I'd like to donate to Hampshire with a note supporting this divestment. How do I do that?

Here is Anti-Apartheid divestment at Harvard in Can You Find Deval Patrick?.

I started out in Phil's class but graduated a year later because of an illness. Thus, he missed these demonstrations, which actually failed to move the administration.

Divestment succeeded when the Harvard administration was foolish enough to give Desmond Tutu an honorable degree and thereby make him eligible for the Harvard Board of Overseers.

Unfortunately, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick grovels much too much to Newton Jew Zionists.

Modern DNA studies on the Y chromosome of Jews worldwide have largely disproven the Khazar origin theory for the vast majority of Jews, including the Ashkenazi.

A 1999 study by Hammer et al, published in the Proceedings of the United States National Academy of Sciences compared the Y chromosomes of Ashkenazi, Roman, North African, Kurdish, Near Eastern, Yemenite, and Ethiopian Jews with 16 non-Jewish groups from similar geographic locations. It found that "Despite their long-term residence in different countries and isolation from one another, most Jewish populations were not significantly different from one another at the genetic level... The results support the hypothesis that the paternal gene pools of Jewish communities from Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East descended from a common Middle Eastern ancestral population, and suggest that most Jewish communities have remained relatively isolated from neighboring non-Jewish communities during and after the Diaspora."[45] According to Nicholas Wade "The results accord with Jewish history and tradition and refute theories like those holding that Jewish communities consist mostly of converts from other faiths, or that they are descended from the Khazars, a medieval Turkish tribe that adopted Judaism."[46]

A 2001 study by Nebel et al found Eu 19 chromosomes, which are very frequent in Eastern Europeans (54%-60%) at elevated frequency (12.7%) in Ashkenazi Jews. The authors hypothesized that these chromosomes could reflect low-level gene flow from surrounding Eastern European populations, or, alternatively, that both the Ashkenazi Jews with Eu 19, and to a greater extent Eastern European populations in general, might be descendants of Khazars.[47]

A 2005 study by Nebel et al, based on Y chromosome polymorphic markers, showed that Ashkenazi Jews are more closely related to other Jewish and Middle Eastern groups than to their host populations in Europe. However, 11.5% of male Ashkenazim were found to belong to R-M17, the dominant Y chromosome haplogroup in Eastern Europeans, suggesting possible gene flow. The authors hypothesized that "R-M17 chromosomes in Ashkenazim may represent vestiges of the mysterious Khazars". They concluded "However, if the R-M17 chromosomes in Ashkenazi Jews do indeed represent the vestiges of the mysterious Khazars then, according to our data, this contribution was limited to either a single founder or a few closely related men, and does not exceed ~ 12% of the present-day Ashkenazim.[48]

I think the lessons that we learned is that you’ve got to go at this from every angle. You’ve got to do community organizing, you’ve got to get students represented in high decision making positions, you’ve got to educate the community, you’ve got to organize rallies and protests, and exhaust every avenue for non-violent action. On top of that, a successful group has to be patient but also self-critical. There’s going to be a lot of resistance and a lot of people smearing you, but you have to be ready for that mentally. There’s folks trying to discredit us now, but our audience knows the truth, and we know that this is a part of a larger movement. This is bigger than Hampshire.

Words for all of us to live by. Thank you Brian, and thank you Adam for this piece.

John:

One can donate to Hampshire on-line here:

Several of us readers of this blog have already donated to Hampshire in honor of SJP's efforts.

the dna study does shed some light on the origin of ashkenazim population. the question remains, are the ashkenazim more semitic than the palestinians?

Here's hoping that this doesn't fizzle out. All support and respect to those organising here, in the UK and everywhere else in this lousy planet.

"Britain to host international summit on combating anti-Semitism
Canterbury, England (ENI). To combat a growing tide of anti-Semitism seen to be sweeping Britain, Europe and other parts of the world in recent months, lawmakers from 35 countries will meet to discuss the issue at an international meeting in London"

Why is that Zionists go running to government whenever their racist chickens come home to roost? News flash: Big government can't protect you from your own screwy, destructive, suicidal behavior.

Bush, the Neocons and American Zionists liked to say of American Empire: "We can make our own reality." News flash #2: No you can't. The laws of God and nature apply to everyone.

When are these people going to screw their heads on straight?

Chickens? Are you talking about the chickens from the palestinian region (Alf's chickens) who were whining so much the property owners ate them for dinner?
