Reza Aslan on the Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

 Hat tip Newsthud.com

No sooner has Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, and the left is already promising more violence if President Trump and the Republicans in Congress try to fill the seat. One of the most obnoxious statements is coming from Muslim activist and UC Riverside professor Reza Aslan. Here is what he tweeted.

Really, Professor?

Of course, UC Riverside administrators will no doubt decline to take any action against Aslan citing his right to freedom of speech especially on his own personal, social media. I myself am not advocating he be arrested. However, given the actions recently taken against professors at places like Cornell and UCLA who merely criticize Black Lives Matter or refuse to give special test breaks to black students, UCR would be well advised to at least consider what statements like Aslan's do to their reputation as a university. This is a guy who has a history of threatening to punch people in the nose-not to mention eating human brains on TV. I myself have seen this arrogant twit speak twice in person, and take it from me, he is a strange duck indeed.

                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                    Aslan in happier times

No doubt there will be more threats of violence coming from academia and other quarters, more than I can keep up with. All it does is sully the memory of Ginsburg, by all accounts, a decent person to whom we should be paying proper respect  even if we disagreed with her judicial philosophy.

 

Anti-Jew Hatred Rally in Los Angeles September 7

Yesterday, I reported that a rally is planned September 7 in Los Angeles as a protest against Jew hatred. I have updated information, which I am cutting and pasting below. The event is supported by The Lawfare Project and is a response to recent incidents at the University of Southern California (USC).

The Lawfare Project is providing legal support to the new social justice movement #EndJewHatred. It is a civil rights movement dedicated to ensuring Jewish liberation and justice through peaceful direct action. The movement is organizing a protest to #EndJewHatred on campus, specifically the bigotry taking place at the University of Southern California (USC). The protest will take place on: Monday, September 7th from 3 PM – 5 PM PDT Location: The corner of S Fairfax Avenue & W 3rd Street in Los Angeles (The Grove) Protestors are demanding that Rick Caruso, Chair of the Board of Trustees at the University of Southern California, act now to #EndJewHatred at USC. He has supported other ethnic groups, and is now being asked to support the Jewish community. In recent months, many Jews across the United States have rallied to support racial justice causes. Jews have been at the forefront of campaigns for equality because we know how important it is to secure liberty and justice for all. But none of these campaigns has been a movement that seeks to end unjust discrimination against Jews. #EndJewHatred is that Jewish civil rights movement. Visit www.endjewhatred.com to discover more about their important work. Their mission is to eradicate Jew hatred from culture once and for all. Please spread the word about this important movement and the protest on Monday with your friends and colleagues. History has taught us that, if Jews do not stand up for ourselves, no one else will. We at The Lawfare Project appreciate your continued support. ×

The Lawfare Project is a global network of legal professionals that contribute their skills, time, and expertise to defending the civil and human rights of the Jewish people and pro-Israel community, and fighting discrimination wherever they see it.
