GF reader “Zombie” took movies of the unbelievable events in San Francisco this weekend: Movies of the April 10, 2004 Rally in San Francisco.

Here, UC Berkeley Lecturer Hatem Bazian calls for an intifada in the United States:

“Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Well, we’ve been watching intifada in Palestine, we’ve been watching an uprising in Iraq, and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don’t have an intifada in this country? Because it seem[s] to me, that we are comfortable in where we are, watching CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all these mainstream... giving us a window to the world while the world is being managed from Washington, from New York, from every other place in here in San Francisco: Chevron, Bechtel, [Carlyle?] Group, Halliburton; every one of those lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving individuals are in our country and we’re sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it’s about time that we have an intifada in this country that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here. And we know every— They’re gonna say some Palestinian being too radical — well, you haven’t seen radicalism yet!”

Bring it on, subhumans! 80 million angry US Citizens with lots of guns would being down a world of hurt upon anyone who tries it. Believe it, ragheads.

[prophetic]

seems that this person should be detained as per the Patriot Act for inciting Terror.

[jackibutterfly]

And, who the heck is HE, to be calling for an intifada!!! I thought there was some kind of protocol or rules in Islam, where only a cleric or imam could call for one. Tell him to go stick it!

[ohioman]

I am looking forward to the day when the troops are called to go into Berkeley.

[kinghorse]

Anyone suggesting Islamic terms such as Jihad and Intifada in the USA ought to be subjected to horsewhipping. But that's just me.

[MNJohnnie]

Ok, Mr Hatefilled,

Why don't YOU go out and start your "Infitiada". Go out and lead by example. Go out right now today and throw rocks at the first police care you see. I sure others will be so inspired that they will follow YOUR example. Or are you like Bin Laden, Iran's Mullahs, and Yassir Arrafat all so willing to INCITE violence as long as your cowardly butt is kept out of the fight?

[areafiftyone]

How come we don’t have an intifada in this country

Because we are not a bunch of towelheads who live in the 14th Century. Try the democreeps - they go for that sort of thing.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Come get some. I'm armed and I'm serious.

[SouthernFreebird]

We seriously need to get these arabs out of our Country while we still can.

[RightWhale]

only a cleric or imam

They all are. It's not like there is a hierarchy with a central authority. It's a total amateur hour.

[Ol' Sox]

Mr. Hatefilled: How come we don’t have an intifada in this country?

"Ok, Mr Hatefilled, Why don't YOU go out and start your "Infitiada". Go out and lead by example!"

Mr. Hatefilled: "Well...uh...ya see...How about if we meet back here around 1:30 or so? I ...uh, gotta do some stuff first. If I'm a little late, you go ahead and I'll catch up".

. . .I'm getting there. . .why dont you start your intifada in my neighborhood pal.

[Stagerite]

we’re sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it’s about time that we have an intifada in this country that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here. And we know every— They’re gonna say some Palestinian being too radical — well, you haven’t seen radicalism yet!”

Is this creature saying: "Bring on the bombs"?

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks for that link to those videos of the hateful stupid Goobers ...

[UWhusky]

Fighting words are NOT protected by the Constitutional guarantee of free speech. I've heard similar rantings from professors here in Seattle.

[InsensitiveConservative]

Oh.. intifada. I thought you said empanada.

Great. Now I'm hungry.

[RinaseaofDs]

As much as I believe that discriminating against all middle easterners of islamic religion is only prudent, I think that armed US troops anywhere in the US is a very bad thing, even to joke about.

Starr Jones was joking about lobbing a WMD at Bush for pre-empting American Idol tonight, and the St. Petersburg Democratic Club just put an ad in the paper calling for Rumsfeld to be put up against a wall and shot.

What are we doing here? What happened to discourse?

Make no mistake, I believe that the current platform of the D party is actually treasonous, not just anti-American.

Don't look forward to a day when tanks or troops are going through any city in the US. I suspect you were being facetious, but we're all creeping so far in that direction.

