(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!!)

An anti-Israel student group disrupted a talk by renowned Holocaust scholar Prof Deborah Lipstadt about antisemitism.

Prof Lipstadt tweeted on Sunday that “three protesters positioned themselves next to me with signs attacking Israel,” despite her talk at the University of California, Berkeley on Thursday being about “antisemitism here and now. Not about Israel”.

The talk was held at Berkeley’s School of Law and dealt with how to identify contemporary antisemitism. “I want to thank the protestors for making my point more clearly than my words could,” Prof Lipstadt tweeted.

She was promoting her new book Anti-Semitism: Here and Now.

Typical. The idiot on the far right in the picture seems to be missing some numbers, not surprising though.

I have read Lipstadt's book. It is actually quite good, though I didn't care much for the format. It is written as if she is getting letters and writing letters back to the those asking her questions, but, if you have time, do read it.

1. Small error in your post

"The idiot on the far right in the picture seems to be missing some numbers"

"Numbers" is not how one spells "chromosomes".

3. Exactly.

They reduce anti-Semitism and the concerns of Jews to "Zionism" in order to feel OK about their bigotry.

4. Anti-semites using anti-Zionism to justify their anti-semitism?

That never happens!
