An adjunct professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) said that Jews cause corruption around the world and “Muslims will erase this filth called Israel,” at a sermon at the Islamic Center of Union County, New Jersey last Friday, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported.
New York Congressman Lee Zeldin called for Abbasi to be fired, saying “At a time when anti-Semitic violence is on the rise throughout the United States, no one, especially someone charged with educating young adults, should be further fanning the flames of anti-Semitism like this and endorsing violence against Israel. As we saw last month, the CUNY faculty has an anti-Semitism problem, and this is just another example.”
Zeldin was referring to the resolution proposed by CUNY’s union last month “condemning the massacre of Palestinians by the Israeli state’’ and Israel’s “expansionism and violent incursions into occupied territories.”
The resolution called on CUNY to adopt BDS, saying that the union “cannot be silent about the continued subjection of Palestinians to the state-supported displacement, occupation, and use of lethal force by Israel.” The resolution, which was proposed in the wake of the Israel-Gaza conflict and approved last week, did not mention the rockets launched into Israel from Gaza by Palestinian terror groups.
