Using the Anti-Klan Act to Address Campus Anti-Semitism

by Gregg Roman

The Middle East Forum Observer

https://www.meforum.org/65852/using-the-anti-klan-act-to-address-campus

This is the second in a series of four articles discussing how the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act and other federal civil rights laws could potentially be used to bring a class action lawsuit against Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for their coordinated efforts to harass and intimidate Jewish students on college campuses.

See the first article here.

What does the 1964 Mississippi Burning case that occurred at the height of the civil rights struggle have in common with the plight of besieged Jewish and Israeli university students today? More than university administrators or the faculty and student tormentors of the Jewish students may realize.

While prosecutors can use RICO statutes to press the case against Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for their efforts to harass and intimidate Jewish and Israeli students on college campuses, the same law that prosecutors used to litigate the 1964 murder of three civil rights workers in Mississippi might also apply.

SJP and allied organizations have engaged in a pattern of conduct amounting to illegal harassment, intimidation, and discrimination targeting Jewish and pro-Israel students

In "United States v. Price," better known as the Mississippi Burning case, prosecutors successfully argued that they could apply the Anti-Klan Act of 1871 (42 U.S.C. §§ 1985-1986) not only to the direct perpetrators of the murders, which were committed by members of the Ku Klux Klan, but also to those who were part of the broader conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil rights or, importantly, knew of the conspiracies but failed to take action to prevent them.

Section 1985(3), for example, allows federal civil claims against individuals who conspire to deprive others of constitutionally protected rights. Section 1986 goes a step further, establishing an affirmative duty and bystander liability upon those who have knowledge that a Section 1985 conspiracy is about to be committed but neglect or refuse to use their power to prevent it.

This Mississippi Burning precedent is directly applicable to the SJP conspiracy to harass Jewish students. SJP and allied organizations have engaged in a pattern of conduct amounting to illegal harassment, intimidation, and discrimination targeting Jewish and pro-Israel students in violation of students' Section 1985(3) rights.

Online forums also reflect the conspiracy. SJP plans and recruits for activities targeting Jewish students through various communications platforms such as online forums, encrypted messaging apps, and similar tools to shield activities from public view. This shift to online organizing by hate groups creates both challenges and opportunities for law enforcement and university administrators seeking to detect and disrupt unlawful conspiracies. However, while these online communications may be hidden from external view, they are likely visible to a significant number of insiders and sympathizers who participate in the same digital networks, as well as university information technology managers.

This is where Section 1986 liability comes into play. To the extent that SJP members and supporters become aware, through online communications, of unlawful conspiracies to harass and intimidate Jewish students but fail to act to report and prevent them, they face civil liability under Section 1986, even if they did not participate in or even agree with the aims of the conspiracy.

It is critical that university administrators, law enforcement, and the public take action to hold SJP and its supporters accountable and protect the rights of Jewish and Israeli students.

In this way, Section 1986 could serve to incentivize individuals within SJP's online ecosystem who observe the planning of activities that cross the line into illegal infringement of Jewish students' rights to take affirmative steps to report and disrupt them. The prospect of civil liability and monetary damages may motivate more conscientious objectors and whistleblowers to come forward.

Those accused of Section 1986 violations for failing to report based on online information would raise legal defenses, including potential First Amendment arguments that the statute impermissibly compels speech. However, precedent suggests that requiring disclosure of purely factual information regarding an imminent conspiracy to violate civil rights would not unconstitutionally compel endorsement of any ideology or run afoul of rights to anonymous speech and association.

Exposing the full scope of SJP's online activities is essential to shine a light on the injustices faced by Jewish students on college campuses today. The visible protests are just the tip of the iceberg. It is critical that university administrators, law enforcement, and the public take action to hold SJP and its supporters accountable and protect the rights of Jewish and Israeli students. The Anti-Klan Act provides a powerful tool to do so, just as it did in the fight for civil rights over half a century ago.

If You Own Them They Will Be Used.

Because I am Jewish, conservative and outspoken I constantly receive a lot of challenging commentary. Some tell me whomever I support results in an opposite consequence.  I am told by some friends  they not only do not agree with me but also want to have nothing to do with me.  For those who at least have the guts to express their views openly,  my reply is I appreciate your views, respect you for being forthright and I regret you allowing politics  to transcend friendships.

My closest friend is Charlie Bourland and he just left a message saying he is appalled at what is happening in the country.  Minister Jim Giddens is also a dear friend as are many others. 

