I don&#8217;t want to leave you depressed. I want to give you the good news now. With the help of Allah they will erase this filth called Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anti-Semitism has increasingly become a problem for the CUNY system. More than 100 professors resigned from CUNY&#8217;s Professional Staff Congress, the university&#8217;s branch of the American Federation of Teachers, after the union passed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psc-cuny.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Final_Resolution_in_Support_of_the_Palestinian_People.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resolution<\/a> that referred to Israel as an &#8220;apartheid&#8221; state, the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/cuny-professors-leave-union-in-droves-following-anti-israel-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. The union also backed the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement and said it condemns the &#8220;massacre of Palestinians by the Israeli state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several Jewish professors who left the union told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> they&#8217;ve been attacked and targeted for their faith while at CUNY. University administrators have failed to respond to any of the incidents, the professors said, disregarding a federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report from February confirming that the university has created a hostile environment for Jews.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not surprising that CUNY hired Abbasi, Kingsborough Community College adjunct business professor Michael Goldstein told the <em>Free Beacon. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why should we not at all be surprised that CUNY would be employing a vile, Jew-hating antisemite like this individual?&#8221; Goldstein asked. He said former CUNY chancellor Joseph Murphy, whose mother was Jewish, &#8220;has to be rolling over in his grave.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.) released a statement Wednesday calling on CUNY to fire Abbasi over the speech.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At a time when antisemitic violence is on the rise throughout the United States, no one, especially someone charged with educating young adults, should be further fanning the flames of anti-Semitism like this and endorsing violence against Israel,&#8221; Zeldin said. &#8220;As we saw last month, the CUNY faculty has an antisemitism problem, and this is just another example.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CUNY administrators could not be reached for comment in time for publication.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus The city university system has been dogged with allegations of anti-Semitism  Mohammad Abbasi \/ YouTube screenshot  Alex Nester \u2022 July 29, 2021 5:40 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-606264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
