The barbaric and atrocious Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7 have brought about a pivotal moment in our nation’s self-awareness. For decades, the David Horowitz Freedom Center has been warning of the growing pro-Hamas, pro-Jihadist, Jew-hating sentiment on American college campuses. Suddenly, the depth and breadth of campus Jew hatred, fueled by Marxist ideology that divides us all into oppressors or their victims, is on display for all to witness.
Genocidal cries of “Globalize the Intifada,” “From the River to the Sea,” and “By any means necessary” have echoed as a constant chorus on America’s most prestigious campuses, fueled by faculty members and DEI officials who actively celebrated Hamas’s horrific crimes against innocent civilians.
Sensing our moment, the Freedom Center stepped willingly into this breach. In a stealth campaign to circumvent campus censors and reach students directly, the David Horowitz Freedom Center conducted a direct action campaign on three prestigious campuses that are home to some of the worst offenders: Georgetown University, Florida State University, and Louisiana State University. On each campus we distributed 2,500 newspapers containing our new report naming the “Top Ten Campus Hate Groups in America,” leaving copies in dining halls, student activities centers, attached to bulletin boards, and in other key locations on each campus.
The report exposes and ranks ten campus organizations that have become vehicles of resentment and hatred directed at our nation, at Jewish students and supporters of Israel, and at the founding principles that are supposed to buttress the universities themselves—open discourse and academic freedom.
The three campuses where we distributed our newspapers contain some of the worst hate groups in the nation. Georgetown University is home to the #1 campus hate group, the Black Law Student Association (BLSA) which has promoted racism, advocated for censorship, and destroyed the careers of faculty members who stand for meritocracy and fail to obey the racist orthodoxy mandated by DEI officials.
In January 2022, law professor Ilya Shapiro, who had just been hired as a senior lecturer and to head Georgetown’s Center for the Constitution, was placed on administrative leave after he tweeted his opposition to Biden’s pledge to select an African-American woman to serve as the next justice on the Supreme Court.
Shapiro quickly clarified that he simply meant that Biden should not let racial preferences guide his decisions on Supreme Court nominees and should pick the best candidate regardless of race. But to the BLSA, his promotion of meritocracy at the highest level of the American judiciary was a racist thoughtcrime. The Black Law Student Association released a lengthy statement calling on the administration “to demand the revocation of [Shapiro’s] employment contract and to condemn his racist tweets.”
Nor was Shapiro’s persecution the only instance of the BLSA’s brutal repression of free expression and commitment to racial prejudices. In a separate controversy occurring in March of 2021, Georgetown Law professor Sandra Sellers was recorded speaking with her colleague David Batson, about how she felt badly that African-American students tended to earn lower grades in her course.
The BLSA released a statement which called on the university to fire Sellers without due process. “We demand nothing short of the immediate termination of Sandra Sellers as adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center,” the BLSA exhorted. “Not suspension. Not an investigation. The University must take swift and definitive action in the face of blatant and shameless racism.”
According to the skewed logic of the BLSA, merely recognizing that African-Americans have historically not performed as well in a law school class, is tantamount to racism.
At Florida State University, another of the campuses targeted by our newspaper campaign, the organization Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was ranked at #4 on our list of the Top Ten Campus Hate Groups. In the wake of the October 7 attacks, the group retweeted a message from the National SDS organization praising Hamas as the “Palestinian resistance” that led “attacks that utterly humiliated Israel.” FSU’s SDS added, “Victory to the Palestinian resistance!” and pledged “complete and unconditional solidarity” with Hamas and predicted the destruction of Israel.
The group’s reaction to October 7 was merely the icing on the cake when it comes to promoting Jew hatred. In April 2022, FSU SDS released a hate-filled anti-Semitic statement claiming that the organization “Stands with Palestine.” The statement demonized and delegitimized Israel, claiming falsely that “This month the israeli [sic] occupation has continued to escalate the brutality of its occupation of Palestine and its systematic genocide of Palestinians” and that “Every Ramadan the immoral and illegitimate zionist forces go out of their way to terrorize Palestinians.” It concluded by repeating the genocidal slogan, “FROM THE RIVER, TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!” The statement also contained a de-facto endorsement of Palestinian terrorism, stating “All across Palestine, the people are rising up against the Israeli occupation. SDS supports their efforts towards national liberation and a free Palestine by any means necessary!”
