A spokesman for the United States Mission to the United Nations also criticized the database creation and said the U.S. will have no part of it.
Racketeers use business intimidation to achieve their objectives. What's revealed, yet again, is the contemptible, anti-Israel agenda promulgated by the U.N. committee charged principally with the preservation of human rights.

Students demand urgent relief to be able to advocate for Palestinian rights on campus
November 3, 2017, New York, NY – Yesterday, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Fordham students filed an order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued against the university directing it to recognize Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) as an official club. Represented by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), Palestine Legal, and cooperating counsel Alan Levine, the students argue that they will suffer irreparable injury if the court does not reinstate the student government’s approval of their club status, which was vetoed by the dean of students. Without injunctive relief, the students will graduate before their right to advocate for Palestinian human rights on campus can be vindicated. Petitioners also seek expedited discovery against Fordham.
The students first filed suit in April, and the university has since moved to dismiss the case.
"The Fordham administration has prolonged this matter by leading us to believe that they were willing to work with us while actually running out the clock until student organizers graduated or became disillusioned,” said Sofia Dadap, one of the petitioners and a senior. “If the court does not intervene now, our opportunity will pass to ask Fordham to reconsider their selective protection of political speech and to stop having completely one-sided conversations about Palestine.”
Yesterday's filing calls on the court to order Fordham to reinstate the student government’s approval of SJP before a final decision on the merits of the case is reached. Otherwise, petitioner Sofia Dadap and likely petitioner Julie Norris will graduate before the court makes a determination, depriving them of the opportunity to advocate for Palestine as SJP at Fordham. Without club status, students cannot invite guest speakers, reserve meeting space, distribute or post materials, or solicit members through club fairs.
