More on Campus Anti-Semitism

Hat tip Pro-Israel Bay Bloggers

My friends at Pro-Israel Bay Bloggers have posted a report on campus anti-Semitism which focuses largely on the University of California including UC Irvine, where I teach part-time. I am cross-posting it. Please link to the article by Andrew Loeb for the Louis D Brandeis Center.

As to the Loeb article, I would like to highlight point number 8, which referred to Jewish Voice for Peace, a leftist group of anarchistic, anti-Israel Jews who do not recognize the right of expression for Israel's defenders. Here is a posting I did when three of them came to UC Irvine in 2011 to speak sponsored by Students for Justice in Palestine. It was here that Israeli activist, self-proclaimed anarchist, and US college student Matan Cohen said that those who support Israel should not feel comfortable on US campuses. I called him on this during a heated q and a.

So it is hardly surprising that JVP would try to deny the problem of anti-Semitism on UC campuses. They are a contemptible group.