[arly]

the really sad part is that he probably got a standing ovation from the scum at UC Beserkly

[Billthedrill]

There's fairly good reasons, actually. (1) People who throw rocks at other people in the street get shot; (2) there isn't a large, disaffected population to do the rock-throwing, and (3) there's nowhere for the rock-throwers to hide.

Academics are always in this "let's you and he fight" mode. In the real world people hit back.

[GOP_1900AD]

Therefore, I call for a counterintifada against leftists, Marxists, Nazis, anti semites, anti Westerners, Islamists, Ba'athists, anarchists and all other forces who wish to undermine the USA and the West, particularly such individuals who either work at or attend the University of California. As a life member of the UCSB Alumni, I hereby declare war against the vermin within. I call for a purge to commence at the earliest possible point.

[TexKat]

Is he locked away yet. The next sound that we should hear from him is a moaning sound (cause by whatever comes to the imagination)from a prison cell.

Hang um high.

[GOP_1900AD]

And I'll bet you thought COINTELPRO was a step too far? What will it take you to want to protect our own country from hard core revolutionaries who want to foment war within, so that we can easily be attacked from without?

[zygoat]

"They all are. It's not like there is a hierarchy with a central authority. It's a total amateur hour."


Yep. It's Arabian Idol. Unfortunately, Bush has preempted them.

[TexKat]

We seriously need to get these arabs out of our Country while we still can.

IslamicValley

[ZULU]

Precisely why the DemonRats want to disarm us, and to psychologically brainwash Americans into becoming pacifistic sheep - starting in grade school.

[freeangel]

Let me guess. If they picked this terrorist up-- it would be called racial profiling.

[samtheman]

I wonder if the 9/11 Circus Commission has any interest in actual threats against our country today... or if they're only interested in analyzing what George Bush had for breakfast on August 7 and how that proves he knew the whole thing was scheduled for September.

[dirtboy]

There's fairly good reasons, actually. (1) People who throw rocks at other people in the street get shot; (2) there isn't a large, disaffected population to do the rock-throwing, and (3) there's nowhere for the rock-throwers to hide.

And there's always (4) - the United States restrains Israel from full retaliation. But nobody restrains us from such, except when we have a Dem president and we restrain ourselves.

[7.62 x 51mm]

Precisely right, ZULU.

If we don't soon get control back of the schools and governments, we're going to lose to the liberal-demokkkRATs and the UN socialists, in 4-5 generations.

This current generation is badly-crippled in the blue states, and partially-crippled in some of the red states, already.

It's been going on for 50+ years, and the results are well evident in Europe, Australia and many other parts of the world.

[ohioman]

I was being partially facetious. OF course the troops entering Berkeley would only be after they had declared themselves as being an independent republic. As always, it is hard for me to eloquently express my disdain for those traitors in Berkeley and elsewhere.

[bc2]

You know what? I say maybe these idiots SHOULD have a little intafada over here... some of us will be nice enough to give these jihadis a taste of home if the ever get the inclination...

[Redbob]

"Hatem Bazian?"

Hate 'em?

C'mon, you're making these names up!

It's a possible violation of the "clear and present danger" restriction on the First Amendment...

UC Berkeley: A Safe Harbor For Hate

In support of a fellow protestor charged with felony assault on a police officer, Hatem gets to the real reason for the charges.

If you want to know where the pressure on the university [i.e., to prosecute the trespassers who were arrested] is coming from, look at the Jewish names on the school buildings." (UC Berkeley is a state institution whose main buildings are Sproul Hall, Dwinelle Hall and Wheeler Auditorium.

Students Express Anti-War Sentiments at Rally

Hatem Bazian, a UC Berkeley lecturer and director of the Al-Qalam Institute for Middle Eastern Studies, said the United States poses a greater threat to the world than Iraq because it is the only country in the world that has used nuclear arms in war.

"In this university and institutions of higher learning, we have been responsible for more weapons of mass destruction than Iraq has ever dreamed about," he said.

………………….

Students for Jihad

Reports of last year's exhortations to "kill the Jews" by organizers like UC Berkeley professor Hatem Bazian and featured guest of honor, Sami Al-Arian, currently in federal prison as a leading fundraiser for Islamic Jihad, have not slowed this event down a bit.

