This continues our series examining rising antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses in the United States.
Founded in 1965, the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) prides itself on being one of the most diverse campuses in the United States, highlighting its welcoming of large numbers of students from multi-ethnic backgrounds for whom English is not their first language.
However, what most may not be aware of is that despite the college’s “inclusive” credentials, it is currently grappling with a festering problem of antisemitism, often cloaked in anti-Zionism.
Indeed, a bombshell report released earlier this year revealed that the issue of anti-Jewish bigotry at the establishment has become so widespread it was described as “disturbing.”

Looking back more than five years, the report found that the UIC branch of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) had stepped up its activities to mount what could only be described as a campaign of hatred directed at both Jews on campus, and equally distressingly, those in the wider community.
The SJP is, of course, no stranger to controversy.

The organization, which has chapters in universities across the US, has a well-documented history of disseminating vicious anti-Israel propaganda and of vilifying Jewish students. There have also been numerous instances of overt antisemitism – despite the group claiming to reject such bigotry.
Indeed, SJP is a major proponent of the racist Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and “Israeli Apartheid Week” events, which are used to spread anti-Israel libels and convert students to their cause.The report showed that in the academic year 2020-21, the UIC chapter of SJP turned its attention further afield than the campus for the first time, launching a campaign that targeted Chicago’s wider Jewish community.In a bid to recruit so-called “intersectional” allies, the group mounted an initiative against the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago (JUF), labeling the non-profit organization , which provides charitable assistance to half-a-million residents of the city regardless of their faith, a “racist,” “homophobic,” “Islamophobic” and “anti-Arab” endeavor.Among other activities, SJP attempted to force the University of Illinois […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
