Hat tip Campus Watch and JNS News
In the wake of the Israel-Hamas fighting, fall session is about to open on US college campuses, and with it, more anti-Israel/anti-Jewish activism.

It is great that various Jewish organizations are attempting to help Jewish students deal with the wave of Jew-hatred that is becoming commonplace on college campuses. I think something more is needed. We need these organizations to hold seminars on anti-Semitism in order to educate the vast majority of students who may not even realize what is happening. So many are not informed enough to understand that all this commotion over Israel is founded on hatred and non-acceptance of Jews-certainly a refusal of the Arab world to accept a tiny Jewish state in its midst.
Unfortunately, too many mainstream Jewish organizations are unwilling to stand up and fight this problem for fears they will make matters worse or dissuade Jewish students from attending local universities that they service. UC Irvine, whose own photos are featured in this article, is a case in point. I have said over and over again that 99% of UCI students are not involved in this ugliness, but they also need to be informed of what is happening.
This coming September 23 has been designated by Hatem Bazian, a Palestinian garbage peddler at UC Berkeley, as an international day of fighting against Israel or some such rot. It will be an excuse for his junior bullies from the Students For Justice in Palestine and other knuckleheads to act out on college campuses. How many Jewish students will be assaulted, insulted, served "eviction notices" or otherwise intimidated on campus while cowardly administrators turn a blind eye?
It is time to stand up and fight, not by violence, but by educating all students as to what this is really about and suing universities that fail to protect their Jewish students.
