Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

NYC Israeli envoy: Campaign to “silence pro-Israel voices” on campus

Jun 20, 2017 6:11 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

New York Israel’s Consul General, Dani Dayan, rightly declared that the “real war” is the “intimidation, disruption and attempted silencing of pro-Israel voices on U.S. college campuses.”

Dayan is correct, but the “real war” also extends far beyond the campuses, as he also acknowledges:

I think it is a problem that American society has to deal with not only in respect to Israel…it is the same phenomenon that we see on campuses by extreme elements that are also anti-Israeli but not only anti-Israeli. In some cases they are even anti-American. And we as Israel, we have to be relentless.

The broader problem is jointly one of jihadists (stealth and violent) advancing their goal of the subjugation of infidels, and seeking to delegitimize Israel with the goal of obliterating the Jewish state. The latter initiative has made its way onto campuses, which have become battlegrounds of stealth jihadist warfare. Jihadi lobbyists win support by stealthy using propaganda, while shutting down any opposition to their cause, and they ally themselves with leftist ideologues to do it.

Danny Danon, Israel’s permanent representative to the United Nations, wrote in the New York Post about curbing domestic jihadi terror:

cutting off funding to terrorists, apprehending the heads of the organizations instead of lowly foot soldiers and stopping hateful incitement breeding another generation of terrorists.

Unfortunately, this effective advice for violent jihadists also highlights how difficult it is to put into practice an effective strategy in a stealth war of propaganda.

A good start was tabled by Ted Cruz, who introduced a bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Such a bill would cut to the core of the stealth jihad and cripple the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S., which has outlined its entire plan to conquer the West through manipulative infiltration via a fifth column. This initiative includes the Brotherhood’s campus affiliates, the Muslim Students Associations, which were implicated in the Holy Land Foundation Trial as having ties to Hamas.

“EXCLUSIVE: Watch – Israeli Envoy Dani Dayan: Campaign to Silence Pro-Israel Voices On U.S. Campuses A ‘Real War’”, by Aaron Klein, Breitbart, June 19, 2017:

NEW YORK — Addressing the phenomenon of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting the Jewish state, Dani Dayan, Israel’s Consul General in New York, declared that the “real war” is the intimidation, disruption and attempted silencing of pro-Israel voices on U.S. college campuses.

“There we have a real war,” Dayan said, referring to attempts to shut down freedom of expression for Israel defenders on American campuses. “And we have to be much more aggressive, much more assertive. … But it is not only an Israeli problem, what is happening on many campuses across America. I think it is first and foremost an American problem.”

Dayan was speaking to this reporter during an onstage interview at the JBiz Expo, an annual business networking and pro-Israel event hosted by the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce.

Last month, Dayan himself was repeatedly heckled and disrupted during a speech at the City College of New York. There, students from the CCNY chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine and other anti-Israel groups protested and temporarily disrupted the event.

At the Jbiz Expo interview, Dayan vowed to return to CCNY. “We should not give any ground to our enemies,” he stated. “On the contrary, I will make a point of coming to the same place again next year and the next semester. And we must persevere.”

Regarding the anti-Israel actions on U.S. campuses, Dayan surmised, “In some senses, I think we are in the same boat, as we say sometimes in Israel, with other movements that their freedom of speech is obstructed on many campuses.”

He continued: “It happens on the West Coast. It happens on the East Coast. I think as a foreign representative I have to be very careful but I think it is a problem that American society has to deal with not only in respect to Israel.”

“In some senses, it is the same phenomenon that we see on campuses by extreme elements that are also anti-Israeli but not only anti-Israeli. In some cases they are even anti-American. And we as Israel, we have to be relentless. We cannot give up.”…

      That is correct. Never forget they are jews by name only and have nothing to do with Judaism. They will kill there own people for their stupid leftist ideology. I am a jew and hate every last one of them. They were the same people that didn’t understand the danger they were in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Worked out well for us didn’t it !

    ……………………..

    Yes–this has been going on for some time, and is just getting worse. Good for him for speaking out.

    Even amongst those ‘progressively minded’, who don’t have any particular enmity towards Israel. the trend has been to see the State of Israel as expendable. It is easier to placate the hundreds of millions of those foaming at the mouth, wanting Israel to disappear, than to get too interested in the details of difficulties of a nation of six or so million citizens. A generation ago there was much more interest in Israel’s achievements in nation building; the David and Goliath struggle that resulted in the country securing its borders and cultural existence. The anti colonial propaganda of the former Soviet Union placed Israel in bed with ‘the enemy oppressors’ and Israel has been in decline as a country of interest ever since. Israel has a crucial civilisational role in the Middle East in the years ahead, but how this can be shaped and nurtured into being is anyone’s guess.