Some wonder how I can remain calm.  My first response is getting  exercised is of no help, Second, I never doubted, underneath the surface, it was only a matter of time before anti-Semitism rose from the nation's sewers but I did not know what would trigger this hate and ignorance.  Third, I have faith, most Americans are rational, have good hearts and are equally revulsed by what is happening in our country. The problem is they are late to respond and/or remain silent. Finally, I believe extreme radicalism eventually exceeds moral boundaries of what most decent  Americans will no longer tolerate. 

Consequently, my view is to give the haters more rope because eventually they always hang themselves. I cite what happened among Eldridge Cleaver, Huey Newton and Angela Davis.

That said, I understand what is happening is allegedly being financed and orchestrated by Rockefeller and Soros' funding. Furthermore,  the various state and district attorney's general, many of whom are also funded by Soros, refuse to enforce the law and consequently it will take longer and require more rope. Finally, we have a pusillanimous president who has seldom done anything right and a corrupt Justice Department as well as The FBI.

If I prove wrong and America goes the way of all flesh, then America is not worth surviving and a new democracy will hopefully replace our nation. If that does not occur the world will live under Communism, autocratic dictatorships and destructive wars will both occur and spread. 

If you possess nuclear weapons they exist to be used.

ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE

ZOA: Northwestern Univ. Pres. Schill, Provost Hagerty and Student Affairs VP Davis Must Be Fired Immediately for Agreeing to Appease Antisemitic Pro-Hamas Trespassers

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:   It is appalling that Northwestern University President Michael Schill, Provost Kathleen Hagerty and Vice President for Student Affairs Susan Davis entered into a lopsided, dangerous agreement to appease numerous demands of the antisemitic, anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-Hamas “NU (Northwestern Univ.) Divestment Coalition”. The agreement rewards the NU Divestment Coalition’s trespass and five-day illegal encampment/occupation of Northwestern’s Deering Meadow; rewards the trespassers’ abominable, threatening behavior towards Jewish students; will cost Northwestern University many millions of dollars; will increase antisemitism and anti-Israel propagandizing at Northwestern; and will result in the NU Divestment Coalition taking further dangerous actions and making further bigoted antisemitic demands against Northwestern. Indeed, the NU Divestment Coalition’s organizers emphasized that their achievements in the agreement are only a “floor” for continuing their action to obtain even more concessions.   President Schill, Provost Hagerty, and VP Davis should be fired immediately for this disaster – and this dangerous agreement must be rescinded! If a group of white supremacists took over Deering Meadow and chanted for the deaths of Blacks, the white supremacists would be immediately removed from the campus – not rewarded with scholarships, professorships, buildings, power over vendors and investment powers. The same standard should apply here. The Northwestern officials who negotiated and entered into this agreement must be fired, and their agreement must be thrown in the dustbin. The student and faculty trespassers and promoters of anti-Jewish violence should be arrested and expelled or fired.   The Agreement: In this lopsided Agreement, the NU Divestment Coalition only agreed to remove most of their tents – something that they were already obligated to do! In other words, Northwestern gained nothing in the Agreement. (Incidentally, the tents were promptly then moved to pro-Hamas encampments at the University of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.) On the other hand, the University officials damaged the university, and especially harmed its Jewish students and faculty, by agreeing to:   Disclose (“answer questions from internal stakeholders about”) the university’s specific holdings. The NU Divestment Coalition crowed that such disclosure is a first step towards divestment from Israel. Re-establish an Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility (ACIR), including faculty and students, to be a conduit to the Board of Trustees’ Investment Committee. This will further aid the pro-Hamas coalition’s efforts to divest from Israel, Jews, and American companies that do business with Israel. Allow the NU Divestment Coalition to continue occupying the Deering Meadow (with one tent) until the end of the semester (the NU Divestment Coalition promptly brought in lawn chairs to replace the tents.)

