Oil Antisemitism, or, the Importation of Antisemitism from the Middle East to the U.S.
Antisemitism comes in many forms: religious, racial, state, economic (competition), antisemitism of the mob.
As a result of the Hamas pogrom in southern Israel, another type of antisemitism has clearly emerged: "oil antisemitism," antisemitism imported from the Arab oil-producing countries of the Middle East to various regions of the world, particularly in the U. S.
The report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) 11/6/23 – The Corruption of the American Mind: How Foreign Funding in U.S. Higher Education by Authoritarian Regimes, Widely Undisclosed, Predicts Erosion of Democratic Norms and Antisemitic Incidents on Campus (Errata: NCRI discovered a data labeling error in its initial report and has corrected the report to reflect these changes 11/21/2023) reveals that 200 U.S. colleges and universities have received $13 billion in previously undisclosed donations from foreign regimes. Much of these donations have come from authoritarian regimes and account for a staggering 300 percent increase in antisemitism at U.S. universities. The influx of undisclosed funds has not only led to a doubling of anti-free speech campaigns, but has also greatly increased the exposure of students to antisemitic and antizionist rhetoric.
The list of countries providing the most undocumented funding is topped by Qatar.
Since the September 11 attacks, Qatar has become the largest foreign donor to U.S. academic institutions, which haven't always bothered to disclose the source.
A study by the Institute for the Study of Antisemitism found a direct correlation between the volume of donations and the presence of pro-Palestinian groups on campuses. According to a study published in 2022 by the U.S. National Association of Academics, which did not generate much buzz at the time, Qataris donated an impressive $4.7 billion to U.S. universities between 2001 and 2021, just after the September 11 attacks.
However, the recipients failed to account for some of the money they received, as required by law. Qatar funds American universities and the rise of antisemitic violence in them. Reports on antisemitism in the United States indicated that between 2015 and 2020, institutions receiving funding from Middle Eastern donors experienced, on average, a 300% higher incidence of antisemitic incidents compared to those that did not. During the same period, institutions receiving undisclosed funds from Qatari donors had, on average, 250% more antisemitic incidents than those that did not.
This antisemitism is bought with oil money. This antisemitism is imported from the Middle East. This antisemitism can also be a product of the oil business. Qatar buys academic freedom and public opinion, funds Hamas terrorists and European soccer teams whose many fans become spokespeople for the sponsors' political views. Qatar's oil refining industry includes refining oil into antisemitism and shipping petrodollars in antisemitic packages to the U.S. university and colleges campuses.
One can summarize the results of these donations. They buy academic freedom, used to impose the antisemitic and anti-Israeli worldview desired by the donors. They undermine democratic values through politicization that induces propaganda condemning Israel and Jews for "oppression" and even "genocide of the Palestinian people" on campuses. Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrations affect not only students and academic staff, but also public opinion in the United States.
Moreover, powerful Islamic citizen protests are threatening President Biden not to support his re-election to the presidency if he supports Israel. These threats are having an impact on the president's policy of changing attitudes toward Israel's war against the Hamas terrorist organization in favor of the U.S. pressure on Israel. This pressure translates into inhibition of Israeli military action for the sake of the Palestinian civilian population suffering from it. Biden and his administration oppose Israeli military action in the southernmost city of the Gaza Strip, Rafah, "on humanitarian grounds".
It is contrary to reality to contrast Israel's military action in its defensive war against the rioters with its humanitarian obligations towards the Palestinian population. The idea of neutralizing a disproportionately belligerent Israel as a "destabilizing" factor for the "humanitarian" situation in the region is a misreading of reality in a crooked mirror. A humanitarian catastrophe is taking place in Israel: hundreds of Israeli civilians have been killed by Hamas terrorists, Israeli hostages taken by the terrorists are being held in Gaza in anti-humanitarian conditions. As a result of unprovoked Israeli military action by another Islamic terrorist organization, Hezbollah, tens of thousands of Israeli civilians have become refugees. For five months, representatives of the Biden administration have been conducting fruitless and pointless negotiations with Hezbollah terrorists and preventing Israelis from protecting their citizens from aggression from Lebanon.
The Biden administration has expressed growing criticism of Israel's military action in Gaza - he has said publicly "that Israel is starting to lose international support for its offensive “indiscriminate” bombing of Gaza" - and has pushed for the "two states for two peoples" concept, the realization of which threatens Israel's existence (“The only real solution,” Biden said, "is a two-state solution", as Democrats rose for a standing ovation.)
Israel is a small country with no internationally recognized borders, making noise all over the world with its keen desire to exist despite the hatred and aggression of its neighbors. Because of this noise, it can apparently be considered large and divided into two parts. One of these parts is a "Palestinian state," which cannot be democratic, for there has not been and is not a single democratic Arab state.
Consequently, the creation of a "Palestinian state" will not increase the amount of democracy in the world or contribute to the Western "democratic values" for which President Biden is trying. This state would be an obvious threat to the "humanitarian" situation in the Middle East, as it would continue to be at war with Israel.
Accordingly, the "humanitarian" dangers in the event of the formation of a "Palestinian state" for Israelis and for Palestinian Arabs will grow much greater than those about which the U.S. president is currently so concerned. In March 2022, the U.S. President Joe Biden issued a presidential declaration announcing a new stage of partnership between Qatar and the U.S. This declaration grants Qatar special economic and military privileges.
The flow of petrodollars to U.S. universities and other institutions and the import of antisemitism will continue successfully.

