Linda Sarsour is a Hamas-loving Jew-hater whose BFF is recently-deported Rasmea Odeh, who was convicted of a 1969 bombing attack in a Jerusalem supermarket that killed two university students.
A new low for NYC “progressive” university The New School.
Here is their mission statement, if you want a good laugh.
The New School in NYC is the only university where a world-renowned design school comes together with premier undergraduate and graduate programs and colleges to seek out ways to create a more just, beautiful and better-designed world.

Founded in 1919 by progressive New York intellectuals, The New School rose to prominence two decades later, when it took in a small band of Jewish intellectuals fleeing the Nazis. Eminences like Hannah Arednt, Leo Strauss, and Erich Fromm all benefited from the institution’s commitment to taking in the victims of the world’s most ancient and persistent hatred and giving them a place to pursue their ideas in peace.
How things change: Later this month, the university will co-sponsor a panel on anti-Semitism that will feature, among others, Linda Sarsour, who opined that “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and believes one cannot support the right of Jews to a homeland of their own and still be a feminist. Alongside Sarsour will be Rebecca Vilkomerson, who heads the odious Jewish Voice for Peace. The group, as an ADL report aptly put it, “uses its Jewish identity to shield the anti-Israel movement from allegations of anti-Semitism and to provide the movement with a veneer of legitimacy.” Among JVP’s recent achievements are the enthusiastic support of Rasmea Odeh, a Palestinian terrorist convicted of a bombing attack on a Jerusalem supermarket that left two young students dead and who was recently deported from the United States after lying about the incident on her immigration forms.

Ralliers decry CUNY’s selection of Muslim activist Linda Sarsour as graduation speaker
This is bad. And, absolutely correct in pointing out the inappropriateness of this invitation. Can we deploy some peaceful protesters at these events? Someone with a history of distaste for a culture of people shouldn’t be speaking on anti-semitism period. This is a direct violation of the rights of the Jewish people. Please blast this on Twitter and Facebook and, ask for an investigation as to who or whom should be held responsible for this inappropriate invitation. They should be disciplined, the invitation retracted, and an explanation. I wouldn’t back down until the person or persons responsible are thoroughly educated as to the bias they are creating and, ensure they do not do this again. Awful.
