California's Brownshirt Anti-Semitism Comes to Vassar
American Thinker ^ | April 1, 2014 | Stella Paul

California is the lifestyle incubator of the nation. And now the trendy anti-Semitic thuggery that debuted at California’s public universities has metastasized across America, all the way to the elite halls of Vassar.

Before we discuss the fashionable pogrom that just took place on the Vassar campus where Jackie Kennedy once strolled in pearls, let’s look back at May 7, 2002. On that day, Professor Laurie Zoloth, Director of the Jewish Studies program at San Francisco State University, attended a “Peace in the Middle East” campus rally, where they prayed for peace in Israel. Wrote Zoloth:

“As soon as the community supporters left, the 50 students who remained praying in a minyan for the traditional afternoon prayers,were surrounded by a large, angry crowd of Palestinians and their supporters. But they were not calling for peace. They screamed at us to ‘go back to Russia’ and they screamed that they would kill us all, and other terrible things..."

“As the counter demonstrators poured into the plaza, screaming at the Jews to ‘Get out or we will kill you’ and ‘Hitler did not finish the job,’ I turned to the police and to every administrator I could find and asked them to remove the counter demonstrators from the Plaza, to maintain the separation of 100 feet that we had been promised. The police told me that they had been told not to arrest anyone, and that if they did, "it would start a riot." I told them that it already was a riot.”

Eventually, the terrified Jewish students gathered under the flag of Israel and were led by armed police guard back to the Hillel House...

May 7, 2002 turned out to be a grand day for Jew-haters, because things only got better from there.

May 7, 2002 turned out to be a grand day for Jew-haters, because things only got better from there. Threatening, harassing, intimidating and assaulting Jews is now a venerable tradition on California’s public campuses, protected by taxpayer-funded administrators and enshrined by public indifference.

Vassar is in New York... shouldn't the title say something about how Anti-Semitism in Vassar has become a tradition on California's campuses? otherwise, the above paragraph makes no sense...

Celebrate diversity.

Or we will kill you.

That pretty much sums up modern liberal progressivism

I never thought I would live to see a rise in Anti-Semetism in the USA. Now Democrats have something in common with the KKK. Sad day for America.

Reminds me of the disturbance reported at the Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee a few years back. ( http://www.jsonline.com/news/religion/92563384.html )

Lots to say about the American Thinker article, I’ll just let others do the talking. Some of it is not clear to me.

I had problems understanding what they were saying there as well, it seems they are saying that radical elements were first protected in California and now it has spread per these “Anti-Semitic” demonstrations.

But I also wondered as I read as in the other articles, if this was not mainly Palestinians, maybe a few other Muslims and Arabs protesting against Israel. To me, it appears more like that.

Maybe this kind of protecting anti-semitic demonstrations started in California but it is not real clear to me from the article.

Exactly, not only that, the Gay movement has been allied with the Anti-Israel movement, I think even some so-called Jewish gays.

Maybe something like this:

“Two women march in Tel Aviv’s June 2010 gay pride parade, holding a rainbow flag in support of Palestinian human rights. Many LGBT Palestinian Israelis boycott this annual parade because its participants don’t take a collective stand against all forms of oppression—including the Occupation. / Oren Ziv (Active Stills)”

http://www.tikkun.org/nextgen/u-s-gay-rights-activists-stop-pinkwashing-palestinian-suffering (disclaimer on this website, it appears to be “Liberal” Israeli or Jewish but the story is there nonetheless), I think that is the term it has gotten, “Pink-Washing”.

This was brought up before, now I remember little of it.

KKK was founded by Democrats. They’ve always had a lot in common, not just “now”.

Thanks Trafalgar123.

Eventually the thugs from the various racist south of the border orgs and their jihadist allies will act to overthrow and probably summarily slaughter the useful idiots of the Demagogic party who run the single party police state of the left coast, and as they die the idiots will wonder why no one lifts a finger to help them.

The key will be to let the racist thugs do half the job, and when it looks like they’re done, we’ll do the other half.

JEWS VOTE MOSTLY DEMOCRAT. I cannot understand why a race of people would idolize those that want their demise.
