These Guys Must Be Berkeley Grads
Sometimes you have to wonder if certain people take the concept of a free country and free speech a tad too far. Isn't this rally just sickening though? At least thanks to free speech, we know who the enemies are and what they look like. And this kind of stuff proves to me at least: TO BE PRO-PALESTINIAN IS TO BE ANTI-WEST
Getting back to Berkeley. I don't think there is a high level education institution that creeps me out more. Arab instructors with their blatant anti-semitism, actually get to teach "America's" young.
This guy pretty much sums up Berkeley:
"Encountering anti-Semitism and intolerance at the bastion of free speech and liberalism—UC-Berkeley—was shocking to me. Having attended a very diverse public high school in San Francisco, my friends were from all racial and socio-economic backgrounds, and being in a family of Holocaust survivors taught me the supreme importance of tolerance and respect. When I came to UC-Berkeley, I was uncomfortable because I saw self-segregation and hatred running rampant. I wanted to change this, so I ran for and won a seat on the student government senate. To my astonishment, what I found among the leaders of Berkeley was even worse; I encountered anti-Semitic rhetoric and race baiting politics. This at Berkeley?" More
Here is a first hand account of how vile Berkeley is.
Here are some nothworthy anti-semitic incidents that happened at American Colleges from 2002-2004. Notice how many happened at Berkeley.
I know Berkeley isn't completely full of anti-Western, terrorist sympathizing pieces of crap and Dhimmis, so my apologies to those who are not.

ReplyDeleteHere is your link for anyone else to see.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're pretty similar to the schmucks we have here in Montreal at Concordia. Google 'SPHR Netanyahu Concordia' ... you should get results about how retarded these kids are. The movement for "Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights" did everything but throw stones at Netanyahu when he came to give a speech. I didn't know there was solidarity for the right to riot?
ReplyDeleteNote also that a right-leaning prof at Harvard was prevented getting tenure...
I think it's a stretch to say being pro-palestinian is to be anti-West, though.

Somehow I am shocked theat anyone would be shocked that anti-Semitism is still alive and well.
ReplyDeleteThe real shocker is the level of the rhetoric which matches the hyperbolic discource of partisan politics.
Stop the world, I want to get off!

GLO, LOL. You know what I mean, since the PLO/Hamas runs the show and makes the decisions for the Palestinians, they basically represent the Palestinians ideology which is to throw all the Jews into the sea, and the only state they will accept is a Jew free one.
ReplyDeleteIt does not surprise me that one of the most "liberal" instituions in the country is so blatatnly anti-jewish. Since liberalism lost its mind and its heart during the Reagan years it's steadily becoming more and more reprehensibe over time- and its disease is filtering down to all levels of education.
ReplyDeleteI posted a link on your board acknowledging a Jewish presence at that school.
ReplyDeleteThere is anti-semitism there like everywhere else??????
ReplyDeleteI linked college anti-semitism incidents from 2002 and 2004. Berkeley was mentioned a lot. 99%+ colleges were not mentioned.
Steve, you choose to totally ignore the links provided in my post. Buzz off.
ReplyDeleteI went to Berkeley a few years ago and I didn't see the level of anti-semitism described in your links, BEAJ, but then again I was in the sciences. A lot of the faculty is Jewish, and there's also Jewish greek life. Mr. Pipes is telling the truth Im sure, but I think there's some stuff he hasn't taken into account when forming his conclusion. It's a really top school, and it has really strong academics. Most students are very happy there.
ReplyDeleteAnd lya, I think steve was trying to say that Berkeley's not racist, instead of saying BEAJ is racist. or did I read it wrong ???
Hi Bacon Eating Atheist Jew,
ReplyDeleteSteve mentioned that in general Jews in UC Berkeley enjoy a pleasant and welcoming environment with many outlets, programs, centers, and groups including if I may add sororities and fraternities (AEPi) that embrace the Jewish community. I can't help but see you did not really respond to his point: How does a campus prominent for anti-Semitism elect a Jewish student body president (which is probably like the ultimate popularity contest and an important leader position)?
I saw you posted these links to support your conclusion on the school, but you omitted a lot of facts that contradict what you say too it seems. How do you address those contradictions to your points? There's a huge Jewish community in Berkeley, do you contend that the campus is hostile to them despite the information Steve provided? Just curious on your thoughts on that.
Rockie, Steve has been accusing me of racism for a little while now, he doesn't address the points I make, and just deflects and/or goes on a tangent.
ReplyDeletePoint is that Berkeley seems to have a lot more anti-semitism associated with it than most colleges.
Jennie, I just checked out who Misha ran against. Renita Chaney, a black girl who is outspoken against Arabs in Darfur. She also complains that Berkeley has a low black population in the student body.
Steve's friends were caught between a rock and a hard place on who to vote for. They probably didn't vote.
Even so, I didn't say Berekely has an anti-semitic, anti-American majority.
But from what I've read, Berkeley has more than it's share of Jew haters and terrorist sympathizers.
They missed one. In early May of 2002, an Orthodox Jew wearing a kippa was assaulted by muslims or by some who could pass for middle Eastern as he walked across the UC Berkeley campus.
