Anti-Israel Protesters Broke Windows, Breached UC-Berkeley Event With IDF Veteran
“Berkeley is on the wrong side of history and it’s not a safe place for Jews anymore.”
The event with Ron Bar Yosharfat, an IDF veteran, had to end when the anti-Israel dumbs breached the event. From The Daily Californian:
A joint Instagram post by Students Supporting Israel at Berkeley, or SSIB, and Berkeley Tikvah, who organized the event, said Bar-Yoshafat would address Israel’s “international legal challenges” and whether or not it is violating international law and the rules of wartime conduct.
The post adds that Bar-Yoshafat was to speak on how the IDF can better protect civilians, as well as issues of “perception and ideology” for Israel. A post from campus group Bears for Palestine urged students to protest the lecture, calling Bar-Yoshafat’s message “propaganda.”
During the protest, the group chanted messages like “Long live the intifada,” “Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to go” and “Killers on campus.” The crowd marched from Wheeler Hall at 6:00 p.m., to Zellerbach, where they were met by UCPD.
By 6:30 p.m, protestors had crowded side entrances to the building.
Officers struggled with the group at a side door of Zellerbach, one of them pushing a protester. UCPD officers stationed in Haas Pavilion moved towards the main entrance at 6:40 p.m.
Speakers gave closing remarks, thanking protesters and emphasizing how the event was shut down despite a last-minute location change from Wheeler to Zellerbach and UCPD presence.
“Justice is our demand and if we don’t get it we will shut it down,” said a speaker, echoed by protestors’ chants.

First offense, rusticate them from campus, online courses only. Second offense, trespass them and expel them.
I would say first offense instant expulsion with a police report filed against them with a request for charges to be brought.
Everyone here has very strong hate for what the University does to the mind.
Lets think without bias
A UC Berkley degree is extremely valuable in every field, and every student in Berkley is another student who is not accepted.
A Berkley degree is entry into the elite professions and class with very few exceptions. These extremists should not be part of the elite they should be convicted felons just like every single member of a conservative mob would be if they had targeted people for attack.
