“Boston University has been considering hiring an anti-Israel postdoctoral associate as a professor,” Sarah Ihmoud.
Ihmoud isn’t just anti-Israel, she is an antisemitic propagandist “who portrays Jews as rapists, Jewish leaders and academics as promoting rape … and more.” It is dangerous to allow her to be teaching students.
It is no secret that campuses across the U.S. are saturated with Islamic supremacist antisemities and student groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. The last thing Boston University needs is another Islamic supremacist antisemite. Let’s hope that enough people complain to stop the hiring of this wretched propagandist. No university would tolerate the same hateful propaganda toward Muslims or any other visible minority group (and of course they shouldn’t).
“Boston University Considering Hiring Professor Who Accuses Israel of ‘Rape,’ ‘Systematic Massacres,’” by Jackson Richman, JNS, November 8, 2019:
JNS.org – Boston University has been considering hiring an anti-Israel postdoctoral associate as a professor, reported Americans for Peace and Tolerance.
While the school has yet to hire Sarah Ihmoud, the offer is “imminent,” according to APT.
Ihmoud presented her paper, “Sexual Violence, Women’s Bodies, and Israeli Settler Colonialism,” to the university. In it, she alleges that the “rape and killing of Palestinian women was a central aspect of Israeli troops’ systematic massacres and evictions during the destruction of Palestinian villages in 1948.”
She also wrote, “Israeli officials’ repressive policies and incitement against the Palestinian people work to empower and embolden Israeli settler society to embody the power of the state and viciously attack Palestinians. This is clearly exhibited in the attacks on Palestinian women’s bodies inside Al-Aqsa mosque these last weeks in Jerusalem, by both settler publics empowered by the state’s military protection, and members of the state security forces.”
APT stated that “the claims made are false,” and that “the paper, like all of Ihmoud’s writings, is not simply anti-Israeli, it is blatantly antisemitic and unsupported by any facts and does not merit ‘academic scholarship’ status.”
It continued, “Boston University should not hire a person who portrays Jews as rapists, Jewish leaders and academics as promoting rape … and more. This hateful propaganda, posing as scholarship, is no different from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the crudest German junk science proving that Jews are genetically inferior to Aryans.”
Boston University President Robert Brown could not respond to a request for comment, as the university is in the midst of hiring-consideration reviews.
“The fact that Ms. Ihmoud has presented this work as academic scholarship and is now being considered for a faculty position at a university as esteemed and reputable as Boston University is extremely troubling,” The Lawfare Project wrote in a letter sent last week to Boston University. “Ms. Ihmoud portrays Jews as rapists, Jewish leaders and academics as promoting rape, and Jewish women as having orgasms while thinking about Jewish men raping Palestinian women.”….

It won’t be surprising if she is hired. Her views are shared by many.
Haroldp says
Being an antisemite seems to be a prerequite for an appointment to a professorship at an American university.

Time to end the Federal Student Loan program, which doles out over 170 billion taxpayer dollars every year to students who major in anything, regardless of the ROI or content. That program has contributed to sky-high tuitions due to inflated demand, corrupted faculties who are well paid to teach any nonsensical drivel, and to over 1.6 trillion in ruinous student debt for Starbucks trainees. Let the private sector loan the money, then more attention would be paid to value, and less to majors like gender studies, and practical vocational education would get a big boost.
If a private university wants to teach eugenics and women’s liberation through Sharia, then fine, but don’t make me pay for it.

AMEN

“academic scholarship”:muslims are not great at that.
I mean,they cannot even figure out their OWN ‘holy’ koran
“Will they not then ponder on the quran?If it had been from other than allah they would have found much incongruity therein?”
Koran 4:82
This is allah’s criterion:if ANY errors or incongruities are found in the koran then that would imply allah is IMPERFECT and thus the koran would have to come from “other than allah”
laughably,allah’s “perfect” koran has “much incongruity therein”,showing in its IMPERFECTIONS that it cannot come from God{who must be perfect,right?}
Incongruities therein..apart from the well known SCIENTIFIC MISTAKES..
1 On the matter of intercession
k4:85 allah permits intercession
k74:48 muhammed prohibits intercession
allah disagrees with muhammed,the koran contradicts itself
2 The essential role of the Jews is denied and is replaced by the Arabs
The koran CURSES Jews k2:65 etc {but of course Moses and Jesus were Jewish}
3 k5:51 “take not the Jews and christians for friends” :allah MISSED the 2nd chief commandment didn’t he?also the First..and those essential EXODUS 2O{ten} laws.
4″We shall make thee read o muhammed so that thou shalt not forget”
koran 87 v 6
Did allah forget that muhammed could “neither read nor write” k7:157
5 “lo! this koran is a conclusive word” koran 86 v 13
And yet allah tells us “Above it are nineteen” koran 74:30
Nineteen WHAT?Isn’t that an IN-conclusive,open statement?
How can the koran be a conclusive word when it has inconclusive statements that NOBODY understands?
6 “And WE bestowed on {Jesus} the Gospel” Koran 5 v 46
Jesus never had the Gospel nor was responsible for it;it came AFTER Jesus and yet alalh says he gave it to Jesus:Guess where?koran 19 :30..whilst a baby in a crib
{“lo! I am the slave of allah he hath given me a scripture and appointed me a prophet” said the INFANT.The dawa folk insist k19:30 is Jesus…but it isn’t an adult.it is a baby}
7 “And theJews say ‘Ezra is the son of allah” k9:30
No, Jews don’t believe in any ‘Ezra son of allah”
8 “Abraham was not a Jew” k3:67
That makes no sense does it?he was certainly NOT a muslim!
Look at all these incongruities and these are just a handful;so much “incongruity therein” in the koran
Either the Arab writers of the koran missed these errors or were overconfident.
Or else al lah[“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54} is having a little luciferian joke.

Greetings:
These days my only surprise is that it isn’t Boston College doing the hiring.
RichardL says
BU is one of the top universities. Why would they want to hire an academic who has 0 papers in journals? The answer is clear: they share her views.
James says
I would guess that a lot of Jewish students go to BU, and this is a slap at them and their parents. Of course if she is in a …studies program then this would be considered outstanding scholarship. Let’s say “Zionist studies” or “Palestinian studies” or “Intersectional muslim studies program”.

The pro-Islam, anti-Israel college professors seem to be getting worse:

And yes I know this author personally. One of my professors at USJ 🙁
Angemon says
I remember, years ago, a study dedicated to prove the mass rapes of “Palestinian” women by Israeli soldiers ended up concluding that didn’t happen The author’s conclusion? Israeli troops considered “Palestinian” women as non-human and thus unworthy of being raped.
Hoppla says
Not to long ago some people in Europe considered “Jews” non-human.
gravenimage says
Yes–I remember that insane calumny as well, Angemon.
Giacomo Latta says
Being neither Jewish nor muslim permit me to offer a neutral opinion. I have never met a Jew nor an Israeli so desperate for company that he would so much as touch a palestinian with a 10-foot pole.
Hoppla says
It’s called racism.
Giacomo Latta says
Where I come from Judaism is a religion, not a race.
Giacomo Latta says
P.S. To Ihmoud, you must be thinking of muslims, dearie.
