[Expletive] Israel, long live the Intifada' angry mob screams at Jewish UC (Irvine) student
Jerusalem Post ^ | 5/22/16 | Hannah Broad

An angry anti-Israel mob at the University of California at Irvine chased a Jewish student into a building while chanting anti-Semitic epithets after she tried to attend a campus screening of an Israeli documentary last Wednesday, the Observer reported.

Second-year Eliana Kopley was attempting to enter the showing of the Israeli documentary "Beneath the Helmet" about the IDF when a crowd of protesters physically obstructed her and chased her into an adjacent building.

The angry mob proceeded to pound intimidatingly on the windows and doors while shouting "Long live the Intifada!" and "F**k Israel!"

Kopley called the police, who escorted her safely into the film screening amidst the angry rhetoric of the activists. In spite of arriving safely to the event, Kopley was overwhelmed by the trauma of the incident and became emotional.

In contrast to the Kopley's response to the irate horde of protesters, the UC Irvine campus group Students for Justice in Palestine lauded the mob's behavior and labeled their intimidation techniques a success.

Academic centers across the United States have seen an uptick in increasingly vehement anti-Israel sentiment, particularly in California.

In 2015, more than 30 organizations, including Jewish fraternity AEPI, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Zionist Organization of America wrote to University of California regent Bruce D. Varner in July, requesting that substantive measures be taken to combat rising anti-Semitism on UC-affiliated campuses.

“For years, Jewish students have been subjected to anti-Semitism. For years, we have been forced to wear the badges of our politicized identities. For years, UC administrators have allowed anti-Semitism to go unchecked. For years, we have suffered in silence. But we endure in silence no more,” a group of students at Friday’s meeting said in a joint statement to the regents.

Not exactly a “safe space” at UCI.

Sounds like hate speech to me. These students need to be kicked out of school. Otherwise, the university is accepting of hate speech.

Basically they’re the mobs of angry rednecks screaming at James Meredith.

Trying to imagine what the response would be if a Black female were chased into a campus building by a group of Whites shouting anti-Black epithets.

The Jewish student should sue the university and the specific student group for failure to protect civil rights, hate crimes, etc.

Despite numerous incidents like this one, most of my co-religionists still have their heads stuck...in the sand (I’m being REAL charitable here, folks).

If they really want to project their racism, they should start calling Jews Nazi’s.

I wonder how much longer before people realize that the only way to deal with these Leftist and Islamofascist animals is to beat them to a bloody pulp?

Rolling over on your back and taking it like a cur dog is not “Christian,” or “civilized,” it is stupid. It’s way past time to wake the **** up.

So every student is entitled to their “safe space” except if they’re Jewish. It’s time the federal Government cracked down on these neo-nazis.

I didn’t know this and I live here. It didn’t get much press. Can you imagine if a transgender student were stopped from attending a transgender film? A black student were stopped from attending a film about the African American experience? A Muslim were stopped from attending a pro-Palestinian film????????

This is inexcusable.

So this is not being prosecuted? Is the University involved? Was it campus police or city of Irvine police?

So, what is the difference between this mob of Jew haters and the Hitler Youth back in the 1930-1940 era?
