'G.U.P.S.'
-- 'General Union Of Palestine Students' doit@sfsu.eduSanctions against the General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) for actions at the May 7 rally that violated procedures and guidelines for rallies/demonstrations. GUPS has been put on probation for one year, losing its funding and its Web site for the year and facing stronger sanctions in case of future violations of rally rules or the student code of conduct.
Congratulations to everyone who (in some way) helped to shut down this site. The alert will remain so that we may monitor it and make sure it doesn't pop back up!
What is on this site is incredibly sickening. This is hate speech at it's ugliest; it's anti-Israel/anti-Jewish rhetoric beyond vile. In fact, it is a smear campaign like few others; its peers include such known hate groups as Stormfront and the Aryan Nation. We will be firing off a letter to the university as soon as we stop being nauseated and write one and we suggest that you do the same. This HATE site must be removed.

"We are a group of Harvard and MIT faculty and students who have convened recently to attempt to bring into the open a critical discussion of Israeli human rights abuses against Palestinians. We are collecting faculty, student, and staff signatures on a petition (modelled after a similar petition by the Princeton faculty) asking Harvard and MIT to divest from Israel until the rights of Palestinians are respected. As of May 10, a total of 117 MIT and Harvard faculty have signed."
If this is a sample of the intellectual quality at one of the, supposedly, finest universities in the world, we are all in deep trouble! (The only reason I didn't write something like, "Those scum-eating, festering slime who support the murderers of innocents" was to keep my own 'intellectual' quality at a higher level than theirs.)
