(Via LGF) New York Post Online Edition: commentary
LGF links to this story about third annual National Student Conference of the Palestine Solidarity Movement to be held at Rutgers. Just to be clear about what the goals of groups like the International Solidarity Movement and their offshoots are about:
[...]Organizer Charlotte Kates told me peaceful resistance is the fest's guiding principle. Yet she noted that she, as well as the sponsoring organization, the New Jersey Solidarity Movement - an offshoot of International Solidarity - supports Palestinian homicide bombers.
"Palestinian resistance in all its forms has been a very powerful tool of justice," said Kates, 23, a Rutgers law student. "All forms, from armed struggle to mass protest."
And does Israel have a right to exist?
"Israel is an apartheid, colonial settler state. I do not believe apartheid, colonial settler states have a right to exist." [...]
Thought you might be interested in the response I received from Rutgers about this.
