A California judge has barred a Jewish district attorney from prosecuting a group of vandals who occupied the office of the president of Stanford University and spray-painted "death to Israel" on a wall at the university in 2024, the Jewish News of Northern California reported.
On June 4, 2024, anti-Israel protesters occupied the president's office and caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Twelve protesters faced federal charges following the incident.
In his ruling, Judge Kelley Paul claimed that DA Jeff Rosen overstepped in calling the incident antisemitic when it was not charged as a hate crime.
“This case is not a hate crime," Paul said. “The characterization of the prosecution as a fight against antisemitism runs afoul of case law."
The decision removed Rosen from the case, which was transferred to the California Attorney General’s Office.

This is bull, next thing they’ll block white prosecutor from trying blacks.
And the rats will still get 70-80% of the Jewish vote
The jury is supposed to be the finder of fact. You can impute motivation without a formal charge of the motivation. There were crimes motivated as anti-Jew (I dislike the term antisemitic, as being inaccurate) and rightly prosecuted as such before there WERE codified “hate crimes”.
California: Death to Israel Judge bars Jewish DA from prosecuting ‘death to Israel’ vandals ?
I find “hate crime” enhancements reprehensible, as they are less uniformly applied than the death penalty. And, in many cases, are used to punish thoughts instead of actions.
YMMV
That being said, the judge is off-base in my opinion, and the precedent could lead to many future bad judicial decisions.
It would be interesting to know what kinds of people or organizations Judge Kelly Paul tends to follow on YouTube and/or Facebook/ X/ Instagram.
This is a very disturbing decision, which I hope can somehow be challenged.
AI Overview:
Kelley Paul is a nonpartisan judge serving on the Superior Court of Santa Clara County in California. Appointed to the bench by Governor Gavin Newsom in August 2022, she was recently re-elected in March 2024 for a term ending in January 2031.
Exactly. The majority would vote for their own demise rather than voting for a Republican.
pro-Palestine protesters RIOTERS (the “Stanford 11”)
“This case is not a hate crime,” Paul said. “The characterization of the prosecution as a fight against antisemitism runs afoul of case law.”
Protesting against Israel is neither antisemitic nor a hate crime. The fact that this prosecutor seems to conflate the two is inappropriate and could lead the defendants to appeal any decision on the grounds that the prosecutor showed bias. So from a legal perspective this ruling could be justified.
What’s wrong with this picture?!
“non partisan” Do you NEED more evidence that AI, written by commie trash coders, is partisan?
Assuming they haven’t done that already.
Imagine if they barred a Black DA from prosecuting a case of alleged racism?
We’d never hear the end of it.
In his ruling, Judge Kelley Paul claimed that DA Jeff Rosen overstepped in calling the incident antisemitic when it was not charged as a hate crime. When you write ‘death to Israel’ there ain’t a whole lot of lovin’ going on for the Jews. Is that why Yarden Garzon didn’t get drafted, because she’s Jewish?
Oftentimes though errors can be made it takes those statements from other sources
In that case I’d blame the original source whatever it was
There’s a LOT of obviously Leftist politicians / judges etc.
described as “non-partisan” which is an obvious LIE
At the minimum.
