(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

A community college in Fresno, California, is hosting an event featuring a speaker who is critical of Israel and frequently uses anti-Semitic tropes.

Alison Weir, the director of two grassroots anti-Israel organizations, will speak Sept. 18 at Clovis Community College in a program titled “Uncovered: Israel’s Occupation of Palestine.”

Clovis President Lori Bennett said the college is not co-sponsoring the talk and is not associated with the speaker. She said the local media outlet GV Wire is renting the college’s facilities.

“Clovis Community College does not endorse hate speech or anti-Semitic remarks,” Bennett told the Journal.

The Anti-Defamation League called on the leadership of the college and other leaders to condemn Weir, who heads If Americans Knew and the Council for the National Interest. She has accused American supporters of Israel of fomenting wars and involving the United States in them, has said that Nazi and Zionist leaders colluded during World War II, and has claimed that Israel harvests Palestinian organs.
