Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

University of California Irvine: Angry mob screaming “F**k Israel, long live the Intifada” chases Jewish student

May 23, 2016 10:51 am By Robert Spencer

Jewish students are physically menaced by anti-Semitic Leftists and Islamic supremacists all over the country. Administrators, ideologically in line with the neo-Brownshirts, do little or nothing to rein them in.

“‘F**k Israel, long live the Intifada’ angry mob screams at Jewish UC student,” by Hannah Broad, Jerusalem Post, May 22, 2016:

Second-year Eliana Kopley was attempting to enter the showing of the Israeli documentary “Beneath the Helmet” about the IDF when a crowd of protesters physically obstructed her.

An angry anti-Israel mob at the University of California at Irvine chased a Jewish student into a building while chanting anti-Semitic epithets after she tried to attend a campus screening of an Israeli documentary last Wednesday, the Observer reported.

Second-year Eliana Kopley was attempting to enter the showing of the Israeli documentary “Beneath the Helmet” about the IDF when a crowd of protesters physically obstructed her and chased her into an adjacent building.

The angry mob proceeded to pound intimidatingly on the windows and doors while shouting “Long live the Intifada!” and “F**k Israel!”

Kopley called the police, who escorted her safely into the film screening amidst the angry rhetoric of the activists. In spite of arriving safely to the event, Kopley was overwhelmed by the trauma of the incident and became emotional.

In contrast to the Kopley’s response to the irate horde of protesters, the UC Irvine campus group Students for Justice in Palestine lauded the mob’s behavior and labeled their intimidation techniques a success.

Academic centers across the United States have seen an uptick in increasingly vehement anti-Israel sentiment, particularly in California.

In 2015, more than 30 organizations, including Jewish fraternity AEPI, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Zionist Organization of America wrote to University of California regent Bruce D. Varner in July, requesting that substantive measures be taken to combat rising anti-Semitism on UC-affiliated campuses….

    Typical of the leftist thought process where they do the opposite of what is good and true. Little do they realize that they are embracing Islam which WILL ultimately destroy them.
    Will UC Irving prosecute these “brown shirts” who deny others their freedom of choice?

      You can’t argue with stupidity or insanity. These people will beat you
      with their vast experience every time. Far left ideologues are violent,
      hysterical, vain, self-righteous, ignorant and immune to evidence – not
      a million miles from the islamic mindset itself. Yes, they will be devoured
      too. That’s too bad.

        “It isn’t fascism when we Cultural Marxists do it.”

      • Paul says

        May 23, 2016 at 1:17 pm

        “Cowards” and “Cultural Marxists” are exactly what they are.
        These ‘people’ are indoctrinated to hate Israel, Christianity,
        democracy, freedom of speech, the West, national borders,
        personal responsibility and accountability of any kind and they
        ruthlessly suppress any dissent. The ends always justify the means,
        no matter how morally repugnant and inhumane those methods may
        be. Their unnatural and ungodly ‘progressive’ideology is the ultimate
        and supersedes the preciousness of human life. So, when you see
        them demonstrating alongside islamists there really is no mystery
        to it at all.

        The traitorous left is allied with Islamists against the West; both groups are our enemies.

          May 23, 2016 at 5:27 pm

          I don’t make any distinction between them. It’s well and truly
          past the point where someone can claim that the former
          group are somehow “naive” or “ignorant”. I just don’t buy it.

    She should make sure the Campus Police created a Police Report, and she should make sure it’s acted upon.

    UC is a public, taxpayer supported system and both she and her parents should file whatever lawsuits are appropriate against not just UC Irvine, but against the UC Regents and the State of California.

    That problem will not be resolved until swift, aggressive action is taken against each and every party that has allowed it to persist.

    • Keys says

      May 23, 2016 at 12:09 pm

      What you say makes sense, PRCS. I would review security video footage,as well, to see exactly who the individuals were behind this intimidation and what connections these people have to other groups, and if any crimes were committed.

      We don’t need any Kristal Nachts here.

      • PRCS says

        May 23, 2016 at 5:19 pm

        Kristal Nacht.

        Yes, I imagine that is what they want.

    • Dirka Dirka says

      May 24, 2016 at 12:08 pm

      Sadly, there is no way she can make sure they act upon it. She can request they take a report. I can almost guarantee you they would not take a hate crime report. They will play it off saying these criminals were exercising their right under the 1st Amendment to protest.

