U of I Rabbi Dovid and Illini Chabad student center were falsely accused of promoting ethnic cleansing in Gaza last week. The centuries-old "blood libel" claims that Jews thirst for the blood of non-Jewish children. This Hamas propaganda is as hateful as it is unoriginal.

Despite a very strong record, Prof. Benji Bross at UIUC was denied tenure because he spoke out for Israel. The University should reverse its decision immediately. Check out the full story here: https://t.co/X3K1K4XBfE

The DC terrorist is a University of Illinois alum. We warned the administration a thousand times that faculty are radicalizing our students in our classrooms. Will they finally listen?

We agree with Congressman Torres. This is not scholarship, it's propaganda. It is reprehensible that student tuition and taxpayer dollars are supporting it. Here is our letter to UIUC Admin calling on them to denounce this event:

Just in case there is an interest in exploring a feminist approach to an imagined reproductive genocide in Gaza, there’s a taxpayer-funded course on it!

Courses like these degrade rather than elevate the mind, making a misnomer out of higher education.

Thank you, Congressman, for bringing attention to this anti-Jewish blood libel on our campus. We call on @UofIllinois Administration to condemn this talk publicly, just as they would for any other hate speech.

Banyan Abusneineh, a propagandist pretending to be a professor from Ohio State, is conducting a lecture series on “The Eugenicist Nature of Zionism.”

She accuses Israel—one of the most multiracial and multiethnic societies on earth—of engineering “an idealized, genetically pure population.” The equation of Zionism with eugenics is a modern manifestation of the medieval blood libel, which falsely accuses Jews of conspiring to murder non-Jews. A blood libel is designed to stoke hatred that hardens into violence against Jews.

We've launched a website to better document our efforts to fight Jew-hatred at the University of Illinois. Our content includes open letters we penned to the Administration:

Today, in the name of the 65 faculty members in our group, we sent this open letter to the U of I system Board of Trustees and Chancellors laying out an agenda for upholding academic freedom while fighting the alarming increase of antisemitism on campus.