CONTINUE READING And: Ideological cocktail poisons American campuses 'Woke' mob adds neo-Nazism to neo-Marxist/Islamist mix By Clifford D. May ‘Woke’ neo-Nazi, anti-Jew mob on American … more > OPINION: Back in December, the eminent historian Niall Ferguson wrote an essay in The Free Press that, it is now apparent, presaged the tidal wave of demonstrations now inundating college campuses around the country. It was called “The Treason of the Intellectuals,” which was also the title of a 1927 publication by the French philosopher Julien Benda. Mr. Ferguson notes that while that piece was written six years before Hitler came to power, German universities — then the world’s best — were already transitioning from scholarship to “the intellectual organization of political hatreds.” German academia, Mr. Ferguson writes, “did not just follow Hitler down the path to hell. It led the way,” He adds: “American academia has gone in the opposite political direction — leftward instead of rightward — but has ended up in much the same place.” That place is one in which there is intense hostility toward the world’s only Jewish state, and toward those who support its survival and that of its citizens. Antisemitism is hardly a novelty on the left. Back in the 1960s, the Soviet Union was responsible for first spreading the libel that “Zionism equals racism.” In truth, Zionism — once the conviction that the Jewish people has a right to self-determination in some part of the ancient Jewish homeland — is today merely the conviction that Israel has a right to continue to exist. The leftist ideology that has become dominant on campuses today, sometimes called “wokeism,” adds a twist that is racialist and arguably racist: that all those deemed (by the “woke”) as “people of color” are oppressed and entitled to commit any and all atrocities to “resist” those deemed (by the “woke”) as “White.” This is a mirror image of the Nazis’ belief that the German nation, “the Aryan man,” and White people were oppressed, and that the solution was what they called a “racial revolution.” (You should know that both Nazi and “woke” racial constructs lack any scientific basis.) “This is not the Second World War,” Nazi leader Hermann Goring declared in October 1942, “this is the Great Racial War.” Jews — not regarded as White no matter how pale their skin might be — were the primary racial enemy. Today, the “woke” decree that Jews — including black-skinned Jews from Ethiopia and brown-skinned Jews from Yemen — are White enough to deserve denunciation as “settler-colonists,” even in the Judean Hills and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. They claim every inch of Israel is a colony. Of what foreign empire, they don’t say. Much of the media have been calling the campus demonstrations “pro-Palestinian” but, from the start, they have in fact been anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish and pro-Hamas. Indeed, many demonstrators proudly proclaim: “We are Hamas!” At Columbia University last week, groups displayed signs reading “Al Qasam’s Next Target” with arrows pointing to Jewish students gathered nearby. Al Qassam is the Hamas unit that carried out the Oct. 7 massacre and atrocities in Israel. Unfortunately, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is not a demand that Hamas guarantee freedoms of religion, speech, and the press to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. My colleague Hussain Abdul-Hussain points out that in Arabic, the slogan is more straightforward: “From water to water, Palestine will be Arab.” Why do those chanting such genocidal slogans simultaneously claim that Israel’s defensive war against Hamas is genocidal? To understand, read up on Joseph Goebbels, Reich minister for public enlightenment and propaganda from 1933 to 1945. Hitler’s clearly stated goal was “the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.” The anti-Zionists’ goal is the annihilation of the Jewish state in the Middle East. As Mark Twain said, history doesn’t repeat, but “it often rhymes.” I need to mention the alignment between these “woke” neo-Nazis and Islamists. That, too, has historical roots. In Mandatory Palestine — ruled by the British Empire, which took the territory from the Ottoman Empire after World War I — the most prominent Arab figure was the mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini. He organized pogroms against Jews in 1929 and 1936. In 1941, he fled to Berlin, where he assisted Hitler, recruiting European Muslims to fight for the Nazis and broadcasting Nazi propaganda into the Middle East. He remains an inspirational figure to Hamas and similar groups. How many of the students shouting for an “intifada revolution” would even recognize his name? Probably very few, which raises a more mundane factor in the campus equation: To become a scholar requires strenuous effort. To become a “woke” social justice warrior requires a kaffiyeh, a piece of cardboard, and a Sharpie. I’ll briefly touch on one more topic: Significant financial resources have been necessary for the “intellectual organization of political hatreds” on America’s campuses. Qatar, a petroleum-rich monarchy that is supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood and hosts Hamas leaders, has been a major benefactor. According to the National Association of Scholars, Qatar gave at least $4.7 billion to American universities between 2001 and 2021. These funds support professors whose views align with those of the Qatari ruling family. Other prominent funders of anti-Israeli indoctrination and activism include billionaires George Soros and Neville Roy Singham (who, according to The New York Times, has close ties to the Chinese government), as well as several major left-of-center philanthropic foundations. There’s much about the funding streams we don’t know. New laws and policies — and serious enforcement of those that exist — could improve transparency and inhibit further transformation of American universities into faux-educational institutions where impressionable young minds are served a poisonous cocktail of neo-Marxism, Islamism and neo-Nazism. Enacting meaningful change would require leaders who recognize that today’s “treason of the intellectuals” is a threat to “our democracy” and have the courage to combat it. It’s up to you, the American voter, to decide who those leaders are. • Clifford D.
