University of California, Berkeley, administrators have offered no apology to Israeli lawyer Ran Bar-Yoshafat, whose speech to a campus Jewish group was abruptly canceled by the university after violent protesters choked a female student attendee, spit in another attendee’s face, and broke into the auditorium where Bar-Yoshafat waited onstage….more here.

According to reports, UC Berkeley protestors assaulted Jewish students, spat in their faces, and screamed "dirty Jew" amid calls to "globalize the intifada" at an event with an Israeli speaker.
Antisemitism is rising. Don't you dare look away.

The Berkeley schools have declared themselves a chapter of Hamas. Teachers and Administrators openly and quietly are going after Jewish teaches and students. This is reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
“The Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) “knowingly allowed its K-12 campuses to become viciously hostile environments for Jewish and Israeli students,” according to a copy of the complaint, filed with the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Parents who have signed onto the complaint say anti-Semitic incidents in the schools have “positively surged” since Hamas conducted its unprecedented Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.
“At BUSD, a virulent wave of anti-Semitism swept through its schools immediately following the massacre,” the complaint alleges. “Jewish and Israeli students have since been subjected to nonstop anti-Semitic bullying and harassment by their teachers and peers, in hallways, in classrooms, and in school yards.”
Reminder; Like the Nazi’s, Communists, using Karl Marx principles are also Jew haters—so this should be no surprise that the Communist city of Berkeley promotes Jew hating.
Berkeley Public Schools Hit With Federal Complaint Over ‘Severe and Persistent’ Anti-Semitic Bullying
Complaint alleges hallway chants of ‘kill the Jews’ and anti-Semitic teacher rants in support of Hamas
Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, 2/28/24 https://freebeacon.com/campus/
berkeley-public-schools-hit- with-federal-complaint-over- severe-and-persistent-anti- semitic-bullying/ A public school district in Berkeley, California, was hit with a federal complaint on Wednesday alleging it has failed to stem an escalating series of anti-Semitic incidents that include hallway chants of “kill the Jews” and anti-Semitic teacher rants in support of the Hamas terror group.
The Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) “knowingly allowed its K-12 campuses to become viciously hostile environments for Jewish and Israeli students,” according to a copy of the complaint, filed with the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Parents who have signed onto the complaint say anti-Semitic incidents in the schools have “positively surged” since Hamas conducted its unprecedented Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.
“At BUSD, a virulent wave of anti-Semitism swept through its schools immediately following the massacre,” the complaint alleges. “Jewish and Israeli students have since been subjected to nonstop anti-Semitic bullying and harassment by their teachers and peers, in hallways, in classrooms, and in school yards.”
The complaint, filed by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, follows a flurry of similar federal filings against many of America’s top universities, including Harvard, MIT, and University of Pennsylvania, among others. Like its college counterparts, the Berkeley school district stands accused of becoming a dangerous place for Jews and Israelis.
“Reported incidents of anti-Semitism include school ‘walkouts’ praising Hamas with students shouting ‘f— the Jews’ and ‘KKK,’” according to the complaint. “Teachers use class time to propagandize that the Hamas massacre was admirable ‘resistance.’ Following their teachers’ lead, students bully their Jewish peers and deride their physical appearance.”
Berkeley Unified did not respond to a request for comment.
Parents have reported this behavior to school administrators, the complaint says, but the district “has done nothing to address, much less curtail, the hostile environment that has plagued BUSD for over four months.”
The ADL and Brandeis Center are asking the federal government to open a formal probe into the school district to determine if the Jewish population’s civil rights are being violated.
Anti-Semitism is allegedly “normalized throughout BUSD. And teachers have responded with threats.”
In one case, a teacher approached a parent who had complained and said, “I know who you are, I know who your f—ing wife is and I know where you live,” according to testimony included in the federal filing.
Perhaps taking a cue from their instructors, students have harassed their Jewish classmates, telling them, “it is excellent what Hamas did to Israel” and “you have a big nose because you are a stupid Jew,” according to incidents relayed in the complaint.
“While Berkeley Unified School District plasters its buildings with ‘United Against Hate’ posters, Jewish hate is ignored,” said Berkeley Unified parent Ilana Pearlman.
In the wake of Hamas’s attack on Israel, Berkeley Unified teachers and administrators have allegedly staged walkouts “denigrating Israelis and calling for the elimination of Jews.”
“Teachers, staff, and administrators,” the complaint states, “have participated in and encouraged students to join walkouts, depriving Jewish and Israeli students of a safe place to learn and all students of instruction.” In some cases, these events have taken place during school hours.
In another case cited in the complaint, an unnamed art teacher “spent significant class time imposing his anti-Semitic views on students by showing them violent pro-Hamas videos, projecting anti-Israel and anti-Semitic images during class.” This includes an image of a fist holding a Palestinian flag punching through a Star of David.
The complaint outlines other similar incidents, including anti-Semitic harassment, that has left Jewish students shaken and scared about going to school each day.
“The Berkeley public school district is just one of many districts in California and other states that are experiencing an extreme wave of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic language and incidents in the classroom and the schoolyard,” said Rachel Lerman, vice chair and general counsel for the Brandeis Center. “Since October 7, there have been continual anti-Israel rallies, taking kids off campus without parent permission, where students are provided with signs and permitted to call for the extermination of Zionists and Jews. Students feel free to engage in anti-Semitic speech and bully their Jewish classmates because a number of their teachers tolerate and even encourage it. Meanwhile the administration does nothing in the face of widespread parent complaints.”