        This is sad…where are we headed???

        • Dean says

          May 25, 2016 at 12:19 am

          I share the “we are we headed” sentiment but I am afraid we are already there and nothing less than extreme confrontations will change it, and serious reconsideration and changes in government funded education must take place.

  3. Mak says

    May 23, 2016 at 11:54 am

    So sad this happens in an institution of “higher learning.” One thing I tell people who argue with me about Palestine is that the Arabic language does not even have a “P”! It doesn’t. So they can’t even spell the name of their fake country in their supposed native language!

    Other questions I ask people who argue with me:

    * What was the Palestinian currency they use?
    * What was the legislative body of Palestine prior to the formation of the state of Israel?
    * Why do all of the electrical outlets in the Palestinian territories use the unique-to-Israel SI-32 connector?
    * Why are there news papers in Hebrew from that part of the world _prior_ to the formation of the state of Israel?

    The facts are simple: There is no such country as Palestine. There are some wandering desert arabs (Bedouin) and imported (many by the Brittish) Jordanian arabs. Palestine is a made up concept by Yasser Arabfat to incite terrorism. Plain and simple.

    It seems the original Balfour accords were never understood. There was a two-state solution back in 1947: Jordan was for the Arabs and Israel was for the Jews. So why can’t the Falsestinians just go to Jordan. That’s the Arab country for them.

    • Keys says

      May 23, 2016 at 12:11 pm

      Thanks for your informative post, Mak.

    • Charli Main says

      May 23, 2016 at 2:33 pm

      With respect Mak, Jordan is a Christian country, currently occupied by Muslim invaders from Saudi Arabia.

      • Mak says

        May 23, 2016 at 8:41 pm

        Absolutely Jordan should be Christian Arab land. All too often people forget where Christianity started: Syria, Egypt, Jordan. These were the birthplaces of Christianity. My post was specifically in reference to how the British carved up things during the formation of the state of Israel.

        The further back in time you go the bleaker things look for the “Palestinian cause” because it is a sham that isn’t built on a single fact. But even the most recent, completely documented, post-WW2 treaties lay claim to the state of Israel as the Jewish state. The British implied that Jordan was to be where those who didn’t want to live in Israel go. Not Gaza or the west bank. I wish the British had sent them back to Saudi Arabia and made a safe haven for Arab Christians (they need it just like Jews need Israel!)

        In fact one must really study very early Islam. It spread by the sword and didn’t have an indigenous land. Mohammed slaughtered pagans, Jews, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists among others. He even slaughtered people of his own tribe.

        Islam has run out its clock on changing its ways as other religions and belief systems have.

    May 23, 2016 at 11:59 am

    The freedom to kill all Jews is not a protected free speech right, it is an Islamic command. Incitement to genocide is war crime and should at a minimum result in expulsion from college.

    • Westman says

      May 23, 2016 at 12:54 pm

      I tend to agree. The Regents should adopt a policy of expulsion for students participating in intimidating behavior. This is a form of bullying. There should be rules for behavior that exclude activities that bring repute upon the California campuses. It’s time for UC Davis to become a university of higher learning instead of the Justice Warrior Training Center for all causes.

      Here is a story with some dark video and the students using the f-word liberally. Of course, the hate leader is calling out the chants while the rest repeat like dhimmis.

      http://observer.com/2016/05/jewish-woman-forced-to-hide-from-anti-israel-activists-at-uc-irvine/

      Too many American liberal Jews have some responsibility for making Jewish university students targets for anti-semitism by not supporting or defending Israel. Every time I read a Jewish-written article, sometimes even on JPost, I cannot but wonder how anyone could become so self-delusional. No one should be delusional about Islam’s plans for Jews or what, “free from the river to the sea”, really means.

      • Westman says

        May 23, 2016 at 12:57 pm

        Jewish-written article –> Jewish-written article defending BDS

          I didn’t read it that way. Did I miss something?

        • Westman says

          May 24, 2016 at 10:34 am

          Sorry, PRCS, I should have indicated that it was a correction to the post above.

