march 2017, she was elected student body president at american university in washington, d.c. the first african-american woman to ever be elected to that position. great day. the day after she actually took office as student body president, though, somebody on campus took it upon himself to tie up a bunch of little nooses to hang up all over the american university campus. there were nooses made out of black cord and they were holding bananas, in case the racial implications weren't quite clear enough. also on some of them were written the initials "aka" for alpha kappa alpha, which is the sorority to which au president dumpson belonged. so this was this shocking racist incident at american university in washington. it got some news pickup when it happened. but what happened after that is what brings us to the judge's ruling today. because when news articles appeared about this racist taunting at this college, these nooses and bananas that had been posted on campus in response to this young woman's election as president, when those news articles started circulating, they were s

cynthia miller idris is from the american university in washington d.c. she's an award winning author and specialist in far right extremism but welcome to d.w. do you think today's statement from the president was enough to stop things moving in the right direction i mean certainly it's. important to have a statement like that that's the quickest we've seen a statement come out of this white house and the strongest condemnation of hate that we've seen and i think those are important words but it's also very hard to take those words seriously when they coexist with the language that he still using or you know referring to immigrants as an invasion or or using language like infestation are other kinds of racist and exclusionary language against immigrants and others so i think we have a problem with the official statement versus the kinds of language that comes out of tweets and other kinds of communication do you draw i mean you live any connection between those tweets and this sort of action. absolutely and i don't mean to blame this exclusively on one pe

companies in the united states that are also funneling lots of money, billions of money into the american universities. and this is a sort of a hole that needs to be understood. here, this is a very important document. groups like the middle east forum and other groups researching the funding of u.s. universities by the muslim brotherhood and political islamists have discovered 300 million, some are speaking about 1.4 million. our research shows that we have accounted for $1.9 billion going to american universities. and what's fascinating is the undocumented report. the amount that has not been reported. that amount is almost $3 billion that we found. and given our lack of resources, although we tried very hard and we worked diligently, given our limited resources to put into this project and expertise, if we can find $3 billion unaccounted for, imagine what is going on. it's interesting that texas a&m, for example, their budget -- they have a report -- they did not report over $750 million. and their budget and the funding from qatar always matchup in michael's research. the qatari foundation, as we

employers who had decided to hire a foreign college graduate from an american university, rather than an american student. suppose there was such a program. wouldn't there be an outcry? there is a program and there is no outcry. one reason there is no outcry is because the press routinely talks about the opt program and never mentions the subsidy. the subsidy is the fact that neither the employer -- this is important -- nor the opt student is charged for the usual payroll taxes. medicare, medicare trust fund. even more so the social security trust fund, and the federal unemployment insurance trust fund. all of that adds up to 8.25% of payroll. that is a subsidy, the employer gets the subsidy. the former student gets a subsidy. that is what this program is. it involves a third of a million people, everyone of whom is a college grad. everyone who is taking a job not just out of the normal, but taking a subsidized job. i find that appalling, and it is a great big secret. as we will show you, a series of publications and scholarly organizations, and even an arm of the government itself do

finally i want to highlight fdr and the jews by alan lichtman, a professor at american university. there are a lot of people who get the history wrong about franklin delano roosevelt in the nazi period in the 30s and world war ii about what he could do and what he didn't do. this book is a more sympathetic portrait of what franklin donor roosevelt was dealing with and what he tried to do. there were a lot of pressures, not in terms of anti-semitic pressures and he had to face head winds and was constantly trying to allow more refugees into the united states when nativism and nativist -- out of the entanglements led by doug but god's -- demagogues like charles lindbergh and when fdr was in the white house, had to contend with virulent anti-semitism. tried to resist that. and into the united states especially children. didn't always do it as forcefully as we would like in retrospect. this is a sympathetic portrait of his efforts and difficulties faced at the time and well done, a very sensitive one. that is my account. >> thank you for your time. >> we want to hear what you are readi

that cutter was part of an axis of evil romney hoeing is a senior public policy fellow at the american university of beirut and he says the campaign was largely unsuccessful but its discovery will have knock on effects. the reality though today if you look at the u.a.e. and you look at qatar n. washington and in the american political elite the companies are doing fine they're not the terrorist supporting wild islamists that the saudis and what ideas have tried to paint them as while the iraqis and the saudis are really in a difficult situation in the u.s. with with congressional majority votes to prohibit arms sales to them and things like that because of the killing because of the lobbying they're doing because of the boycott of qatar and other things that they have done so to the bottom line i think is that the iraqis have not achieved anything by dealing with shady characters so it's going to shed more light through serious investigations on what the u.a.e. or the so it is or even the companies are doing in the united states i don't think the countries have much to worry about as far as we ca

let me bring infantile mina interest from the american university in washington d.c. she's an award winning also and a scholar of foreign extremism welcome to you now what is your assessment on why he is seeing an upsurge of violence linked to right wing extremism in the u.s. right now. well i think part of what people understand about right wing extremism is that it's motivated by a whole range of exclusionary ideologies beliefs hatred racism of others but they often don't understand that it's also tied to at the extreme fringe the idea. and imminent threat a demographic threat that's posed through immigration through the what's called the great replacement in their ideology of whites or of europeans needed more new europeans with others and that kind of part of the ideology has then ramping up on social media and also because it comes across from mainstream politicians and that has absolutely been fueling the violence as we have no report people's grief is turning into anger and there's shouting do something do something what can be done to look at such crimes and c

doctor guy ziv is a professsor of international relations at american university's school of internationalon. israel had been willing to allow congresswomen tlaib and omar to enter the country and it was a policy reversal due to constant pressure from president trump. and if you follow trump's series of tweets you can kind of see what his strategy is fairly clearly. continue to target these congresswomen, paint them as anti—israel and anti—semitic and then portray them as the face of the democratic party. never mind the fact that these two congresswomen who are part of the so—called squad represent a small minority of the democratic party. i can see — i think anyone can see mr trump's motive here. this is dangerous territory for israel, isn't it? it's always been israeli policy, i think, to tie support for israel to both parties, to both main parties in the us. here mr netanyahu is allying himself squarely with the republicans against the democrats. sure. i mean, this sets a very dangerous precedent. and it's also part of a continuing trend in the netanyahu era to turn israel into a partis
