Jewish faculty at the University of California and Scholars for Peace in the Middle East are protesting the intimidation of Jewish students on California university campuses. They have posted an open letter online, directed to the governor of California and the administrations of the University of California and the California State University.

Good lord.

In the United States.

I think all public universities around the country need to start reviewing their curriculum on a consistent basis.

Disgusting, isn't it? I never thought I'd see the day when 'open season' would once again be declared on an ethnic group by publicly funded institutions.

Sometimes it seems like anti-Semitism is like the flu virus: it's always lying around waiting to mutate and become virulent.

[Reactionary]

Aww, this can't be. Liberals have assured us that they're against hate.

Of course, being degenerate swine they really don't mean it. But the words sure sound good.

[Snapping Turtle]

Interesting, isn't it?

Sometimes it seems like anti-Semitism is like the flu virus: it's always lying around waiting to mutate and become virulent.

I think anti-semitism is the canary in the coal mine. When it appears you know that fascism (real fascism, ie: leftist hate mongering combined with socialism) is on rise.

[pierrem15]

You're right: the 'mainstream' left in this country is quickly changing into a Leninist party with no pretensions of bourgeois republicanism.

'It's for the children': the nanny state with a truncheon.

Can someone tell me the last time a Muslim did anything positive in USA?

A movie?
A Corporation?
Made a Rug?

I just get no positive vibes at what these people can do for America.

Help me Muslims. Where are you?

Preaching to the choir brother, preaching to the choir.

[SmoothTalker]

So long as you aren't straight, white, Jewish, male, conservative, or Christian, the left is very tolerant of your viewpoint.

[Slings and Arrows]

Signed.

[Inyokern]

They should start a petition saying:

"I was stupid for being a liberal. If the intimidation of Jews does not stop immediately, I will become a Republican."

Now THAT would get action.

Galling Part:

These people keep wanting to tell me how "every side needs to be shown" EXCEPT at our universities!!! (Anyone see the story about Armed Forces Radio rejecting that liberal talk show?)

At a University you can show Marxism and hatred and intolerance and it's all fine as long as you're doing it for lefty causes. When we going to get some "fairness and balance" at our Universities? We have plenty of time to "show the side" of gay rights, civil rights, feminism, etc - but no time to show the other side?

But it's not hypocracy because......???

Same problem at Columbia University in New York. The Jewish
students did a movie about it called "Columbia Unbecoming"
(their web site is WWW.columbiaunbecoming.com).

The Israeli and jewish students were intimdated and threatened in the Middle Eastern studies classes. And of course, the administration of Columbia had the friends of the troublemakers looking in to it. Needless to say nothing was done.

[son of caesar]

this is just my opinion based on my take of world history. this episode is another plank in the coming persecution of jews especially here in the usa. jews for the most part can thank their leftist brethern for this time that is coming. bizarre indeed.
