Dear Mr. Kaplan,

Thank you for sharing. I have passed this on to our staff who are
reviewing the request. I hope to get back to you with our conclusion by the end of the week.

 Dear Mr. Sandoval;
Attached is a pdf file archived that was sent to me by a colleague  regarding West Bank Cuz. In the original email I sent Chancellor 
Cordova there was a link to another MySpace page for the ISM at the end of the email. The ISM is aware I am monitoring their pages  so changed the content at that link. My collegaue however has the  original page archived which has the smae photo of West Bank Cuz with  an AK47 machine gun. I will forward that to you as soon as I get it  and also confirmation if this guy is a UCR student or not.

 During our phone conversation one thing troubled me. You mentioned  you were contacting SFSU and San Diegot Stae to inquire if previously  similar events had posed problems. In my experience, the colleges  usually do not see below the surface of these events as logistical and training events to help overseas terrorist groups destroy Israel  and kill Israelis. No violence occurs on campuses in America  (although at SFSU I was accosted several times and even followed into  the restrooms).

 I seriously do believe these events on campuses only promote 
anti-Semitism in the US and abroad  and provide logsitical aid to the likes of Hamas. Even if Al Awda  pays for facilities, they should not be allowed on campuses because  they do not 1) promote peace but endless war on Israel until it is  destroyed with their motto "From the River to the Sea" 2) Train  people to roil the conflict indefiinitely. In addition, information  they convey to students is usually untrue to propagandize against  Israel and not based on academic scholarship; your university should 
not be a place simialr to the worst unviersities in the Arab 
totalitarian world. Al Awda is equally against the United States and  has always supported the terrorists killing US troops in Iraq.

This is not a case of free speech. This is a wing of the PLO, run by  the PFLP with a presence in America that uses America's campuses in a  similar manner as the Muslim Brotherhood. It is time for university  administrators to say no to these events on public campuses and you have more than ample notice at this point. I'll forward you the other  info shortly.

 Thank you.

 Do you have a photo of this little asshole with the AK-47 from 
MySPace? I had one yesterday but he changed it: West Bank Cuz, 25,  married, part of ISM, Taurus. California college student, probably enrolled at UC Riverside. He is linked to major ISM page.

 Dear Mr. Sandoval;
 I disucussed with you earlier that Al Awda has refused to admit
certain Jews to their conferences and you assured me that since the 
University is a taxpayer-supported institution,  people could not be 
barred from a public forum. SFSU required Al Awda to admit anyone who 
wanted to attend after they tried prohibitng Jews known to support 
Israel from attending due to the public nature of the academy.

 Today, I paid $60 to attend the conference so I could report on it. I 
used my own name and identity which Al Awda knows due to my exposing 
them as a reporter. You assured me I would not be harassed when I 
attended and that nobody could be barred. Please note the email I 
received below from PayPal telling me that Al Awda refunded my 
registration (maybe only partially) within one hour of my paying it to 
register. Please note I already paid for my plane fare and hotel and 
car reservation at the same time that I registered.  If you go to this 
link:
 http://al-awda.org/convention5/reservations.html

 you can read the follwoing statement:
 "Note: The convention host committee reserves the right to decline any 
reservation at its sole discretion for any reason."

 SFSU made them remove that statement from their website. Surely UCR 
does not want Al Awda restricting Jews from coming on campus for what 
is billed as a nonviolent event and contrary to University policy? By 
the way, I have not received that email promised in which I was to be 
assured security would only be handled by university personnel, not Al
Awda people and that cameras and recorders would be allowed.

Please call me so we can discuss and resolve this issue. After 5 pm 
you can reach me at ..xxx xxx xxxx..Please see below the email from 
PayPal I received sans any explanation.

Dear Lee,

We were recently notified by student organizers that the Al Awda
Convention will not be held on the UCR campus. I have no further
details but we have cancelled all  rooms reserved for this event.

Dear Jim;

 1. I sent a postal money order for $60 to the PRRC per the website for 
my reservation at their Conference on the UCR campus on April 24th. 
Thus far, my return receipt for the mail has not come back despite the
fact the post office says it should have been delivered. I would like 
for you to make sure my reservation is established so I will have no 
problem at the door. You told me to contact you if I had any problems. 
As mentioned, at the SFSU AL Awda COnference certain Jews were 
prevented from attending an open event on a public university campus.

 2.You promised to send me in wriitng confirmation that only UC Police 
would be allowed to handle security and that cameras and recorders 
would be allowed per university policy. So far, I have not received 
this and would appreciate your doing so.

 3. Finally, please visit the link below. It makes accusations against 
Jews and has a letter from
American Nazi Party leader, Pastor Ray Redfeairn in support of Al 
Awda/PRRC /Radio Islam that was involved in posting the site:
 http://www.radioislam.org/resistance/massacr.htm
 
For info on Redfeairn go to:
 
http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/Aryan_Nations.asp?xpicked=3&item=an

 The site Radio Islam has Al Awda all over it as the contact 
organization and its chapters as well. It was published in the year 
2000 and forgotten. This shows another link between Al Awda, the PRRC 
and the Nazi Party. It would certainly qualify as a reason to cancel 
this conference at UCR if the college does not condone or support 
anti-Semtism on campus or Nazism. By the way, the accusations in the 
website against Jews are unfounded.The Mohammed al-Dura tale was 
proven to be a fake and the Palestinian cameraman who shot it 
recanted. Al Awda/PRRC thrives on plausible deniability but this 
website Radio Islam is ample evidence of what I have been telling you.

 I would appreciate hearing about these issues as soon as possible. 
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Regarding the web page link 
above, I would appreciate your not telling the Al Awda folks about it
unless you cancel their conference because of it, as I plan on 
exposing it in an upcoming article of mine.It is important you see
 other Radio Islam sites and what they say about Jews being the enemy 
and to kill them:
 http://www.radioislam.org/ for example with commentary for you Ive 
provded at this link: http://www.adl.org/poisoning_web/rami.asp
 
The following is written on the Radio Islam page:

 "Al-Awda/the Palestine Right to Return Coalition strongly urges all 
peace-loving people to protest the ongoing massacres and to demand 
that the United States government immediately stop providing the 
weapons to Israel which are used to massacre civilians."

 Israel does not massacre civilians, but Al Awda/the PRRC is clearly 
involed with Radio Islam and so are the Aryan Nations and Nazi Party 
in the US. Please note also the number of chapters of Al Awda referred 
to on the page for "protests" with their contact information.
 I realize you say you consulted the Unviersity's counsel about this 
conference, but the Univeristy lawyer no doubt knew nothing of this 
information (that is why Al Awda and the ISM thrive on our campuses). 
The confernce is a training and strategy event to attack Jews in the 
US and abroad financially and is anti-Semitic. It violates US Civil 
Rights laws as well.
