A Los Angeles federal district court ordered the University of California, Los Angeles, to stop allowing and assisting in self-described pro-Palestinian activists’ creation of what amount to Jew-free zones on campus, holding that the university may not offer classes if Jewish students are prohibited from participating in the programming.
Those who occupied encampments on the university’s property disallowed Jews from passing through the quad unless they would disavow Israel and, by extension, their Jewish faith. UCLA’s position had been that the encampments preventing Jewish students from accessing certain areas of campus were not its responsibility.
Despite that contention, the university erected metal barriers

Good to see an injunction, absolutely insane that such a thing is needed. But who at UCLA has been fired? I’m guessing no one. So they can discriminate against, threaten and harass Jews, risking only that - months later - a judge will tell them to stop. And even if monetary damages were to be awarded, they’ll just be paid out of the school’s slush funds, no personal accountability for such horrendous actions.

If they allow it they are just as guilty as the perps.
Our colleges these days are turning into un-American training camps.

OK, UCLA, put your money where your mouth is.
Return all donations, endowments etc that have come from Jews and/or Jewish organizations that you have received in the past 10 years.
Note to Jews and Jewish organizations: Don't send money etc to UCLA.

Effectively, UCLA has no administration running the campus since whoever is sitting in the president’s or dean’s chair ceded his/her responsibilities to a bunch of terrorist thugs.

#3 is correct. This is how bad things start...first with institutions discriminating like this then it expands to worse things than just anti-antisemitism. It eventually leads to violence.

Unfortunately Jews will continue to support UCLA. They will also continue to vote democrat in California. I truly don't understand it

Shoulda shut down the University in its entirety until such time as the free association and practice of religion is GUARANTEED on campus!

Never again...doesn't mean anything to these people...and it's time for the jewish community to fight back...it makes me wonder if Bibi was right about the illegal aliens who crossed the southern border were in fact a large number of Hamas terrorist that are now demonstrating at the universities and at campaign events to make it look like the students are in favor of restrictions for jews...

Why are they "activists" on the left and "rioters" on the right? Totally objective.

So few Jews in the world. Currently about 15.7 million Jews left in the world, and so many anti Semites. Why? What are the world and anti Semites afraid of jealous and envious about the small number of Jews?
More than a billion Chinese.
More than a billion Muslims,
More than a billion Africans.
And they all hate a very small number of Jews
Shameful, cowardly, racist and disgusting.
Anti Semites are cowardly and racist scum

America is supposed to be freedom for all, that includes college campuses. That's a problem with the judge that the democrats put into place. Shakespear said to have a revolution kill all the lawyers first. Democrats didn't kill the lawyers, they just put to progressive (socialist) lawyers on the bench.
