Tell me again how the left isn’t anti-Semitic? If you are too clueless to see if from members of Congress like “The Squad” here is another fine example. Nine left wing law groups at UC Berkeley, the so called “free speech” school during the hippie movement has created what they call “Jew Free Zones” at the college and will not invite any speakers to the campus they consider “Zionists”.
Of course, Jew free zones are really nothing new to San Francisco. The so called liberal paradise were you can poop or shoot up in the street had “Jew Free Zones” back in the early 1900s too.
Oh and guess what? Your tax dollars are funding all this too.
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.
These exclusions reflect the changing face of campus antisemitism. The highest profile incidents are no longer just about toxic speech, which poisons the campus environment.
Now anti-Zionist groups target Jewish Americans directly.
