Anti-Semitism Some Jewish students see threat to rights

with Israel, "that does not mean that any criticism of Israel is a
criticism of Jews," Jackson said. Photo: Paul Chinn, The Chronicle

Katherine Orr had just started her freshman year at UC Berkeley last
August when she was stunned to see five students in military fatigues
carrying what looked like rifles and stopping students at Sather Gate.
"They were asking people, 'Are you Jewish?' They were trying to be like
soldiers interrogating Palestinians along the border," Orr said. "They
were re-enacting what was happening on the West Bank."
To students who regard Israel as an essential Jewish homeland, this
event and others like it that are staged each year on University of
California campuses seem hostile, like poorly concealed anti-Semitism -
especially when the Israeli flag with its Star of David is paired with a
Nazi swastika, says a new report by a UC fact-finding team seeking to
understand Jewish students' experiences.
But to students who oppose Israeli policies and support such sensational
protest methods, some recommendations by the team - that UC adopt a
definition of anti-Semitism, prohibit hate speech and consider banning
campus sponsorship of offensive activities - have become a new subject
for protest.
More than 2,200 students, faculty and alumni - many of them Jewish -
have signed a petition asking UC President Mark Yudof to set aside the
report. Two letters sent last month to Yudof from Jewish students and
from Arab, Muslim and Palestinian students and their supporters made
similar points.
