UC Berkeley Allowing Anti-Semitism? Students Create “Jewish Free Zones”

Leftists cry racism louder than anyone.

According to them, only one group of people can actually be racist though, anyone who disagrees with them…

Why is it then, that woke progressive schools keep pushing racist ideologies?

The University of California, Berkeley, has stepped into some murky waters with their own casual racism.

Nine student groups at Berkeley have allegedly created “Jewish-free zones.”

All of these groups have forbidden pro-Israel speakers from their events.

A pro-Palestinian group on campus claims that it aims to halt the spread of Zionist beliefs:

“[The organizations] will not invite speakers that have expressed interest and continue to hold views, host, sponsor or promote events in support of Zionism, the apartheid state of Israel and the occupation of Palestine,” says the new bylaw written by the organization.

The New York Post reported

The University of California, Berkeley, was slammed Friday for creating “Jewish-free zones” after nine student groups adopted a rule forbidding pro-Israel speakers at events.

The controversial bylaw, updated for the new academic year by a pro-Palestinian group on campus, says it aims to stop the spread of Zionist beliefs.

“[The organizations] will not invite speakers that have expressed interest and continue to hold views, host, sponsor or promote events in support of Zionism, the apartheid state of Israel and the occupation of Palestine,” states the bylaw, written by the Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine.

A Berkeley co-op has created "White Free Zones" banning whites from common areas.

Parents, do not send your kids to Berkeley. History is very clear, it only gets worse from here.

UC Berkeley has created a “Jewish-Free Zone” on campus…

But sure I’m the “Nazi” for supporting Trump.

Our campuses openly embrace bigotry towards Jews, and apparently, that's just fine. https://t.co/wvPSnzLwji

Who are the real antisemites? The left has more in common with Nazi Germany than people are willing to see.https://t.co/lADzDYhvOf

The Jewish Journal provided more details:

If it wasn’t so frightening, one might be able to recognize the irony in the sight of campus progressives trying so hard to signal progressive virtue that they fall victim to a deeper moral shame.

Nine different law student groups at the University of California at Berkeley’s School of Law, my own alma mater, have begun this new academic year by amending bylaws to ensure that they will never invite any speakers that support Israel or Zionism. And these are not groups that represent only a small percentage of the student population. They include Women of Berkeley Law, Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Middle Eastern and North African Law Students Association, Law Students of African Descent and the Queer Caucus. Berkeley Law’s Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, a progressive Zionist, has observed that he himself would be banned under this standard, as would 90% of his Jewish students.

It is now a century since Jewish-free zones first spread to the San Francisco Bay Area (“No Dogs. No Jews”). Nevertheless, this move seems frightening and unexpected, like a bang on the door in the night.

Berkeley law students are not the first to exclude Zionists. At the State University of New York at New Paltz, activists drove two sexual assault victims out of a survivor group for being Zionists. At the University of Southern California, they drove Jewish student government vice president Rose Ritch out of office, threatening to “impeach [her] Zionist ass.” At Tufts, they tried to oust student judiciary committee member Max Price from the student government judiciary committee because of his support for Israel.

You would never have heard of UC Berkeley were it not for the unmatched accomplishment and brilliance of the hundreds and hundreds of great scholars -huge # of them Jewish – who came to the university during the postwar expansion. Free thinkers. Fought the loyalty oath. more…. https://t.co/jKE75zqdQ5

So, basically @BerkeleyLaw Dean Chemerinsky's response to "Jewish-Free Zones" is that "only a handful of student groups out of over 100 at Berkeley Law did this". Would he also be just as Ok if "only a handful" of student groups banned African-American, Muslim or gay speakers? pic.twitter.com/r1BAVgvCpa
