Anti-Israel National Union Has Taken Hold at College Campuses, UChicago Lawsuit Reveals

Legal Insurrection  Jewish graduate students must either support union antisemitism or forfeit their careers.

"And it doesn’t help that the university continues to signal weakness in the face of the protesters’ violence and aggression. There were reportedly no arrests after police dismantled the encampments. And the school just dropped the disciplinary charges against students involved in last year’s protests, caving on its threat to withhold their diplomas."

"When the anti-Israel campus protests broke out last year, they had the support of an ally whose role until recently has been largely overlooked: graduate student unions. These unions are a growing presence at both public and private universities. And now, they’re defendants in a University of Chicago lawsuit brought by the outraged students who are forced to fund them, whether they agree with their antisemitic rhetoric or not.

"Academic unions aren’t like traditional trade groups pushing for higher wages, shorter hours, and better working conditions. They’re a new breed—an affiliation of graduate student unions with a “parent,” frequently the national United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), a radical group known for its anti-Israel activism.

"At Legal Insurrection, we’ve been keeping tabs on UE since it first endorsed a “boycott, divest, and sanction” (BDS) campaign against Israel in 2015. More recently, when Cornell graduate students voted to federate under UE, Prof. Jacobson warned that the new alliance meant trouble: “On a campus wracked with anti-Israel activism and antisemitic invective, the connection to an anti-Israel national union raises concerns of a renewed BDS effort,” he wrote. In fact, UE has repeatedly called for the “union at all levels to become engaged in BDS.”

"Graduate students weren’t always unionized, of course, and it’s not obvious how they fit into the “labor” mold. True, they work as research assistants and teaching assistants, but that work is incidental to their academic pursuit.

"How did these doctoral candidates become UE labor union brothers?". . .


This only became a problem when residents of Gaza chose to kill and destroy Israelis and their villages, not only on Oct 7, but also with years of sending explosive rockets to kill Israelis who had not bothered the Arabs. Now Muslim activists appear on Western campuses, 
spawning riots and property destruction, teaching impressionable youths, wearing designer scarves to chant "Death to....!"

Lives shattered by Oct. 7 attack, some survivors return to Kibbutz Be’eri "A month after Hamas wrought some of its worst destruction at Kibbutz Be’eri, what was once a peaceful agricultural commune is now a makeshift military base. Special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen visits the community where Hamas terrorists kidnapped dozens of Israelis and slaughtered more than a hundred others and talks to survivors who have returned."

When Gazans encounter Israeli children:  Video out of Israel shows room full of children massacred by Hamas  Hamas Gaza militant terrorists are roaming the streets and massacring people at random -men, women, and children ON SIGHT. They are also kidnapping/killing Israeli civilian thanks to Joe Biden’s $6 billion to Iran, not to mention restoration of the hundreds of million of US taxpayer dollars to the Palestinians that Donald Trump had cut off when he was in office."  Below is a copy of the above video for when it gets taken down by Leftist terrorist supporters.
