Violence erupts at UC BERKELEY. Violent protesters assault, Jewish students, scream, dirty, Jew, spit in their faces, break windows, and chanted to Globalize the Intifada
Jewish students do NOT feel safe:

On a personal note, my niece is leaving the country because she can no longer go to University and feel safe.

Where is the media follow-up on that.

(54,901 posts)Like apartheid, genocide, colonialism, and several other words, we can add "civil" to the ever-growing list of words these bigots/enablers/propagandists, do NOT understand or misuse! No doubt several court Jews were lined up to provide cover.
Biophilic
(4,904 posts)Obviously, a lot of help from trolls and Russia, but there also must have been some underground feelings about this for some time. We are no more advanced than people in the Middle Ages and no better than Germans in the 30s. I am really appalled by the antisemitism.

(17,757 posts)is amazing to me. I would just suggest that you compare the damage being done on campus with the damage being done in Gaza, then decide who is "over the top." I damn violence against Jews, but I don't condone Israeli violence against Palestinian citizens either. I am funny like that, I value all human life.

And if your are trying to distinguish between anti Israel and antisemitism, please!
Chainfire
(17,757 posts)If you disagree with that, don't talk about my "hatred" argue with what I said. I think that your proposition that one can not be both anti the actions of the Isreali government without being anti-Semetic is false.
Richard D
(9,404 posts)We're supposed to be polite, so I will not say what I want to say.
Please ask yourself the question: Who the fuck started this "war," and why the fuck do you put war into quotation marks?
By asking the question, you automatically assume that Israel does not have 1. the right to defend itself and 2. the mandate to get the hostages released.
I'm sorry, your antisemitism is oozing out all over the post.
brush
(57,943 posts)but Israel does not have the right to over-retaliate to the extent of having killed 30,000 plus and counting Palestiniians vs the 1200 Israelis killed on Oct. 7.
That ratio amounts to 22 Palestinian lives to 1 Israeli life. Are you good with that?
I have to say THAT IS OVER RETALIATION.
When is Israel going to get rid of warmonger Netanyaku.
Why just TODAY 104 starving Palestinians were killed by IDF forces when they swarmed around a food truck. The IDF forces, apparently feeling threatened, opened fire on the starving people. Turn on your TV, it's all over the news today.
Israel needs to get rid of warmonger Netanyahu and maybe these tragic incidents don't happen to add to the already outrageous amount of over-retaliation done by Netanyahu's IDF.
And please, don't accuse me of antisemitism because I point out obvious over-retaliation.
Richard D
(9,404 posts)In assuming that it is retaliation. It isn't. It is and remains self-defense.
But assume it is retaliation for a second, putting aside the absurdity of that idea. Should Israel have then killed 1200 Palestinians and held hostage 130? Further, should they have gang-raped, sexually tortured, mutilated, burned and shot on the face the exact same number of civilians as Hamas did on Oct 7?
This is an existential fight. Hamas has promised that they will do it again and again and again . . .
Think about that. What would you be willing to do to protect your loved ones from being sexually tortured and gang raped and murdered?
I am good with the hostages being released. Hamas could do that and the killing would end. But they are not doing that.
In lieu of that, Hamas being utterly and totally destroyed sounds just fine.
Oh, by the way, was it excessive retaliation when the Allied forces killed over a million German citizens to bring down the Nazis:?
brush
(57,943 posts)should've re-enforced its border with Gaza. And what about the still unexplained, hours-long delay in respond to the Hamas attack by the IDF?
What's up with that? Aren't you curious why it took so long for the IDF to respond?
Get rid of the warmonger that is Netanyahu who wants the war to continue as long as possible so his corrupt ass doesn't go to jail.

(9,404 posts). . . the current propaganda. I haven't the bandwidth to get into it yet, but if you look, you'll find explanations,
Behind the Aegis
(54,901 posts)You are walking a VERY fine line. The OP is about anti-Semitism RELATED to "protests". DO NOT turn this into an anti-Israel rant, you have an ENTIRE DU board in which to do that. The Jewish Group is NOT for positing anti-Israel theories or blaming Israel or Jews for anti-Semitism.
This is your first and last warning.

(7,634 posts)I grew up in Saudi, and traveled all over the Middle East. What I was exposed to in the heart of Islam was horrifying public beheadings, religious violence, academics thrown into prison for life, beatings
These idiots know nothing of what they support. Islam is great at covering over their crimes while vilifying Jews, and these young dolts are buying it.
A few days with the mullahs would change their minds. The land is gorgeous Islam is a primitive madness.

If we keep our America in November - history will look at these anti-semitic attacks the same way we do people screaming at black University Integrators in the 1950's and 1960's.
My bad. Corrected.

(33,732 posts)I'm so sorry your niece is going through this. What is she? 18, 19, 20? As if SHE and she alone is responsible for what is going on in Gaza right now. This is the same old blood libel - just modernized.
The arrogance of evil says - the evil can be blase and blame the victim. They do it all of the time.

(9,404 posts)It is painful for them both. They do love their lives here but know enough about history to know that the chances of things getting bloody are pretty high.
I don't know her exact age, but around 20.
