Brandeis Plans ‘Detailed Discussions’ With Palestinian Partner School After Nazi-Style Rally

WTF?

What is there to discuss?
Please don't want to kill us a little nicer?
Use your words?
File under AYFKM?

Two Brandeis University faculty members will have “detailed discussions” with administrators at Al Quds University, a Palestinian school Brandeis partners with, regarding “a number of troubling allegations” in the aftermath of a Nazi-style military rally at Al Quds, Brandeis Senior Vice President for Communications Ellen de Graffenreid told JNS.org on Thursday.
In recently posted photos by Middle East analyst Tom Gross, students are shown wearing black military gear, carrying fake automatic weapons, and giving the Nazi salute during a march on the Al Quds campus. Additionally, several rally participants portrayed dead Israeli soldiers and trampled a banner painted with Jewish stars.
The two Brandeis faculty members who will discuss the matter with Al Quds left Thursday for what was a previously planned trip, de Graffenreid said. Brandeis President Fred Lawrence “expects a detailed report from them [about the Al Quds situation] upon their return,” she added.
“The Brandeis University community abhors the actions that took place on the Al-Quds University campus and condemns all acts that incite or encourage senseless violence,” Lawrence wrote on the Brandeis First blog..

I think you'd be interested to know, I left a message at the Brandeis University website, after an administrator from their University left a msg here at IBA.

The message he left was a link to the Brandeis response to the controversy on the Brandeis website.

Here's the msg I left:

Who are these people, championed by al-Quds University at Martyrs?

Thus far, my comment is STILL AWAITING MODERATION.

Since I posted the comment, other comments have cleared moderation and have been answered by the head of Brandeis.

NOT MINE, THOUGH.

The martyrs featured on the al-Quds University website are, no doubt, Palestinian terrorists. Brandeis ought to have known this.

Following your example Pasto, I too left a comment. This is what I said:

"I think there are easier ways to commit suicide."
