College graduates are concerned pro-Palestinian activism could deter future employers – Chicago Tribune/MSN

“The reality is we might not get jobs because of (our activism),” said Rayna Acha, an undergraduate anthropology major at the U. of C. and an organizer with Students for Justice in Palestine. “I’m in this situation now where I have to find a job to support myself but I also need to continue to fight for the things I need to fight for.”

Good – there are consequences to one’s actions! Feel free to find a job in the Middle East!

Golly gee, Rayna. Do you think there are a lot of employers out there who want somebody in their offices or on their payroll who support terrorists, rapists, murderers, people who use women and children as human shields and steal humanitarian aid? You sound like you would be a lot of fun to have lunch with, have a drink with after work, or go to the company Christmas party. I guess you will have to look a little harder to find someone to pay you while you support the barbarians.

Rayna should hightail it straight over to Gaza and take up her cause. They have open positions for missile catchers. Otherwise she’s nothing but talk.

I guess these college students did not learn that actions have consequences.

Acha would do well to remember the quote from John Lennon “ The only reason people like Jerry Rubin wanted to associate themselves with my fame and money is because they couldn’t get jobs.”

I’m sure she would have no problem getting hired by CPS. Then she could continue her “activism” with full support and no worries as she spreads her poison.

No worries, Rayna Acha will have no trouble getting that part – time “career” gig as a barista, lol…
