More Jew Hatred at UCLA and UC Berkeley

 

                                                                    

Just when you thought things could not get any uglier at UCLA and UC Berkeley, this happens. Two events, one at each campus, and both illustrate what a double standard the hate-Israeli crowd has.

On April 14, Omer Shem Tov, A former hostage held in captivity by Hamas after October 7, 2023, came to speak at UCLA as part of Holocaust Remembrance Day. One would have thought that the little rascals in the Associated Undergraduate Students Association Council would have treated the event with the respect and solemnity it deserved, but that was not the case. They issued a letter condemning the event. One UC Regent, Jay Sures, who has had his own private residence picketed and defaced by the pro-Palestinian mob, had harsh words for the student association.

Here is how the Daily Bruin reported the controversy.

Up at UC Berkeley, a convicted Palestinian terrorist woman named Israa Jaabis spoke (remotely) to a crowd of Hamas supporters on April 20 (appropriately, the birthday of Adolf Hitler). Jaabis reportedly won her freedom as part of a prisoner/hostage exchange after the October 7 attack. The event was organized by Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine and UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine. Here is a report from Legal Insurrection.

While these two examples do not define every student at UCLA or Berkeley, they embarrass the institutions, and they do say much about the people involved. It is clear that those involved feel no sympathy for the Jews who died in the Holocaust, nor for those who were murdered, raped, and taken hostage by Hamas on October 7. They can deny they are anti-Semites till the cows come home, but I don't buy it. Shame on both these universities.
