The newly appointed Chancellor of the University of California – Berkeley (CAL) denied in a recent interview that he signed a petition demanding Columbia University divest from companies doing business with Israel.

While chair of Columbia’s Department of Anthropology in 2002, Nicholas Dirks’ name appeared on a controversial petition calling for the Ivy League school to divest from Israel because of the “brutality of Israeli military rule over Palestinians.”

Dirks denied that he signed the petition, in an interview with the University of California’s Office of Public Affairs.

UC Berk Chancellor = liberal = Dirks

Liberal= sleazy antisemite liar

Ergo: Dirks = sleazy antisemite liar.

Let’s see if he clears out the islamoNazi filth from the UC Campus. If he does, then we can overlook how his name got on the islamoNazi petition 10 years ago....

Standard liberal procedure, deny, deny, deny, then when presented with proof, it was all a joke!
