Florida Atlantic University denies media access to anti-Israel event
BizPac Review reports, “TV and radio news reporters Tom Trento and Mark Campbell attempted to video a Students for Justice in Palestine event at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) recently. Both had been cleared by the Secret Service to record the presidential debates at Lynn University before the November election. Yet last week and again on Tuesday, they were denied admission by FAU officials to cover the Islamist events on campus. Videos will be aired, though, of the latest confrontation with the powers that be at this public university and their censorship of openly advertised meetings.”
Watch the video of the confrontation with FAU personnel:
Tom Trento is a popular SE Florida radio talk show host. On his YouTube channel Trento states, ”
The TrentoVision radio/TV internet team was aggressively prohibited by the police from videotaping or audio recording pro-Palestinian Josh Ruebner during his Jew-hatred ‘teach-in’ at a publicly advertised, public event on campus at the Florida Atlantic University.”
In an email Trento states:
The evidence is in, Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton has a default policy which establishes the school as a “collaborator” with Palestinian Jew-hater organizations, like Students for Justice in Palestine.
THE EVIDENCE
For the second time in less than a week, Tom Trento and his TrentoVision commercial radio/internet TV show have been aggressively banned by the FAU police from videotaping various anti-American, anti-Israel presentations which are part of the comically named, Israeli Apartheid Week program.
THE TIMELINE
On Tuesday, February 12 the TrentoVision media team tried to videotape an anti-Semitic presentation by Josh Ruebner, anti-American, anti-Israel propagandist at a publicly advertised, public event at FAU, a public University. As you will see in the powerful video above, the FAU police aggressively stopped the TrentoVision team from recording the exact presentation which TrentoVision would release for the world to see.
Last week, on Wednesday, February 6, the TrentoVision media team tried to videotape an anti-Semitic presentation by Greta Berlin, the Marxist founder of the Free Gaza Movement at a publicly advertised, public event at FAU, a public University. As you will see in the powerful video below, the FAU police aggressively stopped the TrentoVision team from recording the exact presentation which TrentoVision would release for the world to see.
Trento has posed these questions to the FAU administration.:
1. Why did you institutionally avoid answering our many requests for your specific policy regarding videotaping public events on campus?
2. Why did you instruct the FAU police to aggressively ban TrentoVision media from recording a Jew-Hate presentation?
3. Why do you stand, by design or default, with Jew-Hating Palestinians against the first amendment rights of the Press?
4.Why do you support, by design or default, a propaganda program, “Israeli Apartheid Week,” designed to ultimately “obliterate” the nation of Israel?
