On May 31, a potted plant was thrown at a window at the UC-Irvine Chabad House, which is also the residence of Rabbi Zev Tenenbaum and his wife. Below is his official statement. (Orange Counbty Independent Task Force on Anti-Semitism.)

*Update (June 8).
Not for nuthin', as they say, but I can't seem to find any statements about this incident coming from Rusty Kennedy of the OC Human Relations Commission. Can't say I'm surprised. Words or deeds of anti-Semitism at UCI never have been a priority with Rusty.
Same for the OC Jewish Federation. I heard the head of OC Hillel has made a statement, but something from the Federation should be forthcoming, wouldn't you think? Or would that be an admission that there actually is anti-Semitism at UCI?

This is how it starts. For all those who said the MSU's words were nothing but words, well, what next? Nobody was hurt? Then nobody was killed? It's justifying by trivializing.
.
And no outcry from the Orange County Human Relations
Commission? I'm sure this broom closet agency that costs the taxpayer $300,000 a year will include this incident as part of its annual hate crime statistics to justify further funding for this commission while not caring one iota about rising anti-semitism in the OC.
The next time it will be a Molotov Cocktail instead of a potted plant.
This is a direct result of the anti-Israel/anti-Semitic rhetoric that prevails at UC-Irvine.
Was it kosher?
Fullerton,
Good point. Had this been one of Rusty Kennedy's favored victim groups, he would have been on the scene even if 2 am.
Hmmm. A UCI version of Kristallnacht?!

Squid,
From what I understand, the house had a Menorah in front and someone in the neighborhood had complained to the homeowner Ass. (or whoever oversees the area) about it.
Those homeowners associations are the real threat to individual liberty.
Kristallnacht? Squid, only a very comfortable American would indulge in such a pathetic comparison. Talk to someone who lived through the real thing, or read their writings. The Nazis were not throwing potted plants through one window. And they were not a band of outlaws: they WERE THE GOVERNMENT.
The Islamonazis recently torched a synagogue in Tunisia. ALL the synagogues in the Gaza Strip were demolished by the Islamonazis when they took power there.
