Всё-тaки aмерикaнские евреи - существa сoвершеннo oсoбенные...

Hillel International has given its stamp of approval to a Harvard event that included a speaker who supports the movement to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel — arguing that, in this case, the Jewish campus group’s own ban on such events doesn’t apply.

Harvard University’s Hillel center for Jewish students co-sponsored last night’s panel discussion on the Mississippi Freedom Summer, the movement in which many Jewish volunteers joined with others to support blacks in their fight for civil rights.

The event, entitled “From Selma to Ferguson,” featured Dorothy Zellner, a Jewish civil rights veteran who is also a well-known pro-Palestinian BDS activist.

“An important conversation on faith and civil rights was coming together at Harvard, and we decided that Harvard Hillel could not be absent from the conversation,” explained Rabbi Jonah Steinberg, director of the Harvard Hillel.

Zellner wasted little time underlining her support for the Palestinian cause, which she portrayed as a direct result of her Jewish commitment to social justice.

“I am a supporter of BDS. I’m doing the work that I learned from black people and I will keep on doing that work,” she told the crowd of about 50 people, most of them students.
.....
Both Steinberg and David Eden, chief administrative officer for Hillel International, emphatically denied that their endorsement of the event contradicts Hillel International’s policy, which has been the subject of nationwide dispute and has spurred several Hillel chapters to publicly break from the parent organization.

Eden suggested that there was no conflict because the panel was not primarily focused on Israel, even though the guidelines make no such distinction.

A plan that would dedicate two public high schools in suburban Washington to immigrants and students struggling with English is pitting black and Hispanic communities -– usually allies -- against one another.

The Prince George’s County, Md., chapter of the NAACP is strongly opposing the plan -- which would take effect next school year, and cover about 800 students having English language difficulties -- claiming it will pull resources from other students and unfairly redistribute them to Hispanic students. Some critics go so far as to compare the plan to segregation.
....
Latino advocacy group CASA de Maryland sees it differently. The group, which has pushed for the schools, argues that it’s not a violation of the Constitution because the schools are not mandatory and are being built to provide options to immigrants.
....
Kevin Maxwell, CEO of Prince George’s County Public Schools which are moving ahead with the school plans later this year, agrees.

Из пoстсoветскoгo прoстрaнствa, неприятнoе

Jews in the Baltics fear a series of disturbing events in the three-nation region of Eastern Europe may be signaling a revival of the Holocaust-era hatred that once nearly wiped out their numbers.

Across the countries of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, Jewish leaders say their communities are feeling increasingly uncomfortable as anti-Semitism once again appears to be on the rise. An Estonian museum exhibition mocking the Holocaust, a stage musical celebrating the life of a notorious Latvian Nazi mass murderer and the repatriation of the remains of a Lithuanian leader  long linked to Nazis have all contributed to a climate of hate that has Jews on edge.

“We have to say that the support of Hitler and rewriting history to turn Hitler into a liberator of this area is not a western value,” Yiddish scholar Dovid Katz, founder of the DefendingHistory.com website, told FoxNews.com. “If you’re repatriating Nazi war criminals to be re-buried and honored as part of national history, that is not behavior compatible with western ethics and values.”

Efraim Zuroff, chief Nazi hunter of the Simon Weisenthal Centre in Jerusalem, has been monitoring a series of “Nuremberg-esque” marches in the Baltics in recent weeks and has been dismayed by the fact that no western media have shown up to report on the worrying trend.

“The European Union… does not appear to be particularly perturbed by genuinely disturbing phenomena in the Baltic countries and elsewhere, which, of course, in no way would justify Russian aggression, but deserve to be handled seriously and promptly before they get out of hand,” Zuroff wrote in the International Business Times.
