Princeton student called an "inbred swine" by Jew-hating protesters who told her to "go back to Europe"

A lecture by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett at Princeton University was disrupted this week by protests inside and outside the event, with Jewish students reporting anti-Semitic slurs and hostile rhetoric from demonstrators.

Danielle Shapiro, a senior at Princeton who attended, said the protest began almost immediately.
"The administrative failures began really even before this event started at 7:30," Shapiro told Fox News' Fox & Friends. 

"Entering this event with a former prime minister of Israel, you did not have to have your identity verified, you do not have your bag checked."

Shapiro said about 200 protesters gathered outside, banging drums, using megaphones, and shouting to deny Bennett’s free speech rights. 

The situation worsened when protesters inside stood up and shouted.

"About 20 minutes in, 25 Princeton students got up and started screaming at Naftali Bennett," Shapiro recalled, noting they used expletives against the official.

The event was stopped when someone pulled a fire alarm, a là Jamaal Bowman style, forcing an evacuation. 

Outside, attendees faced a large crowd of demonstrators. In an op-ed for The Free Press, Shapiro wrote that she was targeted with anti-Semitic slurs, including being told to "go back to Europe" and being called "inbred swine" by some protesters. [The irony that she was born in the USA and some who told her to go back to Europe were not, should not be lost on us.]

Shapiro and other Jewish students are now demanding action from Princeton, but don't hold your breath.

"We ask that [President Christopher Eisgruber] formally and publicly apologize to the former prime minister for this disgrace," she said, also requesting disciplinary action for those who disrupted the event.
She called for new policies to prevent future antisemitic incidents, such as banning face coverings at protests, a rule already in place at Columbia University after similar issues.

Shapiro also urged the suspension of Princeton’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, arguing the group has repeatedly violated university rules.

"That is a nasty group of students on-campus who have violated multiple university rules, and that alone is grounds for a club suspension," she said.

In a statement Tuesday, Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber said he was "appalled at reports of antisemitic language directed by demonstrators at members of our community." He promised an investigation and potential disciplinary measures, noting that at least one disruptor inside was not affiliated with the university.

The likelihood that the non-student will face consequences is as probable as Osama bin Laden's son having a bar mitzvah.

The incident follows the Trump administration’s recent decision to suspend millions in research funding for Princeton and other Ivy League schools due to concerns about campus antisemitism.

While Shapiro believes Princeton has managed protests better than some schools, she remains troubled.

"If you had told me what Princeton's environment was like two years ago today, I would have been shocked to my core," she said. "Saying it's relatively better than Columbia is not something that Princeton should be taking as a point of pride. It really is, it's very concerning still."

UPenn donors cutting ties with the university due to anti-Semitism

Rogers Waters and UPenn President Liz Magill

Donors are no longer donating, not even a donut, to the University of Pennsylvania after the university president Liz Magill made squishy statements about the Hamasshole terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens on October 7th.

Hedge fund executive David Magerman and investor Jonathan Jacobson, have made reference to Magill's response late last month to the Palestine Writes festival to which the school played host.

Magerman tweeted:

“I am deeply ashamed of my association with the University of Pennsylvania. I refuse to donate another dollar to Penn. There is no action anyone at Penn can take to change that.”

And Jacobson wrote:

“Enough. It is time to reverse this trend and restore our ‘elite’ universities to the principles upon which they were founded: as places of inquiry, where lively debate, diversity of opinion and communication across lines of difference is not only cherished, but actually mandated."

Jacobson pledged a single dollar for every year Magill remains employed by the school.

Magill suddenly became the purveyor of free speech saying the university "fiercely support[s] the free exchange of ideas as central to our educational mission."

Exceptions do exist, however, when she tried to set a precedent by yanking tenure away from one of its own professors for her politically incorrect statements.

No, Magill draped herself in the mantle of free expression as the school played host over the weekend to the Palestine Writes festival, which included a gaggle of anti-Semites. Among them was the former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, who has donned Nazi regalia and hung an inflatable pig adorned with a Jewish star from the rafters at his concerts.

Ironically, Waters worships pigs.

Magill said in her statement that "many have raised deep concerns" about the anti-Semitic views of some of the speakers, but failed to mention that she obviously shares them.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on campus in Philadelphia is such that, in the past week, the university Chabad's sukkah and Hillel buildings were vandalized, and a swastika was found at a university building.

Why is it that the university supports free speech by anti-Semites but not by controversial tenured professors who they tried to fire?

Christopher Eisgruber, president of Princeton University pledged to "stand up against racism, wherever and whenever we encounter it," but kept his mouth shut when members of his own faculty welcomed an anti-Semite to campus. 

It's a waste of time to make this argument to Jew-haters. There's really no convincing them how evil they are because they never see themselves as such. If they can support Hamas after what they did, well there is nothing anyone can say.

Is the USA slowly becoming Nazi Germany of World War Two?

Comment, please.
