Hamas-Tied CAIR Sues Northwestern University Over Antisemitism Training Video

Terror-linked CAIR is suing Northwestern University because students were asked to watch a video about antisemitism. CAIR opposes acknowledgment of antisemitism because it defines them.

That’s the whole lawsuit.

They claim it violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

CAIR, a pro-Radical Islamist group with ties to funding terrorism, wants to ban mandatory antisemitism training at Northwestern University because it prevents them from calling for violence against Jews.

Northwestern’s antisemitism training addresses genuine post-Oct. 7 spikes in campus hostility toward Jews, which data from FBI reports confirm as surging. Hamas-CAIR’s suit twists civil rights protections to contest basic education against hate, prioritizing ideological cover over safety— a pattern in their advocacy that undermines genuine pluralism. Universities must enforce standards without fear of such legal theater.

For decades, the terror linked group has been actively working towards “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. This is their stated mission by objective. And for years my colleagues and I have reported, exposed, and laid bare their treachery and destruction. The worse and more pervasive their actions, the more the Democrats and their media monkeys lauded and exalted them while demonizing us.

And so here we are for those curious as to how we got here.

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. During that case, a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood was released, naming CAIR’s parent organization, the Islamic Association for Palestine, as one of its allied groups, and explaining that the mission of Brotherhood groups in the U.S. was “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Islamic group sues Northwestern over required antisemitism training, claims it violates Civil Rights Act

Even as CAIR sues Northwestern, its own state chapter promotes the very kind of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion workplace education it now condemns.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is suing Northwestern University on behalf of the school’s Graduate Workers for Palestine, alleging that requiring students to complete a mandatory anti-Semitism training course violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The complaint claims the training “prohibits expressions of Palestinian identity, culture, and advocacy for self-determination,” and accuses Northwestern of silencing students, including some Jewish students, who criticize Zionism.

According to a complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the lawsuit argues that the training violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination by federally funded institutions on the basis of race, color, or national origin. “Under the pretense of combating antisemitism, Defendant Northwestern University has enacted policies and practices that prohibit expressions of Palestinian identity, culture, and advocacy for self-determination,” the filing states.

The mandatory video at the center of the controversy was produced by the Jewish United Fund (JUF) and features a montage of statements from Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke juxtaposed with those from anti-Israel activists, illustrating that “you can’t tell the difference” between the two. Northwestern students who refused to complete the training were barred from registering for classes and were given an October 20 deadline to comply.

CAIR contends that the training “equates critical engagement with Zionism with anti-Jewish statements by the Ku Klux Klan,” and discriminates against “Palestinian and Arab students by branding their ethnic and religious identities, cultures, and advocacy … as antisemitic and subject to discipline.”

The complaint also claims the training “restricts Northwestern students from advocating for Palestinian liberation, equal rights, an end to apartheid in Palestine, and for the rights of Palestine’s indigenous people.”

The lawsuit follows months of escalating anti-Israel activism at Northwestern. Earlier this year, protesters vandalized the university’s Holocaust center with graffiti reading “Death to Israel,” “Intifada Now,” and with Hamas triangles. The university’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter hosted an anarchist training using materials from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization, encouraging students to “build an Intifada” and “destroy amerika.”

Since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks on Israel, Northwestern has been among several US campuses that saw a surge in antisemitic activity. An anti-Israel Gaza encampment took over Deering Meadow in spring 2024, where Jewish students reported being harassed with slurs such as “dirty Jew” and “Zionist pig.” Video footage showed masked demonstrators wearing Hamas insignia confronting and threatening students, while others displayed defaced posters of university president Michael Schill, who is Jewish, with devil horns and blood drops. The US Department of Justice later included Northwestern among the universities under federal investigation for alleged antisemitic harassment and discrimination following Oct. 7.
