UC Berkeley Professors Cry About Lack of Support for Israel Boycott

Hat tip Daily Californian

There is an op-ed running in the Californian (campus paper of UC Berkley) by a group of professors who are upset that the university does not support their efforts to boycott Israel.

Below is what I submitted to the reader comment thread. I don't yet know if it will be posted by DC. (As of Friday, not posted.)

I represent no organization. I am just one Gentile who taught part-time at UC Irvine for 18 years and witnessed first-hand the pure anti-semitism masquerading as a human rights protest for Palestinians. BDS, despite its denials, is nothing more than an effort to bring about the fall of the Jewish state of Israel. The fact that misfits like Jewish Voice for Peace and misfit Jewish professors choose to align themselves with those who support the killing of Jews (Israelis) does not legitimze BDS. Time and timne again, we have witnessed Students for Justice in Palestine disrupt Jewish events. I have personnally witnessed it at UCI on multiple occasions.

With all the violence, hate and destruction going on in the Arab world, one wonders why Israel, the only democrcary in the Middle East, gets singled out for supposed human rights violations, most of which are bogus. Make no mistake: BDS is anti-semitic to its core.
