SWC Demands Immediate Firing of Pro-Terrorist Lecturer who Targeted Jewish Students

The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) is calling onStanford University to denounce and fire one of its lecturers following an incident in which he made Jewish students stand in a corner while branding them “colonizers” – while also downplayingthe Holocaust and defending murderous Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters.”

The lecturer told the Jewish students to take their belongings, stand in a corner, and said, “This is what Israel does to thePalestinians.” He then asked, “How many people died in the Holocaust?” When a student answered, “Six million,” the lecturer said, “Colonizers killed more than 6 million. Israel is acolonizer.”

“Stanford? This so-called academic behaves like the Nazis and Stalinists did. It’s time for universityleaders to condemn the mass murderers of infants, entire families, rapists, and kidnappers. Act now before it’s too late,” stated Rabbi Abraham Cooper, SWC Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action.
