Forget About Terrorist Charities--What About US Univiersities Associating With Hamas?

Reut Cohen writes about Northern California’s Friends of Hamas:
Academic departments at leading universities in Northern California, including UC Berkeley and Santa Clara University, have recently begun co-sponsoring events with South Bay Mobilization (SBM), a group associated with Hamas.

While South Bay Mobilization is not the only organization in the Bay Area that has ties to Hamas through the activities of some of its leaders and/or members, it has taken a leading role on university campuses throughout the Bay Area. Members of South Bay have had luncheons with Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas, and have accepted medals from him in a highly propagandistic manner.

Members of South Bay Mobilization have also been linked to the Free Gaza Movement, which sailed to the Gaza Strip from Cyprus in August 2008. Therefore, South Bay Mobilization’s support for the Free Gaza Movement also constitutes support of Hamas and its aims, and is equivalent to an endorsement of terror, murder, and genocide.
Read the whole thing.

California is only the beginning, not the end, of the problem.
The Government finally won its case against the Holy Land Foundation by educating the jury--there is a lot more educating to be done, and the best place to start appears to be at the universities.