IT'S TO BE ANTICIPATED THAT BLM AND THE MUSLIMS WOULD COME TOGETHER GIVEN THESE ARE SUBCULTURES OF EXTREME VIOLENCE, HATE AND RACISM.
Far-Left Activist Shaun King Converts to Islam as Ramadan Starts: ‘My Heart Is with My Dearest Friends in Gaza’
Left-wing activist and former Black Lives Matter lobbyist Shaun King chose the first night of Ramadan to publicly reveal his embrace of Islam, with supporters exclaiming “Allahu Akbar” at the news.
On his Telegram account, King shared a video of himself and his wife reciting the Shahada, the Islamic creed that “there is only God and that Muhammad is his final messenger.” The caption on the video contained a message that he will be fasting in solidarity with “my dearest friends in Gaza”:
Good evening everyone in America and good morning to the rest of the world.
My wife and I just got home from evening prayers at our home mosque in Dallas, Texas.
Together, we took Shahada and converted to Islam to start off Ramadan. It was a beautiful, powerful, meaningful day for us that we will never forget.
I will be praying for you and I ask that you please continue praying for us.
We will begin fasting in the morning with over 1 billion Muslims around the world.
My heart is with my dearest friends in Gaza and I’m proud that we were able to provide meals tonight to thousands and thousands of families from the North to the South in Gaza and will do so every day of Ramadan.
I will be sharing much more with you tomorrow.
Love you all,
Shaun
The founder and director of the Legacy Institute Hasib Noor posted on X/Twitter: “One of the best news I’ve heard for Ramadan is BROTHER @shaunking accepted Islam. What an amazing man. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY Allahu Akbar!”
Others were quick to follow in applauding his conversion.
King self-identifies as black and was previously a Christian pastor. His career has long been plagued by allegations of financial misconduct, with major fundraising efforts failing to produce promised results. That pattern and a string of deceptive media hoaxes have made his name a punchline, ostracized from the Black Lives Matter movement.
Recently, he has worked to debunk reports of Hamas raping women in Israel during the October 7 Nir Oz terror attack.
In 2020 he sparked controversy when he declared all statues of Jesus that portray him as a “white European” should be torn down because they are “a form of white supremacy,” as Breitbart News reported.
“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” wrote King, a then self-described black man whose family says he is white.
“They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been. In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.”
Since 2015, King has claimed the Christian celebrations of Christmas and Easter are “tools of white supremacy.”
He was ejected from the Black Lives Matter movement by its leaders in December 2015 over questions about the “integrity” of activist fundraising.
King later received a scholarship from Oprah Winfrey to attend Morehouse College, a historically black school, and then denied lying about his race when he applied for the grant.
Global Female Genital Mutilation Cases Soar to 230+ Million
Cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) top 230 million worldwide and show no sign of slowing down, UNICEF said in a report released Friday, citing a dramatic increase of 15 percent since 2016 with most cases being reported in Africa.
FGM can include partial or total removal of the clitoris as well as the labia minora, and suturing of the vaginal opening to narrow it, in the incorrect belief the cut can control women’s sexuality and make them more likely to be obedient to religious and social restrictions.
The practice has been known to cause fatal bleeding or infections, and can also have long-term consequences such as fertility problems, childbirth complications, stillbirth and painful sexual intercourse, AFP reports.
“It is indeed bad news. This is a huge number, a number that is bigger than ever before,” said Claudia Coppa, lead author of the report released to coincide with International Women’s Day.
The AFP report sets out Africa is home to the most number of FGM cases with more than 144 million, ahead of Asia (80 million) and the Middle East (six million), according to the survey of 31 countries where the practice is common.