In addition to their anti-Semitism, FSU SDS has repeatedly attempted to censor ideas and speakers that don’t adhere to their radical worldview. In November 2021, the group released a statement demanding that Florida State University cancel a planned speech by conservative and pro-Israel author Ben Shapiro. SDS ludicrously claimed that Shapiro “has affirmed white supremacy by pushing back against ‘Critical Race Theory’ (in other words a correct telling of U.S. history) and decrying systemic racism as a baseless belief.”
At Louisiana State University, the groups targeted in our newspaper campaign were the proudly socialist organization Cooperation Rouge and the Black Student Union at Louisiana State, which jointly ranked at #5 on our Top Ten list of the worst campus hate groups.
In May of 2021, Cooperation Rouge published a letter that was signed by 11 other organizations, including the Black Student Union (BSU) promoting the genocidal Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and charging Israel with “ethnic cleansing” and “war crimes.” The letter quotes holocaust-denier Normal Finkelstein and Black Panther Party arms-dealer Angela Davis (described as a “philosopher”) to promote the view that Israel is an illegitimate “apartheid” state that should not exist.
The Black Student Union also worked with Cooperation Rouge and the LSU chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine to organize a “March for Palestine” which was used to delegitimize and demonize Israel and promote anti-Semitic propaganda. An Instagram post from BSU showed images of members with posters expressing support for BDS as well as genocidal sentiments including “From the Land to the Sea, Palestine will be Free,” “Stop Global Colonialism, Free Palestine,” “Boycott Israel, Free Palestine,” and “Stop the Genocide in Gaza.”
The horrific behavior of these and other campus organizations all across the nation has made it clear that our nation’s universities are in crisis. As Daniel Greenfield wrote, just days after October 7: “The radicalization of universities made them into safe spaces for the worst possible extremists. Conservative faculty and all opposing voices have been banished from campuses. Pro-Israel and conservative students have learned to hide their views to avoid becoming targets. And curriculum changes have turned places of learning into Marxist indoctrination centers. Those are the conditions under which colleges can celebrate Islamic terrorism or Communism, in which the worst possible crimes, even the murder of children, meet with approval as long as they are dressed up in revolutionary language and woke dogma.”
Our campuses have become insular, closed environments where real-world concerns and truth cannot enter. Where the brutal butchers of Hamas are hailed as heroes while their innocent victims are told their mere existence justifies such savagery. Student organizations on campus—those targeted by our campaign, but also many others—play a key role in repackaging and rehabilitating failed philosophies like Jew hatred and Marxism for a new generation.
This is why direct action campaigns like the one conducted by the Freedom Center this fall are so important. We disrupt the illusion that academic life can exist in this parallel realm where up is down, where terrorists are freedom fighters. We call out the bigots and Jew-haters and promoters of terrorism and don’t allow them to hide behind leftist bromides. We paper their campuses with undeniable evidence of their Jew hatred and lies.
Sara Dogan is the National Campus Director for the David Horowitz Freedom Center. She has written extensively on issues including academic freedom and anti-Semitism on campus.
Its good to see a Newspaper that’s willing to spill the Beans about these extremists
Listen to the Dennis Prager podcast on the 19th December.
Carol Swain, former political science professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt. Credible reports suggest that the controversial President of Harvard, Claudine Gay, plagiarized her work.
DIE affirmative action in action.
I saw Swain today on War Room – she’s a true American patriot – she loves Jesus and America.
WHERE ARE THE HAMAS TERRORIST CHEERLEADERS NOW??? –
Hamas Murdered Gad Haggai, 73: American Hostage Abducted During October 7 Attack
Hamas murdered U.S. citizen Gad Haggai, who was abducted during the October 7 terror attack, according to a press statement by Kibbutz Nir Oz, the community where he lived with his wife, Judy Weinstein, an American who remains a hostage in Gaza.
Haggai held dual citizenship in Israel and the U.S., as does Weinstein. He was thought to be a hostage, but was confirmed as having died after being wounded and abducted.
After 9-11 the Albuquerque Peace and Justice Center held a protest on the UNM Campus with signs: “WE DESERVED IT!”
After 10-7, many groups held a protest in support of HAMAS with signs: “THEY DESERVED IT!”
I wrote this after 9-11:
“When The Wall fell, we cheered, They cried. When the Twin’s fell, we cried, They cheered.”
There were Americans cheering, people dancing in the streets in Dearborn, celebrations all over the world. They saw Lady Liberty bend at her knees. I suspect that the bombers wanted the Twins to FALL LIKE TREES spreading destruction and death many blocks down.
