A 'Jew exclusion zone' at UCLA

Beckett Law, a religious freedom advocacy group, has taken up the cause of three Jewish students at UCLA. The students claim that in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, they faced mounting antisemitism, which included barring them from access to areas of the campus. The students are also represented by Clement & Murphy, PLLC.

In the lawsuit, Frankel v. The Regents of the University of California, the plaintiffs claim that pro-Hamas/anti-Israel protesters set up barricades on the Los Angeles campus, effectively creating a "Jewish Exclusion Zone." Beckett Law states that after creating the encampment, protesters not only constructed barriers but also linked arms to prevent Jewish students from accessing the most popular areas on campus. They also imposed an ideological test, and those whose views were deemed to be sufficiently anti-Israel were issued wristbands and allowed to pass unmolested through the "checkpoints."

By contrast, Beckett law says that Jewish students were harassed and even assaulted. Law student Yitzchok Frankel was forced to find other ways to reach his classes because his route was blocked by the exclusion zone. Sophomore Joshua Ghayoum could not attend classes or study sessions because of the zone and the antisemitic activities on campus. Additionally, he was forced to listen to chants of "death to the Jews" and "death to Israel." Eden Shemuelian had trouble getting to her final exams because of the zones and had to listen to the vitriol from the encampment as she tried to study. These, said Beckett Law, are just three examples of the problems faced by Jewish students at UCLA.

Mark Rienzi, president and CEO of Becket, stated: ....

I’m surprised they weren’t made to wear a yellow star with the word “Jude”.

Wow. A reverse yellow star.

It’s astonishing, isn’t it? I believe that the newly arrived moslem horde in the past 60 years has driven most of the antisemitism.

As a student of the apocalypse, this growing hatred does not surprise me. It will only intensify in the last days. In this article the exclusion zone prefigures the time of “the mark” and its consequences. These anti-Israel progressives are the vanguard of what is to come.

In my opinion, the actions of the Moslems coincide with the actions of the German Nazis and should be removed totally....

If Reagan was the Governor he would send in the NG and put a stop to this sh*t immediately.

Now that the Left has embraced Judeophobia, they can no longer call us Nazis and Hitlerites.

There has always been at least a bit of anti-Jew animus in the U.S., but by and large Americans kept their feelings and opinions to themselves and treated Jews with the same courtesy and consideration as they showed everyone else. This has changed with the recent flood of non-white / non-European immigrants; Muslims in particular are not shy about proclaiming their many hatreds.

A number of the pro-Palestinian protestors are ethnic Jews, so calling this a "Jew Exclusion Zone" is a bit excessive.

Maybe it's a "Zionist Exclusion Zone", but even that might be a stretch as they might welcome heated debate but not attempts at instigating violence despite what a few in the crowd might be saying.

A Federal judge issued a preliminary injunction barring Jewish or pro-Israel students from being excluded from parts of the campus:

Guaranteed that their accreditation body (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) is now involved.

An SEC school should create a “Black exclusion zone” and watch UCLA whine.

Face it, Dems hate Jews.

Wake up you stupid Dem voting American jews.
