On Wednesday evening, the Emory University Chapter of the College Republicans hosted acclaimed author and activist David Horowitz for a lecture on radical Islam as part of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. From the beginning of Horowitz’s speech, rowdy protesters continually interrupted him and less than half an hour into the event, the crowd became so disruptive that police were called in and Horowitz had to be escorted off stage.

The event was part of the Terrorism Awareness Project, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center dedicated to waking up American college students to the threat of militant Islam. As soon as Horowitz was introduced, protesters began their efforts with loud boos and chants of “Heil Hitler.” Despite the people who stood with their backs to Horowitz and the shouting of obscenities and other remarks from audience members, Horowitz attempted to deliver his speech that covered academic freedom and radical Islam. Considering the actions of the audience and the problem of universities only giving students half the story, Horowitz asked the audience, “How can you learn if you can’t see the arguments?” This event was a perfect example of the left’s intolerance to other …

This is a fascinating account of something probably most of us don’t remember very clearly. If you are middle aged now, you were a child or a teenager in 1970, and you probably remember there were many hijackings in those days, and maybe something about Palestinians and Jordan and fighting in the Mideast, but chances are you don’t remember the circumstances and details…maybe you don’t remember the events at all. And if you are American and haven’t reached middle age, you would only know about the events surrounding Black September if you had a really good history class. But they were very important events whose effects are still felt today. Here is the riveting account of someone who knew first hand what happened, and has never forgotten.

On September 6, 1970, terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijacked TWA flight 741 from Frankfurt to New York and Swiss Air flight 100 from Zurich to New York, diverting them both to a disused airfield in the Jordanian desert. Terrorists also hijacked Pan Am flight 93 from Amsterdam and diverted it to Beirut and then Cairo. El Al officials thwarted another …

In the upcoming Annapolis conference, no doubt the subject of refugees will come up. The PA, Hamas and the Arab nations demand that all the descendents of Arabs who left Israel when Arab nations attacked Israel in 1948 be allowed to return with full rights and compensation.

But there is another large group of refugees to be considered by anyone interested in justice, and that is the 850,000 Jews, Christians and other minorities who fled or were driven out of Middle Eastern and North African nations because the Islamic nations persecuted their minority, especially Jewish, citizens during the Arab-Israeli wars.

House Resolution 185 IH intends to declare that the issue of the injustice done and the losses sustained by Jewish refugees from Islamic nations must be considered equally with the demands for settlement and reparation of Arab refugees from Israel.

Why are we telling you about this?
HRES 185 IH has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Contact your US Representative and urge them to support this bill and bring it to a full house vote in time for the Annapolis conference. You can bring a little more justice to the “Peace Process” by lobbying for this resolution.

By Lynn Provencio (UNMIA and Israel Coalition): Tuesday evening, a small group from the Israel Coalition (a local community based Israel Advocacy group) went to the “Israel Lobby” discussion held at the Peace and Justice Center by Justice First, a local Palestinian Advocacy group. The discussion went very well, and it appeared that everyone was both pleased and a little surprised at what a good discussion it turned out to be.

The Zionists were nervous at first, not having walked into the heart of local anti-Zionist action before. Some had been to an event or two before, and had a better idea of what to expect, but none were quite prepared for the open discussion and friendliness that they found. Likely some of the Justice First attendees were equally surprised to find that Zionists were in their midst and were normal people.

The opening film, which discussed the controversy surrounding Mearsheimer and Waltz’ book “The Israel Lobby”, was made in the Netherlands and was in Dutch, with English subtitles. However, the film’s producers conducted interviews in English with the books’ authors (with no Dutch subtitles), with a Jewish anti-Zionist, a Jewish neo-Zionist, an anti-war military analyst who felt Israel was a strategic …
