Danielle Sobkin, one of the organizers who invited Israeli lawyer Ran Bar Yoshafat, said the mob grabbed a sophomore who tried to attend the event, called him a “dirty Jew” and spit on him. She said that protesters also shoved a senior into the auditorium door as she tried to check in attendees, and that they grabbed a freshman by her neck.
Unconscionable. The university should make an example of people who engaged in this kind of anti-Semitism to send a message that prejudice, hatred, and violence won’t be tolerated.
Whatever happened to punching nazis?
Yes yes. Killing thousands of people in what looks like genocide? Okay! Protesting the killing resulting in a couple of people getting into physical altercations? This is UNACCEPTABLE! We cannot tolerate antisemitism! Hate is not okay!
Imagine thinking you have to choose between not supporting genocide and not permitting anti-semitic violence.
Imagine thinking that anything that shows, even remotely, some opposition to what jewish people do is antisemitism.
That’s antisemitism right there, you didn’t even need to click into the article, just open your eyes a little.
Sure thing buddy. This antisemitism that you’re talking about is happenening right now because people are awful. It has absolutely nothing to do with the genocide in Gaza. Nothing! In fact we have been experiencing “antisemitism” for ages at Berkley every time a jewish speaker was invited to talk. /s
How disconnected are you from the real world?
Imagine excusing violence and antisemitism in America because of the actions of a government thousands of miles away.
