Shocking To USA: University of California Law School Turning Against Israel and Pro-Israel Jewish Speakers

    University of California sinking to the level of anti-Semitics like a sinking ship at sea.                 

The University of California's Berkeley Law School's position against Jews is  a disgraceful step taken submerging themselves into anti-Semitism, like Germany did in the 1930s.  They seem to be under the control of Palestinians and their anti-Semitism of Israel. 

                                         

"The latest attack on Jews in American higher education was just launched by the UC Berkeley Law School’s branch of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). SJP convinced nine Law School organizations to adopt a by-law refusing to invite or sponsor any speaker who supports “Zionism, the apartheid state of Israel and the occupation of Palestine.”              

While Israel fights for preserving their right to exist on all fronts, the Palestinians are attacking them any which way they can;  by rockets, mortars and missiles daily on the border,  to stop people from doing business with them-harming their economy or trying to,  BDS attacks of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions;   to now hitting the  educational systems where it hurts, the Jewish professors who find employment throughout the world, so it's just not only UC that are crumbling to the threats of the Palestinians.  

"Zionism is of course the movement to support the self-determination of the Jewish people in its homeland, the state of Israel. Zionism is a primary tenet of Judaism, and it is supported by the overwhelming majority of Jews worldwide, including those in the United States."                  

In my street level apartment in Safed, 1981, waiting for my lift to arrive from the States.  I'm sitting on a Sachnut bed in my living room;  bars on window came with apartment-to prevent terrorists from entrance.                           

     The League of Nations plan for Israel-original plans                                                                                                                          

             Israel, 10% of the original plan but accepted by Israel, concluding that something was better than nothing.  The first Arab-Israel war resulted in Israel expanding its size by 37% beyond the designated 1947 UN partition lines.  Like all wars, Israel was attacked, then had to defend itself.  

I'm a Zionist.  My generation is one who was a teenager when Israel was re-born on May 14, 1948, and I've since then studied this event thoroughly.  Now I'm even a holder of dual citizenship, having lived in Haifa and Safed for over 5 years before returning to the US due to my son's serious health problems.  After studying our Jewish history thoroughly, I concluded that Israel was a must, and that it is through the good graces of Harry S. Truman that she was accepted into the League of Nations and the United Nations, but then the support has been slipping again into the old hands of anti-Semitic feelings.

Israel, the tiniest state in the Middle East, with Jordan being easier to spot-color brown. She may be the tiniest, but she attracts the most attention to the world.  World news abounds with attacks on her from UN today.  Others just trail along with this negativism.   

What makes me madder is that this contagion of being against Israel's right to exist has even soaked into the brains of some Jews who would rather listen to loshen hora than seek out the truth of accusations, which is what lawyers are supposed to do if they are defenders.   No matter who one is, they should be seekers of the truth and not carriers of the virus of hatred and jealousy.  

What makes me even madder than being madder than mad is that Judaism is a religion made up of 613 laws, and our people have turned to the profession of law many times.  We're almost a nation of lawyers.  No one is harder on Israel than its own people, making sure that they are doing the "fit and proper" thing in law.  And then comes along the world who thinks they know better.  

Good grief!  We've had in 2009, Col. Richard Kemp of the British army  speak up for our behaviors in war, yet there's this business of being against Zionists and Zionism that permeates the news.  Yes, it's odd that a country can redeem itself and come to life again after 2,000 years, but it happened.  It's possible.  It was do-able.  It happened. It has alarmed those who thought they were the greatest, and rid of the Jewish country.   

Our ancestors were good people, not bad like others have depicted.  Anti-Semitism started long ago, in that new vehicle called writing, traveling faster than oral anti-Semitism that was going on.    Israel was almost burned to death  with Jerusalem hit the hardest in the year 70 but appeared again in 1948, taking a fighting chance once again to survive, and survive it has done. Baruch haShem.
