Anti-Semitism On Campus Gets Real
Accuracy in Academia ^ | August 24, 2016 | Malcolm A. Kline

Usually university officials go into overdrive to solve a reported hate crime. Apparently they become more deliberate when the alleged victim is a Jewish student.

"On Thursday, the UC Irvine Office of Student Conduct announced that it had concluded a three-month investigation into an aggressive and disruptive incident on the UCI campus last May," the Louis D. Brandeis Center reported on August 22, 2016. "The incident involved an anti-Israel mob that disrupted a small event held by a Jewish student group on campus."

"The angry mob of about 50 students blocked the entrances and exits while loudly chanting angry, anti-Israel, anti-police, and pro-Palestinian sentiments that promoted violence, anti-Semitism, and hate. One Jewish student, Eliana Kopley, attempted to get away, but was chased and hounded by members of the angry mob, forcing her to hide in a kitchen while a UCI staff member protected her."

The Brandeis Center represents Ms. Kopley, a student at the University of California at Irvine. "According to last week's announcement, the student group Students for Justice in Palestine ('SJP') is responsible for violation of the UCI Code of Conduct's provision prohibiting 'Obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, administration, disciplinary procedures, or other University activities,'" the Brandeis Center reports. "As for sanctions, SJP was issued a written warning, effective immediately and continuing until March 29, 2017."

"SJP must also host an educational program by November 18, 2016." LDB President and General Counsel Kenneth L. Marcus stated, "I am disappointed in the outcome, which fails to hold SJP accountable for the harassment and physical intimidation of Eliana Kopley - or to even acknowledge that anything happened to her that night."

Anti-Semitism has always been enormously popular throughout history.

It was unfashionable for a time afer the Nazi excesses of World War II were discovered. Now it’s back in vogue.

Got a prolem? It must be the Jews’ fault.

Wow. A written warning, in effect until March, 2017. Oooooo, Scary. The Universities have no teeth to punish intimidation? Maybe those SJP warriors will come after the Uni Heads next. Maybe then they will recognize there is a problem.

I find in myself more anger about anti-Semitism than I get when Whites are the targets of racism.

There's just about no punishment I would disagree with, when groups like this target a young Jewish woman.

Man that makes my blood boil.

Islam has already trumped feminism, where Muslim rape gangs are ignored per because police consider being called racist worse than stopping rapists. Rotherham rape scandal and Cologne (EU wide, really) sexual assaults prove that.
Now Jew hatred per the Koran is minimized because Islam trumps anti-semitic attacks, from Jews attacked across the EU and now US minimized and blamed on GENERAL local culture instead of the specific culture / religious group attacking them - Muslims.

This is absolutely disgusting. It is a stark indicator of how much influence the Muzzlimes and their useful idiot sympathizers have gained in America. This should scare the heck out of everyone, non-Jews included. Who’s to say that Catholics or Protestants or Sikhs aren’t next in being intimidated, actually attacked, threatened, etc.? How dare these Muzzlimes and their idiot followers do this to U.S. citizens? Let them crawl back under the rock they came from, or if they are on a visa, send them back to their hell hole home.

I'm Jewish and for are intents and purposes White. I see no reason not to get equally angry about both.

I think that’s a reasoned comment, with a twist.

I do think of people of Jewish decent to be different, because they were God’s chosen people. All Whites were not in the original terms, sending the message out to the Gentiles and all that.

If it were not for the genocidal proclivities of those who hate the Jews, I would probably feel the same as you do.

You don’t generally get folks wanting to exterminate Whites as a race, but you know..., these days it’s moving in that direction.
