A baker’s dozen of anti-Semitism at UC Irvine

Posted by Brad A. Greenberg

Not pleased by the credence given to recent statement  by five Jewish student leaders that UC Irvine’s administration is not to blame for the campus’ anti-Semitic atmosphere,  the Red County blog took issue with a recent report in the OC Register (there was another last year) stating all is well—which we know that, at least when students are calling for the destruction of Israel, it is not. Here is the treatment Red County says a Jewish student could to face.

1. The desecration of Israeli flags with swastikas and blood stains.

2. Intimidation and abuse while practicing student journalism and protest during Muslim Student Union events. This has included the use photo capture of the faces of Jewish or pro-Israeli students for the use of future intimidation; pushing, shoving, and shouting in the faces of Jewish or pro-Israeli students; and assault with hurtful objects such as rocks by Muslim Student Union Members.

3. Muslim speakers who express their desire for Israel to be wiped off the map.

4. Muslim speakers who express their hatred towards Jews involved in politics.

5. Muslim speakers who blame Jews on undesirable social conditions.

6. Muslim speakers who tell Jews to get out of their ghettos.

7. Muslim speakers who boast that Jews are afraid to get on buses in Israel out of fear of the   “freedom fighters” who strap bombs to their bodies.

8. Muslim speakers who assert that “Jews are the new Nazis.”

9. Depictions of Jews with hooked noses in exhibits.

10. Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty meant to demonize Jews.

11. The intimidation of Jewish and pro-Israeli speakers by members of the Muslim Student Union.

12. Programs hosted by the Muslim Student Union titled: “Holocaust in the Holyland,” “Genocide in Gaza,” and “Israel: The 4th Reich.”

13. Posters on campus suggesting that Israeli soldiers target Arab children to shoot on sight.

To be sure, the students’ press release did not state anti-Semitism was a myth at UCI. What it said was, despite the visits by Amir Abdel Malik Ali and Mohammed Al-Asi, pro-Israel students feel safe and Jewish life is thriving. This was a point three of the signatories emphasized to me at the Hillel Summit in Washington that ended the day they issued the release—the same Hillel event at which UCI Chancellor Michael Drake was cornered by ZOA’s Mort Klein, whose question—roughly, “Why don’t you condemn the anti-Semitic speakers who come to your campus”—Drake is responding to below.

The Chancellor is either complicit in this or he has lost control of his campus.  Parents and other Jewish leaders need to stand up and stop this spread of hatred and anti-semitism on campus, much of this funded and pushed by arab students and their sponsoring governments. By not stopping this, we are allowing our own children to be intimidated, threatened and injured by foreign governments.

Hate speech continues at UCI as we speak. This week, the MSU is conducting a series of events called Israel Politics of Genocide. This is the same campus where Imam Mohammed al-Asi stated a few years back,

“Jews are low-life ghetto-dwellers”  “You can take the Jew out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the Jew”

I know. I have taught at uci for 11 years. I witness these events.

This is ridiculous, where is the ADL?  Why are these ” students” not expelled and deported? Where is our leadership?

Comment by concerned parent on 5/14/09 at 3:09 am

Yes, where is the adl and many other Jewish organizations? Unfortunately, the Jewish community is divided. Some organizations don’t see the hate speech, others are too connected to the university, and others
just don’t want to get involved. It is frustrating because the msu and their allies are united.

You will never see the students expelled. Deported? Most of them are American citizens.

I don’t know about UCI, but many of the UCSB and UCLA msu are foreign students, here on Saudi funded programs, and so are professors who run the middle east studies program.  they are here for the purpose to spread propaganda against Israel.

Well, i have to say it is demoralizing to see an israeli flag defaced on my campus, but they are entitle to do so by right this country secures for us.

Secondly, Michael Drake has not done anything to help this situation, hereby ordaining that the campus supports these events, as far as the propaganda against israel, well, in the end which is the american public going to listen, a country that gives all races and all peoples the same rights regardless of gender, or a culture that considers women as inferior?
