Denounce Hate and Bigotry at UT-Austin

The Issue

After storming into Israeli Professor Ami Pedahzur's classroom to call for the destruction of Israel, members of the Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) began shouting "Long live intifada" – a call for violence against Israelis.

Now, PSC members want Dr. Pedahzur fired because they felt "intimidated" when he stared back at them. Worse, they're filing a civil rights complaint because Dr. Pedahzur responded with an open letter to the campus community, revealing the group's leader uses the screen-name “Georges Abdallah,” a Lebanese assassin who murdered an American soldier.

It's time we join our voices in denouncing PSC's tactics. Hate groups, bigotry, and violence of any kind – including anti-Semitism – have no place at UT-Austin or any college campus. Sign the petition.