          Here is something that really stands out as unusual; an anti-zionist BDS supporter, Norman finkelstein, saying BDS is a cult and will never gain traction because they won’t acknowledge the legal existance of Israel:

      • Dennis says

        May 24, 2016 at 5:28 am

        Yes I agree with you: many American Liberal Jews are also responsible for the persecution of their brothers. For the most part they are sticking their heads into the sands and hoping the problem will go away and like most Americans are too busy seeking status and popularity with their non-Jewish liberal neighbors. But this was true in Nazi Germany also. The intellectuals posited that the massacres of Jews would suddenly and miraculously stop.

        • Lorenzetta W. says

          May 24, 2016 at 11:51 pm

          Yes..it seems as if past human stains are resurfacing. I’m afraid cuz it feels like a silk glove…making a strong hold fist to harness us all. Is anybody safe…

    In contrast to the Kopley’s response to the irate horde of protesters, the UC Irvine campus group Students for Justice in Palestine lauded the mob’s behavior and labeled their intimidation techniques a success.

    “Justice for Palestine”, eh? What could possibly be more “just” than attacking a Jew (American, by the sound of it) in US soil, all while justifying it with Israel?

    The anti-Semitic Leftists and Islamic supremacists want to impose the Heckler’s Veto.

    -“A heckler’s veto is an IMPERMISSIBLE content-based RESTRICTION on speech where the speech is prohibited due to an ANTICIPATED DISORDERLY or VIOLENT reaction of the audience.”
    – definition of Justice D. Sloviter

    The ‘heckler’s veto’ is nothing but vigilante law or the law of a mob. No group attempting to administer a self-made law which vetoes the freedom of expression of others should be tolerated. The heckler’s veto is a crime against the majesty of the law which is the supreme dominant authority controlling the conduct of everyone, however exalted or high his power. The heckler’s veto is an attempt to overthrow free speech which is the law of the land, and in its place to set up mob law, lynch law, and to substitute lawlessness for the law enforcement which obtains in civilized countries.

    Sharia law contains wording that implicitly permits vigilantism by Muslims to suppress non-Islamic speech.

    U.C.I. is a cesspool of Islamic supremacist and Leftist Jew hatred.
    Not just Jew hatred wither but hatred for America and Western Civ are intertwined culturally and within the curriculum of the English and other “liberal” arts departments.

    Students shouldn’t use words they don’t understand. They shouldn’t brand one side bad without knowing the whole story.
    The right to protest is not the same as the right to riot.

    The leader was a man, but majority of the voices from the crowd were of females. It says a lot about us, men, losing control of female population, who is going to suffer the most with moslems in charge. After all, it is better to have four, then to be the fourth.
    BTW, female vote was instrumental in electing a green-lefty as the austrian president.

    Do not donate to any University or College who permits this travesty to go on. Write to Administration and tell them that you are no longer donating and tell them why. Also, do not hire any of the graduates of these schools unless they are Jewish.

    Sean Hannity ran a story on his Fox News program tonight, exposing what is happening with our US college students. These students were more than willing to knowingly, deliberately donate money to Hamas, for the purpose of blowing up Israeli hospitals, schools, and cafes. All in the name of “justice.” Watch, if you can bear it.

    Nazism is gaining ground on campus. The police will not suppress this, so it is time to take justice to the streets. Blood needs to flow. A few assassinations and some targeted, crippling beatings would be the place to start. Shank a few kidneys. Stomp in a few rib cages. Burn a few houses. Make them fear us.

    If you are calling for Intafada, then you are promoting terrorism — you are aiding and abetting terrorism. You should not only get kicked off campus. That’s the least of it. These people — students and teachers alike, and administrators who enable this behavior — need to be sued, arrested, and/or registered by the government as proto-terrorists. The hypocrisy of those who disagree with me on this can be easily surfaced (demonstrated) by asking if they also support the equal and parallel right of pro-Israel / pro-peace supporters to chase and threaten with murder BDS students on campus. The whole thing is a tragic joke — not only because students & teachers are promoting murder (and doing this on campus), but even worse, they have been tricked into supporting the wrong side. Pressuring Israel to make peace is useless since Israel already wants peace. The only way you can get peace is to pressure the Palestinians (BDS etc.).

    I would call this a macro aggression, but the cupcakes of the crazy mob are only concerned about the carefully selected micro aggressions upon their delicate feelings. Jews are too white and establishment to part of any victim group thus are an easy target of real victimizing. I guess a Jew is not pure enough if he sympathizes will all the rest of the group identity crap. Simple world of cherished victims and oppressed versus the evil enemy oppressors.
