Combatting Anti-Semitism

The University of Pennsylvania is under fire for hosting a Palestinian literature festival next week.  I’m sure there are plenty of accomplished Palestinian authors.  The problem is that this isn’t a literary festival.  In fact, it is an anti-Israel hate fest dominated by anti-Semitic bigots. 

Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame will be there.  He’s compared Israel to Hitler’s Third Reich and recently wore a Nazi-style uniform during a performance in Berlin. 

Disgraced academic Marc Lamont Hill is another speaker.  CNN fired Hill after he called for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea.”  That’s a popular slogan among the jihadists of Hamas and Hezbollah who want to destroy Israel.

Local Jewish groups and alumni of the University of Pennsylvania have lobbied against the event, but the university refuses to cancel it.  I have an idea that might help. 

Joe Biden claims to be a friend of Israel.  There’s a center named after him (the Penn Biden Center) sponsored by the university.  Surley the university would accept a call from the president explaining why it is wrong to host anti-Semites who are attacking our most reliable ally in the Middle East. 

Hopefully, Biden could tear himself away from his latest effort to appease Iran just long enough to make this call!
