Pro-Palestinian Hamas Students Send Demands To USC

I am sick of these protests.

Students carrying Palestinian flags, drums and boxes painted to look like coffins staged a mock funeral procession on Trousdale Parkway Wednesday in an attempt to raise awareness for Palestinian rights.

We think it’s awesome[bullshite..ed] that President Sample recognizes Israeli academics’ right to freedom,” said USC-SJP Co-President Alex Shams, a junior majoring in international relations. “We are simply asking for equal treatment for all groups — for everyone.”[who is taking their freedom away?]

The letter asked President Sample — who called a boycott of Israeli academic institutions in 2007 “counterproductive … to academic values” — to declare support for Palestinian academic freedom, to create an annual scholarship for 10 Palestinian students and to donate supplies to Palestinian schools destroyed in the Gaza Strip conflict.

The Palestinian scholarship would require USC to recognize the Palestinian territories as a place of national origin, which they currently do not, Shams said.

Frankly, until Hamas stops hitting Israeli cities with katusha rockets nothing will change. All the aid sent to rebuild what was destroyed is wasted. Hamas will re-arm with said aid and Gaza will be demolished again.

Wiki about:

SJP groups typically condemn the what they call "apartheid" policies and laws of the state of Israel and also reject and condemn hatred or discrimination against other religious, racial, or ethnic groups.

"SJP also categorically opposes any form of prejudice or discrimination based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. At the same time, SJP manifestly rejects attempts to equate principled criticism of Zionism, or of the character or policies of Israel, with anti-Semitism."

Reason for their protests? They despise Juice
