A controversial “anti-Zionism” class at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) was reinstated on Monday without any substantial changes to the course material, The Algemeiner has learned.
Despite claims by UC Berkeley officials that the syllabus of “Palestine: A Settler Colonial Analysis” underwent revision, a close examination of the new syllabus by The Algemeiner reveals only minor changes and that the same anti-Israel literature will be studied as previously listed.
In addition, the language of the course description was modified to remove the admission that the course would be “exploring the possibility of decolonization,” as originally stated. It now says that the program will involve researching “a range of political alternatives” to “achieve justice for all.”
Paul Hadweh, the course facilitator, admitted to anti-Israel website Electronic Intifada that revisions to the syllabus were mere “cosmetic changes” and no adjustments were made to the course material.
“The changes are just clarifications to the course description, its objectives and the final project,” he said.
The decision to overturn the suspension of “Palestine: A Settler Colonial Analysis,” was announced by Dean of Social Sciences Carla Hesse following a recommendation by the Department of Ethnic Studies.
In a letter sent to Hesse by department chair Shari Huhndorf and obtained by The Algemeiner, Huhndorf wrote:
…The faculty supervisor and I have also worked with the student facilitator to revise the course description and syllabus with the aim of removing any ambiguity about whether the course complies with campus policies. The executive committee reached a unanimous recommendation that the course meets all of these criteria and therefore should be reinstated… I concur with this decision.

The little Eichmann’s win again.
Berkeley is a public university, right? How can a public university feature a course which attacks a segment of the public? You darn well betcha if they offered a course decrying Pali scum committing murders on innocents you’d hear a gigantic uproar. The libtards are wrapped around the Muzzlies’ fingers to be used any way the Muzzlimes wish. All that’s needed is a bow stuck on their empty pumpkin heads.
Governor Brown and colleagues have let the Nazis / islamonazis infest and basically take over the once- great California university systems — with extremely serious outbreaks and/ or threats or intimidations at Berkeley, Ucla, UC Irvine, San Francisco state university, and more. Shame shame shame on California’s academic and political “leaders!” Shame!!
Jewish students should disrupt and make a scene.
Jewish students should attend school elsewhere and Jewish donors should close their wallets.
Guaranteed to get the UC Regents’ attention in a big way.
Anyone who donates to a public university is enabling such as this.
I understand. The college is teaching a course for people who rape and destroy and who murder and kill themselves to take innocent lives for their religion and the college thinks it incorrect to do classes on a country that is protecting itself and is our only real ally in the middle east. I know it makes sense to somebody somewhere.
