On December 11, 1945, during the 17th day of the Nuremberg Trials, the documentary film, The Nazi Plan, was screened. The film was presented as evidence at the Nuremberg Trials against Hermann Göring and twenty other Nazi leaders. The film brings out the fact that on April 1st, 1933, the Nazi anti-semitism campaign began. The emphasis of the campaign was a boycott of all Jewish businesses. (BDS?)

The Nazi war trial brought about the horror of Jew hatred. From the concentration camps to the nightmarish practices of the SS and Gestapo, everyone at the hearings was thoroughly shocked and outraged at the injustice practiced by the Germans against the Jewish people. No one ever believed such atrocities would ever happen again.

Some of the statements that came out during the trial are worth noting. Adolf Hitler once stated in a speech in 1939, “Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!” He also stated, “Nature is cruel; therefore we are also entitled to be cruel. When I send the flower of German youth into the steel hail of the next war without feeling the slightest regret over the precious German blood that is being spilled, should I not also have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiplies like vermin?”

SS Reichsfuhrer Himmler once stated, “We have - I would say, as very consistent National Socialists, taken the question of blood as our starting point…by problem of blood, we of course do not mean antisemitism. Antisemitism is exactly the same as delousing. Getting rid of lice is not a question of ideology. It is a matter of cleanliness.”

Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, wrote in his diary, “Beginning with Lublin, the Jews in the General Government [Nazi occupied Poland] are now being evacuated eastward. The procedure is a pretty barbaric one and not to be described here more definitely. Not much will remain of the Jews. On the whole it can be said that about 60 percent of them will have to be liquidated whereas only 40 percent can be used for forced labor.”

A memorandom from Gestapo Headquarters, 1944, said “In amending my directive of June 20 1944, I request that those people subject to special treatment be sent to a crematorium to be cremated if possible.”

Most people believed this nightmare was over with the defeat of Germany at the end of WW2. None of us ever imagined that it could happen again, especially in the US. But it is! It is happening right under our noses on our college campuses!

Judith Butler is the Maxine Elliot Professor of Comparative Literature at theUniversity of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). She endorses a “a full boycott of Israel, both academic and economic.” (Sound familiar?) She also considers Hamas and Hezbollah as “social movements.”

Mohammed Hamideh attended Buffalo State. Hamideh’s social media activity reveals a violent hatred of Jews. I can’t list his quotes here due to the vulgarity of his tweets.

Jumana El-Ammori is an account manager at A-1 Telecom. She graduated from Indiana University at South Bend in 2015. She’s joked about how she “would kill a yahoodi [Jew] before I kill a bug. I don’t mess with bugs. That’s what brothers are for.”

Shaden Hamdulla is a freshman member of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). She posts on Twitter, “Contemplating if we should get another hitler to put you in concentration camps and wipe you all out” and “Y5rib bat el yahood.[May Allah destroy the Jews].”

Peshang Osman is a student at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). He has tweeted such things as “Voting for Hitler” and “shut up, Jew stupid” and “Stupid Jews.”

Mhesa Khalil is a member of the Muslim Students Union (MSU) at UC Irvine. Khalil shared a Facebook post which reads “I WILL GIVE MY LIFE TO END ZIONISM BEFORE IT ENDS HUMANKIND” and “Zionist are modern day Nazis!!” She also posted in support of senior Islamic Jihad militant Khader Adnan.

J. Kehaulani Kauanui is the current Chair of the American Studies Department at Wesleyan University and often tours North American campuses to promote BDS. Kualani has suggested that Palestinians have the unfettered right to take up arms against Israel. She is currently co-editing a book on Israeli “redwashing” with anti-Israel Professor Steven Salaita. The book claims that Israel promotes “Indigenous Peoples of the Americas as a deliberate strategy to conceal the continuing violations of the Palestinian people.”