Never Again is here, now.
Many people like to conjecture what they would have done to stop the rise of Nazis in Germany. Well, the Nazis are back, right here in America, stomping on free speech and Jews just like their forefathers.
What are you prepared to do about it?

All Jewish people must arm themselves and begin by learning to use firearms. Be ready to kill any and all anti-Semites they interact with. No quarter given! I belong to a Jewish gun club and have been with them for many years and our slogan is “Never Again!!!!” Jews have been victims for far too long. Bring back the JDL for starts. No one would dare to behave like this towards Blacks would they? For starts all Jews and Jewish organizations must quit the dem party.

“Their democracy” requires chaos in order to slam its boot down on all our necks via martial law. In addition to their chaos, they refuse to have real, serious conversations about what we are currently seeing and experiencing. That leaves just one alternative, the one they seek.

I Googled muslem and could not find anything -please elaborate what you mean; “A ‘Muslim’ in Arabic means ‘one who gives himself to God,’ and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast a ‘Moslem’ in Arabic means ‘one who is evil and unjust’ when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, ‘Mozlem’ with a z.” A rose by any other name…

SUE Berkley immediately and go to another school. Bankrupt the commie school and destroy it and its administration and teachers. NEVER AGAIN is not just a slogan – make anti-Semitism too costly to exist either in money or in living. Self defense is a right so learn how to use firearms and learn judo and karate. They would never act this way to Blacks would they? Reality check – the dem party is anti-Semitic. Model American Jews after Israeli ones.

Berkely itself is a lost cause – the mayor, Jesse Arreguín, and the City Council is hard left, and that is not going to change.
Nevertheless, all instances of assault, like the one described here, must be reported to local law enforcement.
There is no recourse other than to sue the school district in federal court – and to make other educational arrangements.
Jews cannot continue to put their children at risk in these schools.

In one case, a teacher approached a parent who had complained and said, “I know who you are, I know who your f—ing wife is and I know where you live,” according to testimony included in the federal filing. I take that as a threat. Therefore I f@ck him up right then and there. My heart weeps for the Jewish people.

We must defend the Jews in our Country and in Israel! These Hamas Terrorist supporters will eventually come after the Christians and ‘Anyone else’ who does not support these monsters. Remember; An Arab Muslim stated to a group of us when we were in Granada Spain (a conclave of Muslims), that they are going to conquer Spain and, that they ‘Will Conquer America…’ that they were already coming in through the Mexican & Canadian border and coming here for decades. Folks; How do you think these terrorists conquered the Middle East? By raping, killing and robbing and that’s the same plan they have for America! These Terrorists have already conquered Europe! This coming election is ‘crucial’ for our existence as a ‘Democratic Republic.’