[Verginius Rufus]

Judging from his rhetoric, he may be calling for Democrats and other leftists of whatever ethnic background to start an intifada, not just Arabs or Muslims.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Hate 'em. What an appropriate name.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Naa, he is a member of a "protected minority" and as such he can do any damned thing he wants with impunity.

[John Lenin]

I would think the Patriot Act allows for this guys arrest, if not, there is something really, really wrong with it.

[Alia]

And among the many Hatem activities in 1995:

http://archive.dailycal.org/archive/10.18.95/regents.txt - snips:

Proposed by the Special Committee on Regents' Procedures, the change was suggested after September's board meeting was disrupted three times by student protesters and ultimately closed to the public, regents said yesterday.

During one of the day's speeches, UC Berkeley student Cesar Romero verbally threatened regent Ward Connerly, who initiated the move to eliminate university affirmative action programs.

Connerly commented on the proposal to cut back public comment time yesterday, saying, "It is long overdue."

"We have allowed ourselves to become a human punching bag," Connerly said. "I, as one regent, was among the leaders to say we should open up the meetings." Members of student groups who support affirmative action said yesterday the regents' proposal to limit public comment shows their efforts to pressure the board have been successful. "I think it just shows they are reacting to the political pressure that students have put to the board of regents," said Diversity in Action member Hatem Bazian.

http://archive.dailycal.org/archive/07.18.95/regents.txt

"If it is passed, people will close down California Street as symbolic of California's future and in an attempt to send a clear message of opposition to closing affirmative action," said graduate student Hatem Bazian, coordinator of UC Berkeley's affirmative action coalition.

For Bazian, who has addressed the regents during several past meetings, Wilson's attendance may make the difference for the board, which he feels is split 50-50 on the issue.

"However, any narrow-margin vote is sending a signal that the institution is split on the issue. The only way Wilson can declare a victory is by a solid vote," Bazian said, adding that students will request an injunction from the courts to keep the policies from being implemented if they pass.

Sounds good to me. I've got a dbl Canon® gunsafe full of Class III machinery and a couple of AR®-50 BMGs, just itching for some "reach out and touch me" target practice.

Problem is, the racist and bigoted PC Chief Moose-types will have every LEO running around looking for white, Christian, Conservative males in white pick-up trucks, as he did with the Beltway Shooters right here in my backyard (I'm in Penna, not MD), and the carnage will be horriffic.

[sgtbono2002]

If the people of the USA ever turn on these Muslims we wont be able to buy a gallon of gas or get a motel room on I-95 for the raghead bodies lying around. Their best move if they want to fight is to go home and do it, or just shut their stinking mouths and enjoy their lives in a free country.

[Alia]

And another tidbit here: http://archive.dailycal.org/archive/07.18.95/regents.txt

But --Here's "close" to the article I was looking for: Protest Against Regents Planned:

http://archive.dailycal.org/archive/09.14.95/regents.txt

Snips: Student protesters have threatened to disrupt the UC Board of Regents meeting today in San Francisco, the first since the vote to scrap affirmative action in July.

Although there is no time allotted on the agenda for discussing affirmative action, the UC Berkeley student group Diversity in Action (DIA) met last night to discuss plans to break up the meeting during the public comment period this morning.

"We are going to disrupt it, send a clear message that this was unacceptable, and send a clear message that we will disrupt every meeting from now on until they reverse their position," said DIA leader Hatem Bazian.

[Iron Matron]

What will it take you to want to protect our own country from hard core revolutionaries who want to foment war within, so that we can easily be attacked from without?

---

Every citizen has the RIGHT to protect themselves. All Citizens have the RIGHT to BEAR ARMS to protect their Country. We have the RIGHT to form militias to DEAL with terrorists inside this country. We DO NOT need the permission of the "government" (that WE THE PEOPLE SUPPORT), to bear arms againts our enemies.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it berklyites!

[hedgetrimmer]

Has anyone called the university? What is there response?
