Jewish students and faculty at UC Santa Cruz were subject this year to several antisemitic and racist attacks. In three separate instances, the campus network was hacked, causing printers to spew out fliers adorned with swastikas; phrases such as “k*** demon” and the claim that “f***-ing Jews control the f***ing media.” In addition, activist groups hold annual Israel Apartheid Week events. Five UCSC departments co-sponsored, with the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a lecture in which Israel was accused of ethnic cleansing. Late last year, an event held to express solidarity with Israeli victims of terrorism was interrupted by SJP students staging a "die-in" and justifying violence against Jews with signs reading, “Resistance is not terrorism.” (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
