The new suit is different from others against universities over their responses to Jew-hatred in that it accuses Chapman of violating a statute that lawyers typically invoke in instances of workplace discrimination, according to Matthew Mainen, a litigation attorney at the @NJACLaw.
“This legislation clarifies and strengthens procedural protections for Holocaust survivors and their heirs by ensuring Nazi looted art claims will be considered on the merits,” stated @JohnCornyn, who led the 2016 bill. “With the rising tide of antisemitism around the world, this bill sends a message that Holocaust survivors and their heirs will not be forgotten, and that justice does not have a time limit.”
The seven-page finding obtained by the @jewishsf states that in August 2021, during Arab American Heritage Month, a slideshow presentation in the district featured a map that excluded Israel.

The public school violated First Amendment rights in two ways, according to @LoriLMarcus, legal director of @deborah_project. The alleged “Muslim-only prayer room” discriminates against non-Muslim students, and the school used Jewish prayers that the boys recited in the room as “a basis for disciplinary action and justification for claiming harassment of Muslim girls,” she told JNS.
The @brandeiscenter posted a letter that Adelphi’s community concerns and resolution office sent to the center’s client, Israeli-American math and computer science professor Tuval Foguel, who filed a complaint against the SJP chapter. The university told Foguel that it determined that the student group “created a hostile environment towards the Jewish community.”
“We are concerned that the San Francisco Board of Education approved textbook purchases before adopting or publicly reviewing the related curriculum,” Levine, a former California state representative, told JNS. “This circumvents the transparent process required by law.”

Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and the firm Cohen Williams, accuses the private school in Stanford, Calif., of being “complicit in permitting an environment saturated with intimidation and harassment of Jewish and Israeli students to flourish on campus.”
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor is “an advocacy organization on a controversial topic, and should be used with attribution for factual claims,” Wikipedia states on its list of “reliable” and “perennial” sources. The group appears “to gather and responsibly report claims and information gathered directly from primary sources, and is widely used with attribution by reliable news sources,” Wikipedia states.
Iranian regime leaders have long said “death to Israel” publicly, and Gideon Sa’ar, the Israeli foreign minister, told the United Nations Security Council this week that the Islamic Republic’s avowed goal is to “annihilate the State of Israel.” Iranian terror proxies, including Hamas, call for Israel’s destruction in their charters.
