From the Jerusalem Post:
A student has brought a federal civil rights lawsuit against the University of California, Berkeley, saying the university did not protect her from being attacked because she is Jewish.
Lawyers for Jessica Felber, 20, say the case, filed in US District Court in Oakland, Calif., on March 4 against the university, the regents of the University of California and their ranking officials, is the first of its kind.
Her suit alleges that Husam Zakharia, a fellow student and the head of Students for Justice in Palestine, rammed into her with a metal cart because of the pro-Israel sign she was holding during a pro-Israel demonstration on the Berkeley campus on March 5, 2010.
The rally, organized by the student Zionist group, Tikvah, was a counter to anti-Israel events being held that same week as part of Israel Apartheid Week…
The fact that there is an “Israel Apartheid Week” indicates just how rank the anti-Semitism is. You might as well have a “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” book club – this is Der Sturmer sort of Jew-baiting…and the university allows it to happen. And make no mistake about it, Berkeley is 100% absolutely liberal from top to bottom – these are liberals encouraging and allowing the rankest sort of race hatred.
And thus the descent of liberalism completely in to the gutter. There is no decency left over there…there will be mostly silence from liberals about this, with some actually defending the anti-Jewish attacks. Not one liberal, I’ll bet, will stand up and say that such a thing as “apartheid week” is inherently wrong and slanderous. They just won’t do it – because they are so far gone that they really don’t know where right and justice are.
