Stacey Zolt Hara was in her office in downtown San Francisco when a text from her 16-year-old daughter arrived: “I’m scared,” she wrote. Her classmates at Berkeley High School were preparing to leave their desks and file into the halls, part of a planned “walkout” to protest Israel. Like many Jewish students, she didn’t want to participate. It was October 18, 11 days after the Hamas invasion of southern Israel.
Zolt Hara told her daughter to wait in her classroom. She was trying to project calm. A public-relations executive, Zolt Hara had moved her family from Chicago to Berkeley six years earlier, hoping to find a community that shared her progressive values. Her family had developed a deep sense of belonging there.
But a moral fervor was sweeping over Berkeley High that morning. Around 10:30, the walkout began. Jewish parents traded panicked reports from their children. Zolt Hara heard that kids were chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a slogan that suggests the elimination of Israel. Rumors spread about other, less coy phrases shouted in the hallways, carrying intimations of violence. Jewish students were said to be in tears. Parents were texting one another ideas about where in the school their children could hide. Zolt Hara placed a call to the dean of students. By her own admission, she was hysterical. She says the dean hung up on her.

Round and round
What goes around, comes around
The author admits liberalism has become a death spiral but blames it on the extreme right.
It’s what Christ meant when he said, “Whem you do it to the least of thee, you do it for Me.”
He wasn’t referring to the least powerful in society, but the person you believe deserves the treatment in question.
That would mean, in this case, not supporting the Democrats because they promise to disembowel your enemy and favour you.
I think we may be at the end of an age, but eternity is bright enough. My intent in eternity is to make up for all my failings in this life.
Yes, I wish they would say who on the right is doing it. On the left, it’s loud and clear.
The Pali supporters have been crazy nuts for many decades.
They have been emboldened by BLM and Antifa rioting without consequences.
It’s not The Atlantic saying anything new. Anyone want to argue that Congress and the fed bureaucracy aren’t engaged in a ‘Jew Coup’? The only Jewish organizations I know that aren’t anti-American are the Zionist Organization of America and Agudath Israel of America. AIPAC, J-Street, OU, etc, are all Leftist peas in a pod, some worse than others.
Very few English-speaking traditional rabbis are brave enough to be honest; Mendel Kessin, Yosef Mizrachi, and, in the past, Avigdor Miller, as well as others less well-known, who have warned that the usual list of secular Jews are bringing disaster on American Jewry.
- transvestites
- homosexuals
- Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)
1950 - Beirut is the Paris of The Middle East
2020 - Paris is the Beirut of Europe
2024 - DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSIVITY (DEI)George Soros "Open Society:"
- open borders
- ban self-defense
- "color revolutions" leading to war
- government facilities and vehicles with no official markings
- widespread secrecy of government agencies and operations
Warning label on every plan and product of the left:
"We Don’t Bear Responsibility"
- DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Feb. 11, 2024
LEFTISTS HATE JEWS!!!
It is on the right, too. And it is frightening. Aa a County Supervisor I brought a resolution echoing a State Resolution in support of Israel’s right to defend herself. . I was shocked at what came from the public. And it is still going on from Republicans and even some who I used to call friend.
Then you are part of the problem. Did you say that when 9/11 happened? That we brought it on ourselves? Are you listening to yourself?
“… every single person in my professional circles who was a Berkeley graduate is JEWISH….”
************************************
Jeez, Jewish Asians? ;-)
“Jews using their religion as cover for devious things is actually correct”
Exactly,
and so does every other race, religion and creed on earth.
Reactionary non-thinking 101.
Fellow citizens being victim shamed while being domestically terrorized is abhorrent.
Anti-Semitism on the right is cracking jokes about Jews being tight with money.
Anti-Semitism on the Left is calling for Kristallnachts in America and a second Holocaust.
Dayum! I would have supported that resolution. 30 Americans were killed on October 7.
I stand by what I said. American Jews have for the most part voted solid Democrat.
They practically invited progressives who hate them to come into their house.
Is that what it is?
You harvest what you plant, Jews. Cry me a river (to the sea).
