Over the past year, headlines in mainstream publications and the legacy media have finally validated what supporters of the Freedom Center have long known—American campuses are awash in a crisis of Jew hatred and Hamas fetishism. From Columbia to UCLA, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to the University of Texas-Austin, last spring the public witnessed the hostile takeover of campuses by supporters of the genocidal Hamas regime.
Shouting such genocidal slogans as “Globalize the Intifada” and “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Free” student protestors—aided by radical faculty members and coddled by university administrators—proudly established and defended zones that were effectively declared Judenrein—no-go zones for Zionists and supporters of the world’s only Jewish state.
Students belonging to Muslim Brotherhood-linked campus organizations including the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine celebrated Hamas’s barbaric October 7 massacre of innocent Israeli Jews and did not shy away from encouraging more bloodshed.
In every aspect of these macabre exhortations for Jewish genocide, these students were encouraged and led by university faculty members, in many cases highly celebrated tenured professors in the world of academia, who have gleefully championed the slaughter, mutilation, and rape of innocents as justified revenge on Israeli “colonizers.”
Determined to expose these Hamas apparatchiks, the Freedom Center published a lengthy and detailed report naming the ten most extreme pro-terror professors as “Hamas Loyalists” and documenting their statements and actions in support of the terrorist regime.
Cornell Professor Russell Rickford spoke at a pro-Hamas rally to extoll the virtues of the terrorist group. “Hamas has challenged the monopoly of violence,” Rickford said, adding that the Palestinians “were able to breathe for the first time in years” thanks to the bloody October 7th massacre.
“[I]t was exhilarating! It was exhilarating! It was energizing! And if they [Palestinians] weren’t exhilarated by this challenge to the monopoly of violence, by this shifting of the balance of power, then they would not be human. I was exhilarated!” Rickford concluded, expressing sheer joy at the extent of Hamas’s slaughter.
UC-Berkeley Professor and Students for Justice in Palestine co-founder Hatem Bazian lauded the massacre as a “transformation.” Speaking at a public rally on October 8, 2023, one day after Hamas militants murdered, raped, and mutilated over 1200 innocent Israeli Jews, Bazian was joyful.
“I wanted to contextualize what is taking place today in Palestine,” Bazian explained, stating “When the colonized take matters into their own hands…a new man is born” and jubilantly declaring “What is taking place today is a transformation.”
San Francisco State University professor Rabab Abdulhadi quote-tweeted Rep. Ilhan Omar—who has her own long record of anti-Semitism—not to agree with the Congresswoman’s remarks but to chastise her for condemning Hamas’s actions. Abdulhadi tweeted: “Seriously @IlhanMN? ‘Senseless’ #PalestineUnderAttack are merely defending themselves. Are you saying that #Palestinians should be exceptionalized from the right to defend themselves against colonial & racist violence? Check your facts! #FreePalestine #IsraeliCrimes.”
University of Wisconsin-Madison professor Samer Alatout tweeted his support for Hamas, writing, “Hamas fighters r precisely the kids & grandkids of those who were displaced from Palestine in 1948. They r the Palestinians if one comes to think of it.”
These are only a sampling of the professors targeted by the Freedom Center’s Fall Campus Campaign, which called on the universities who employ these Hamas loyalists to take immediate action to investigate and discipline those who have openly defied university policy to promote Jew hatred and to celebrate a bastion of terror.
The fall campaign also led to an ebook, “Teaching Terror on Campus,” before culminating in a cutting-edge social media campaign. Eye-catching graphics exposing each professor’s celebration of Hamas’s barbarism were placed directly into the Facebook and Instagram feeds of individuals with a connection to each campus, including students, alumni, and faculty. The campaign generated over 77,000 impressions and reached over 30,000 individuals associated with the universities.
Many alumni responded to the ads with horror and vowed to cease all donations to their alma maters. “Thank you for once again reminding me why I haven’t made an alumni contribution to Rutgers since 1980,” commented one alum of the university upon reading about Professor Noura Erakat’s support for Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
“The Jewish alumni, and frankly the Christian alumni as well, should stop ALL funding and support until the entire faculty is vetted and cleansed of anti-Semites,” another individual commented on the case of Professor Huda Fakhreddine at UPenn who celebrated that on October 7, “Palestine invented a new way of life.”
“That asshole is part of Texas Tech University??? I call for his immediate firing and arrest for inciting and defamation of Israel” one individual wrote of Jairo Fúnez-Flores, who on October 7 shared a post on social media declaring, “Reclaiming your right to life is not terrorism—It’s self-determination” and “Palestinians didn’t choose to take up arms, they were forced to do so by those who came and stole their land from them.”
Some individuals reached by the social media campaign had the opposite reaction, showing how much work and education remains to rid our campuses of their pro-terrorist sympathies. “Fuck Israel, and their continued Genocide,” wrote one commentator.
“On the contrary, Cal is honored and proud to have such a respected and renowned scholar and human rights activist as part of its faculty,” another individual commented on UC-Berkeley Professor Hatem Bazian, who co-founded the Hamas-funded hate group Students for Justice in Palestine.
These hostile reactions to the Freedom Center’s journalism and truth-telling from the pro-Hamas left prove that our campus campaign hit its mark.
