Pro-Israel group urges University of Chicago to condemn group calling for boycott of ‘sh–ty Zionist classes’

A pro-Israel organization is urging the University of Chicago to condemn a pro-Palestinian student group who is calling on students to boycott “sh–ty Zionist classes.”

StandWithUs, an education organization that combats antisemitism and supports Israel, sent a letter to the University of Chicago administration on Friday calling on it to condemn a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter that called for students to boycott “Sh–ty Zionist Classes” in an Instagram post made in late January.

The organization states in the letter that while the Students for Justice in Palestine Instagram post “does not rise to a level of impermissible speech,” they are “antithetical to a robust campus climate.”

“When SJP explicitly instructs students to boycott “Zionist” classes and professors, and then lists classes about Israel and that are taught by Israeli or Jewish professors, it appears as though they are encouraging their followers to boycott University of Chicago faculty members because of their Jewish or Israeli identities,” the letter states.

On Jan. 27, the University of Chicago Students for Justice in Palestine chapter published a post on Instagram, stating “Don’t Take Sh–ty Zionist Classes. Support the Palestine movement for liberation by boycotting classes on Israel or those taught by Israeli fellows.”

According to the group, students attending classes discussing Israel or that are taught by Israeli fellows are “participating in a propaganda campaign that creates complicity in the continuation of Israel’s occupation of Palestine.”

The pro-Israel group says that the letter is “dripping with antisemitic undertones,” and stated that Zionism is an important part of the Jewish identity for most Jews across the world.

StandWithUs compared the post to a theoretical instance where a KKK student group called for a boycott of classes about Black communities and are taught by Black faculty, stating that it would be protected speech, but the university should still condemn it.

EDUCATION DEPT. LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION INTO ANTI-SEMITISM AT BROOKLYN COLLEGE

The University of Chicago is a private research university in Chicago, IL. It holds top-ten position in numerous national and international rankings and measures.

“However, it would also be hateful and warrant moral clarity by your administration in a statement of condemnation. This same principle—and need—apply here,” the letter states.

The letter also criticizes the statement that a University of Chicago spokesperson previously provided to Fox News Digital, which said that the university has a “steadfast opposition to discrimination, including rejection of antisemitism, anti-Palestinian bias, and other forms of bias that are incompatible with our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”

StandWithUs noted that the inclusion of “anti-Palestinian bias” is “simply bizarre,” and said that the university has an opportunity to set an example and show that “SJP does not reflect the values of your campus.”

Roz Rothstein, the chief executive officer for StandWithUs told Fox News Digital that the University of Chicago has a responsibility to condemn the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, and the same applies if any other minority group was targeted.

“Its inability to condemn the antisemitism present here without simultaneously including in its statement other forms of discrimination not currently at issue, only serves to further marginalize the Jewish members of the school’s community. The administration has a crucial opportunity to show moral leadership and communicate to its Jewish students, staff and faculty that they are equally valued members on this campus because antisemitism and discrimination like this will not be tolerated,” Rothstein said.

The University of Chicago did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

Hamas says Israel deployed ‘killer Zionist dolphins’ near Gaza

Hamas suspects Israeli dolphins are up to something fishy.

The militant Islamist group claimed in a video posted by its military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, to have captured a heavily armed Israeli dolphin off the coast of Gaza, according to i24 News.

“Killer Zionist dolphins exist, according to a Hamas publication,” tweeted Joe Truzman, a researcher for Long War Journal and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank.

“Abu Hamza explains that a member of Hamas’ Frogman unit who was killed by Israel during the May conflict found the killer dolphin. The device the alleged killer dolphin was wearing is shown in the publication,” he added.

Naval analyst and author HI Sutton wrote that the video posted to Twitter shows a harness that the militant group alleges was recovered. The harness appears to fit the nose of a dolphin.

He said the harness “is similar to those used in US Navy and Russian Navy marine mammal programs. The harness appears to have a spear gun-like device attached.”

Sutton noted that even though the alleged incident could not be confirmed, “it is at least plausible that Israel may have a Navy marine mammal program.”

The Flipper flap is not the first time Israel has been accused by its neighbors of using animals for military purposes, i24 News reported.

In 2013, Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV station accused the Jewish state of using a spy bird that was captured in Lebanon, according to the report.

This is the device that Hamas claimed the “Zionist dolphin” was wearing.

“Though dolphins have been used by various militaries … this report likely falls into what is a surprisingly fertile genre of conspiracy theories: the notion that Israeli intelligence routinely uses all manner of birds and other animals as tools of espionage,” Elias Groll wrote in a 2015 Foreign Policy piece.

The Hamas claim made waves in social media, where users poked fun at the notion of killer dolphins, noting that the mammals are known for being docile.

“In other news, the supposedly much vaunted Hamas heroes are scared by a few cute dolphins!” international human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky said in a tweet.

According to a naval analyst, the device is “similar to those used in US Navy and Russian Navy marine mammal programs.”

“Good morning agent, please report for duty!” he said in another post, which included a photo of a cute dolphin.

Another user, Sia Kordestani, posted an image of an airborne dolphin wearing an Israeli navy cap firing a laser gun at the enemy.

“WOW. Hamas releases photo of the moment its Izzedine al-Qassam Beach Patrol commander was martyred by a secret Israeli spy dolphin!” he quipped.
