A student's Jewish affiliation became the subject of a heated debate at University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) earlier this month, after the student government nearly scrapped her acceptance due to her background.
Student Rachel Beyda applied to be a member of the UCLA Judicial Board in February, and presented herself as a candidate in front of the Board.
However, the meeting quickly dissolved into a debate over whether her Jewish background and affiliation with Jewish life on campus is a "conflict of interest," as can be seen in the video below. The debate begins at 47:30.

They weren’t very vocal when Kurt Waldheim had the UN declare Zionism (the notion of the existence of a Jewish state in the first place) “racism” in 1975.
Menachem Begin and Likud were socialists in the 70s? Can’t base a supposition like that totally on capitulation to Carter’s folly.
Incidentally, from reading back issues of Human Events from the 1950's or books such as Will the Middle East Go West? (Chicago: Regnery, 1957) by conservative polemicist Freda Utley, one will note that the attitude of many conservatives toward Israel in those days was once cool, if not downright frosty.
Let me guess that a Muslim who supports Shariah law and killing jews would have no problem getting on the board
RFK died for Israel??
huh??
Sirhan is Arab Christian. I believe Sirhan himself said he killed RFK because he seemed too friendly to Israel.
Jew-hate is not limited to Islam. Its relative absence in American Christianity is historically somewhat unusual.
Muhammad Mustafa al-Jihadi and his buddies?
Did you like the update UCLA Spite song? :)
remember the student vote at UC-Davis? Where the Muslims were allowed to heckle and shout at the voting jewish students? They’d fit right in at UCLA too
being killed by someone who was anti-Israel does not equate to the person dying for Israel
What was in the killers head does not attribute the opposite to the victim. For all we know RFK didn’t think Israel was in the top 100 issues.
Yes. And, BTW, I think Sirhan was just crazy. How craziness is expressed can sometimes be determined by one’s environment.
The first reason is the absence of an established church in America. If all orthodox Protestant sects were to be free to worship, then others, such as Catholics, Quakers, Unitarians, and Jews could rightly claim similar rights. Despite residual social discrimination, non-Protestants were free to worship and had full political, civil, and property rights. Catholics, Jews, and later Mormons prospered in this country as had not been the case in Europe where Jews or Catholics were in the minority.
The second is the effects of the 18th Century Enlightenment in Britain and its colonies, in reaction to the religious wars and persecution of the prior centuries. Jews were permitted to return to England and settle in the American colonies, non-Anglican dissenters were freed of restrictions on worship and business activities, and slowly but surely, Catholic emancipation was effected.
The third reason, since the late 19th Century, was the rise of dispensationalism in conservative Protestantism. This theological system clearly distinguished the role of the church from that of the Jewish nation. It holds to the position that national Israel remained in covenant with God. Prior to its rise, conservative Protestants largely followed covenantal, or replacement theology, which held that the church replaced national Israel as in covenant with God. Under covenantal theology, the Jewish nation were no longer in covenant, and were no different than any other nation or ethnic group.
Excellent summation!

It’s a left coast institution. It’s a university. They’ve turned anti-Semitic. Strike three.
huh??
Wasn't that Sirhan's rationale for killing him?
Sure did!
His rationale did not change the victims’
