A Biden-Harris Presidency Means Danger for Jews and American Jewish Students

A Biden-Harris presidency will be extremely dangerous for American Jews – including Jewish college students, the pro-Israel community, and Israel.

A Biden-Harris presidency means returning to the years when the Obama-Biden administration failed to enforce the civil rights of Jewish students on college campuses to a safe and harassment-free learning environment.

Based on her past record, Kamala Harris will be just as bad as the Obama-Biden administration was, when it comes to helping our college students who are discriminated against, maligned and attacked on college campuses. When she served as California’s Attorney General, Kamala Harris failed to act against dangerous anti-Semitic activities on California public university campuses, despite numerous letters from two dozen Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, including Amcha, AEPi fraternity, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the Iranian American Jewish Federation, CUFI, and more, urging Harris to act. (See, “Jewish And Pro-Israel Community To Ca Attorney General Kamala Harris: ‘We’re Troubled You Are Unwilling To Respond To Our Serious Concerns’.”)

For instance, when a California public university professor illegally used the publicly funded California state university web to set up a “Boycott Israel Resources Page,” California Attorney General Kamala Harris did nothing.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris also oppose perfectly lawful, Constitutional anti-BDS laws and efforts to stop anti-Semitic and anti-Israel boycotts. Indeed, Kamala Harris voted against the “Combatting Anti-BDS Act.”  And in a written statement to eMgage, the Muslim organization that sponsors the “Million Muslim Votes Summit,” Biden condemned Israel’s efforts to enforce her own anti-BDS laws. Biden wrote: “I do not support efforts by any democracy to criminalize free speech and expression. That is why I spoke out against Israel’s decision to deny entry to American lawmakers because they spoke out in favor of boycotting Israel.”

Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, boycotts against Jews and Israel will become far worse, and the government won’t help.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are also defending and working with some of America’s worst anti-Semites. When Ilhan Omar espoused vile anti-Semitic hatred, Kamala Harris defended and expressed concern for Omar’s safety – and not for the safety of American and Israeli Jews impacted by Ilhan Omar’s hateful attacks.

After a Biden staffer disagreed with Linda Sarsour’s anti-Semitic remarks, three top Biden staffers profusely apologized to anti-Semite, Israel-basher and terrorism-supporter Linda Sarsour. Biden adviser Symone Sanders stressed that the Biden campaign did not equate criticism of Israel to antisemitism, and recognizes a “constitutional right to free speech on issues like BDS.”

Harris also met with and wrongly praised the family led by James Blake, Sr. as an “incredible family” and urged Blake Sr. and his family “to continue to use their voice to end racism,” - even though Blake, Sr. is in fact an anti-White, pro-Farrakhan, woman-hating, virulently anti-Semitic and anti-Christian racist.

This summer, Joe Biden appeared the “Million Muslim Votes Summit” together with the heads of Hamas-linked CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations), Hezbollah linked MPAC (the Muslim Public Affairs Committee), and notorious anti-Semites Ilhan Omar and Linda Sarsour (who says that throwing rocks at Jewish Israelis is “the definition of courage).

During the Million Muslim Votes Summit, and in his additional written statement to its sponsor, eMgage, Biden promised to bring Muslims into “decision-making” positions in his administration. Biden was not speaking about Muslim reformers; he was speaking to and about Islamic radicals.

Biden also promised in the same written statement and elsewhere to undo virtually every pro-Israel, pro-Jewish policy of the Trump administration. Biden has promised to rejoin the disastrous Iran deal and eliminate many of the sanctions on Iran; reopen the illegal PLO Mission in Washington DC; rejoin the UN Human Rights Council which spends all its time plotting and passing resolutions against Israel; and send money to UNRWA – which teaches Palestinian Arabs to hate Israel and stores weapons for Hamas.

Egregiously Biden also promised to resume sending U.S. tax dollars to the Palestinian Authority. U.S. funding enables the Palestinian Authority to spend $350 million per year paying and rewarding terrorists to murder Jews and Americans.  (President Trump stopped funding the Palestinian Authority.)

Stuart Force, the father of Taylor Force, an American who was murdered by a Palestinian Arab who will now receive a pension from the Palestinian Authority as a reward for murdering Taylor, pleaded with Joe Biden: “Don’t resume funding the terrorist Palestinian regime.”  Biden has ignored this bereft father’s pleas.

We should all listen to Stuart Force’s pleas, and not vote for Joe Biden.
