produce the next generation of professional Zionists, SJP aims to change the university to fight for all peoples liberation.