Also at UNM, the President of the Islamic Center of NM, Ahmad Assed, held a protest in support of HAMAS several years ago. Now he’s hiding because I’ve called all the news stations, our newspaper, to interview him about his past support and now if he still supports A TERRORIST GROUP, and none will confront him.
The Mayor’s wife, wore a Hamas neckerchief in a panel discussion five years ago.
In both cases, the media will not interview them. CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE because they too support TERRORISTS!
As a 14 year old, my back was injured by having a chair pulled from under me. The perpetrators were not disciplined, because they explained that I had been making racist comments. What had I said that was so bad? I had stated in a Sociology class that I would have liked to go to a grammar school (the UK had fairly recently implemented comprehensive education). Although the teacher immediately gave me credit for an honest statement, my fellow pupils saw selective education as a racist concept.
Many universities and colleges throughout the United States have been thoroughly infiltrated and influenced by the insidious stealth jihadists.
There may be little doubt that those stealth jihadists are backed and funded by Iran and Qatar as well as oil rich Saudi Arabia.
You made an important observation here….about “insidious stealth jihadists.” FYI, the Koran supports and demands doing Jihad through stealth means if jihad can’t be accomplished by force or conversion. So, after 9/11, when CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) went on Oprah and said to the country that Muslims can live with their Christian and Jewish neighbors, CAIR was lying. It’s true that the Koran says that. However, that statement was later replaced by a statement from Mohamad that said the opposite. Under Koran law, the later statement, on the same subject if they are in conflict, supersedes the former statement. Therefore, jihadists actively use stealth and deception to spread Islam in Western countries because they know they can’t do it by force or conversion. America needs to be aware of this.
Yes, Taqiyya which is deception, is used by Islam to dupe their enemies and overcome them. It seems the left has adopted this practice too.
Those non–Muslims Americans, of university and college campuses through the United States, who are protesting against the State of Israel and who likewise greatly favor Hamas are people who are ,rightly , described ,as the “useful idiots” of the leaders of Hamas and their jihadist members who are dedicated to the cause of conquest for the cause of Islam.
Those Americans who aren’t Muslims the stooges of those Hamas chefs and the other Muslim terrorist, For those of Hamas view all people who are not Muslims as inferior creatures to them and refer to them .
Behind their backs as , “Kafirs,” which is the Islamic derogatory term for “disbelievers”
It’s tragic that those non-Muslims pro-Hamas America protesters against Israel are so very deluded by Hamas that this Islamic terror / murder organization so easily manipulates and uses them as their tools.
Those poor people are ,truly, their useful idiots.
Americas worst Hate Group by far is the Southern Poverty Law Center(SPLC)while they are accusing others of the same thing
This is what happens when you put low IQ, hateful and violent bullies in charge.
The multi millennium historical story of Judea seems to have been lost down the rabbit hole of
Antisemitic hatred. The truth is out there if these morons would remove craniums from rectums.
The tyranny, misery and oppression unleashed upon humanity coincides with the rise of Islam.
Fascism and communism fall well behind in bloodshed. About time these poltroons found out about it. We need to financially starve these corporate indoctrination factories from every avenue available. Parents….wake up. You’re much better off with a plumber or a carpenter than a freedom hating out of control rage monkey.
Just promoted your newspaper to a new group I found that could help distribute this very good newspaper across more campuses. It would be great for you & this org shown in the link included here could work together to stop the insanity of these campuses & groups allowed to continue. Hoping you both take this initiative and “share the wealth” to more institutions.

FPM can really help by expanding on Daniel Greenfiekds excellent reporting that exposes Soros as a major funder of anti-Semitic, pro Hamad demonstrations that are global and dangerous. GETTING THE WORD OUT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR TERROR GROUP PAYMASTER AND ARCHITECT SOROS
Psalm 37:1-2
37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Stopping the money flow to such injstitutions is about as easy as stopping the flow of US, EU, and Muslim aid to Hamas..
It hinges on Americans’ commitment to the Republic and fair play. How much remains of that?
We must always defend the truth. Everyone is entitled to defend themselves, especially from those who hate for no sane reason other than to hate.
Jesus told us in 1 Peter 5:8. Be sober, be vigilant, and alert, because your adversary the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him and stand firm in the faith. This conflict is spiritual as well as physical, don’t ever doubt it.
We all need to defend the truth. There are those who hate just because of hate because they have no sane reason for doing so.
Jesus said in 1 Peter 5:8. Be sober, be vigilant, and alert, because your adversary the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him and stand firm in the faith.
This is not only a physical war, its a spiritual war as well.
