Crossing The Line 2: The New Face Of Anti-Semitism On Campus

Anti-Semitism is once again emerging from the shadows on US college campuses, in the guise of anti-Zionism.

Crossing the Line 2: The New Face of Anti-Semitism on Campus reveals the proliferation of anti-Israel activities and anti-Semitic rhetoric on North American university campuses. The line between fair criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism has been crossed, and we are witnessing increased hatred and violence across North American universities – from biased faculty members, eviction notices, and hostile classroom atmospheres, to national campaigns such as Israel Apartheid Week (IAW) and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Crossing the Line 2 educates and empowers students and communities to learn more about current anti-Israel trends and take action.

This is the abridged 15 minute version of Crossing the Line 2. The full film will be released in winter 2015.

The Middle East Problem

The Middle East conflict is framed as one of the most complex problems in the world. But, in reality, it's very simple. Israelis want to live in peace and are willing to accept a neighboring Palestinian state. And most Palestinians do not want Israel to exist. As Dennis Prager explains, this is really all you need to know. In 5 minutes, understand how Israel was founded, and how, since that auspicious day in 1948, its neighbors have tried to destroy it, again and again.

Hijacking The Holy Land - Palestine, Propaganda & Peace

Hijacking the Holy Land takes you behind the headlines and past the media bias against Israel. The Palestinians have been trying to sell "land for peace" for decades: You won't believe what you see - the lies, the incitement and the hatred, all caught on tape. Witness how Palestinian propaganda seeks to rob the Jewish people of their rich history in the Land of Israel. Children are taught and encouraged to aspire to kill Jews and become suicide bombers. You'll be shocked at what is being taught in Palestinian schools.

Anti-Jewish Arabs Harass Jews In Jerusalem & Block Path

The thing is that these may be kids standing here in the frame, but this is a complete setup when you look at the background. These kids have some form of weapon to hit these guys with, plus the adult Arabs are waiting for one of them to do something so that they can step in and claim they were helping the "innocent" kids. One of the kids is shouting anti-Semitic abuse. The kids will start the fight and then the adults will also step in....believe me I have been in a situation like this, you don't want to be in it even if you think the kids are harmless. They are also doing this to humiliate these guys on camera as they know they wont do a thing about it because their lives will be in danger.

Tamir Yacobi "Breaks The Silence"

Tamir Yacobi "Breaks the silence" at a "Breaking the silence" event in Tel Aviv. His full testimony can be seen below the video.



Here is the full testimony:

"I enlisted in 2006, to the Armored Corps, to the 75th Battalion of the highly illustrious and decorated 7th Brigade, which participated at all of Israel's wars. The Brigade is also known as "Storm from the Golan". After we enlisted, we were brainwashed, positively, told of heroic deeds and fierce battles. I thought I would be honored to serve my country in that brigade. From time to time, we were switched to Infantry duty, patrolling various points in Israel. Our patrols have caught quite a few Palestinians attempting to cross from the Palestinian Authority areas into Israel.

I can never forget seeing them for the first time... they were just sitting there, in the holding cells, their eyes covered and their hands tied. I was just a young soldier. So I asked one our sergeants, "what are you going to do with them?" He looked at me with dead eyes and said: "Nothing, we're transferring them to the Police or to the Border Police." I could not imagine what they would suffer there...

That was, before I discovered that they would be held for three (3) days, and then set free. In fact, before we transferred them to the Police, we provided them with blankets and food, and even cigarettes...

Are you getting that?! These people, who could have been terrorists bent on murder, and murder just because their victims belong to a different nationality, as did the Nazis and before them the Crusaders, would be returned safely to their homes!

However, their intention did not prevent me, or any other IDF soldier, from providing them with all of the Human Rights they are entitled to. And we do that, knowing that there is a good possibility that one of them could be a heinous terrorist bent on slaughtering me -- me, the one that calls you brothers and sisters -- or your children and your families.

And that is the virtue that makes the IDF the most moral army of the world, and turns you, people, into jackals tainted with anti-Semitism that try to besmirch the most moral army in the world with lies and slander.

But here, at least, your attempt to use the IDF as a pawn in your political game didn't succeed. And you know why? Because we Israelis know the truth full well, and we know who are the good guys, and who are the bad guys. And you? Have you understood that yet?"

Tuvia Grossman meets the IDF soldier who saved his life

In 2000, the media published a photo of Tuvia Grossman, a Jewish student from Chicago -- bloodied and battered -- crouching beneath a club-wielding Israeli policeman. The caption identified him as a Palestinian victim of Israeli brutality -- with the clear implication that the Israeli soldier was the one who beat him. In fact, the policeman saved his life.

Ten years later, HonestReporting reunited Tuvia and his rescuer for the first time since those terrible events. Watch the video to witness their dramatic reunion.

Crossing the Line: The Intifada Comes to Campus



Crossing the Line, produced by acclaimed filmmaker Raphael Shore and directed by Wayne Kopping, explores the proliferation of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incidents on North American college campuses. In particular, the film explores the rapid growth of such incidents following the launch of Operation Cast Lead by Israel’s military into Gaza in late December 2008 and January 2009. The documentary demonstrates the blurring of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic lines, showing how the War evoked deep anti-Jewish sentiments among college students and professors.

The film explores the context of these hostilities, by demonstrating the financial ties between Middle Eastern Studies departments and Arab states; the often biased and Pro-Palestinian education received by students in college classes; and the historical connection between the Muslim Student Association and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Interspersed with accounts from Jewish Students and campus professionals, the film offers a glimpse into the experiences of Jewish college students who are actively involved in the daily struggle of supporting the State of Israel and fighting against biased misinformation both in and out of the classroom.

Palestinian Corruption and Humanitarian Aid



The Palestinian Authority is accused of corruption by many but receives more humanitarian aid per capita than any other country in the world. The billions of dollars that are meant for schools, hospitals and infrastructure have been spent on luxury villas, casinos and payments to terrorists.

Hijacking Holocaust remembrance at Northeastern University

Teaching children to hate Jews at a UNRWA summer camp in Gaza



Do you know what the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is for? It's an agency used to provide aid in various ways to refugees, such as summer camps. The agency is largely funded by countries and unions, such as the United States, European Union and United Kingdom. But what exactly are they funding?
