‘We’re wiped out’: Hostility has overwhelmed Berkeley council meetings since Oct. 7

By Aaron Levy-Wolins, Maya Mirsky | The Jewish News, March 28, 2024:

A phone was thrown. A microphone was hurled. Posters were raised to block people. Chanting and shouting followed every public commenter until the mayor was forced to call a recess.

“Our meetings have been horrendous since October,” said councilmember Susan Wengraf. “The meetings have been extremely difficult.”

Since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre in Israel and the start of the ongoing war, anti-Israel protesters have pressed the council to vote on a Gaza cease-fire resolution, continually disrupting meetings to make their point.

About 10 Israel supporters attended Tuesday night’s meeting and sat in the first two rows on one side of the meeting room. At least 30 anti-Israel protesters and cease-fire supporters were also present.

After each speaker, whether in person or on Zoom, protesters stood and waved large posters with photos of Gazans who have died since the war began. They shouted in unison that the dead were “murdered by Israel” and that the mayor and city council were “complicit” in genocide.

When Berkeley resident Susanne DeWitt, 89, took to the lectern to voice her concern about the rise in antisemitism in the U.S., the anti-Israel protesters yelled at her, with one person shouting, “Lies!” When another speaker said that her Jewish 7-year-old son had heard a group of kids calling Jews “stupid,” the same people smirked and scoffed in response.

The disruptions have been constant, said DeWitt, a Holocaust survivor from Germany who is a regular attendee at Berkeley’s twice-monthly meetings…..

Why is anti-Semitism allowed and anti-Black demonstrations are not and anti-White and anti-Asian DEI and AA became government policy? Just imagine what would happen if it were Blacks who were the targets not Jews.

The appeal of leftist thinking is that even morons can feel they are intellectually superior. The appeal of antisemitism is that the same morons can feel racially superior. Thus antisemitism and leftism are usually joined at the hip. Always remember what “Nazi” means – National Socialism

It’s the Muslims that’s starting all this trouble. Satin is controlling them. Before Obama brought them in we had a fairly good country. Satan is winning the war. We need divine intervention through out the world asap.

Having lived in CA, and in the vicinity U.C. Berkeley, I can honestly say nothing has changed since the free-speech movement era and the SDS, going back to the early 1960’s. It continues to be a hotbed for Alinskyism, only worse now.

With a tenacious grasp of the obvious: why weren’t the police called in to arrest these criminals? This isn’t freedom of speech, it’s violence.

These are all indoctrinated children from college campuses. The universities are the hot bed for antisemitic propaganda. Remember, any country that lost its jewish population, and gsve in to islamoNazism, was a completely failing country within a short period of time.