“We’re also seeing a worrying trend that more girls are subjected to the practice at younger ages, many before their fifth birthday,” UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said in a statement.
“That further reduces the window to intervene. We need to strengthen the efforts of ending this harmful practice.”
The report also showed that four in every 10 survivors live in conflict-torn countries with high population growth rates, claiming political instability disrupts efforts prevent the practice and provide support to victims.
“Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sudan account for the largest numbers of girls and women who have undergone female genital mutilation in conflict-affected countries,” the report said.
FGM is usually carried out on young girls between infancy and the age of 15, most commonly before puberty starts.
In 2012 the U.N. passed a resolution to ban it but for the most part the globalist organization has been ignored.

IRANIAN WOMAN WHIPPED 74 TIMES FOR REFUSING TO WEAR HIJAB
Iranian woman whipped 74 times for refusing to wear hijabNGSDENY ALLACCEPT ALL

Roya Heshmati, 33, was told she was being punished because she had violated public morals
An Iranian woman received 74 lashes for refusing to wear the hijab, defying the strict dress code even as she was taken to be whipped.
Roya Heshmati, 33, was charged with “encouraging permissiveness” after appearing unveiled on several occasions in the capital, Tehran.
“Her penalty of 74 strokes of the lash was carried out in accordance with the law and with sharia,” and “for violating public morals,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said late on Saturday.
Ms Heshmati was also reportedly ordered to pay a fine of 12 million rials (£225).
“The convicted … encouraged permissiveness [by appearing] disgracefully in busy public places in Tehran,” Mizan reported.
All women in Iran have been required by law to cover their neck and head since shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Whippings for breaching the dress code are uncommon, although officials have increasingly cracked down on those defying the rules after the practice surged during anti-government protests that began in late 2022.
The mass demonstrations were triggered by the September 2022 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd arrested for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.
During the protests, female demonstrators cast off their headscarves or even burned them.
Other women also increasingly began to flout the dress code, leading to the crackdown.
Ms Heshmati was identified as being of Kurdish origins by Hengaw, a Kurdish-focused rights group.

“As the lashes struck my body, I whispered, ‘In the name of woman, in the name of life, dawn will come,’” BBC Persian quoted her as saying, adding she had refused to cover her hair even as she was transported to be flogged.
She was arrested in April “for publishing a photo on social media without wearing a headscarf”, her lawyer Maziar Tatai told the reformist Shargh daily.
Ms Heshmati was also charged with “not wearing the Muslim veil in public”, he added.
Officials have installed surveillance cameras in public places to monitor violations of the hijab law and have shut businesses that breached the rules.
Iran’s parliament has also discussed a bill that would toughen penalties for those breaching the dress code.
