A Jewish group said Tuesday it will form a task force to investigate “a growing number of anti-Semitic incidents” at the University of California, Irvine.
The Hillel Foundation of Orange County said the task force will interview Jewish and non-Jewish students, professors, alumni, administration officials and religious leaders about their experiences during its year-long inquiry to “find out what is really happening as opposed to what is hearsay.”
“It’s not a witch hunt,” said Jeffrey Rips, the foundation’s executive director. “There’s a lot of people who are really concerned.”
The campus, about 30 miles south of Los Angeles, has a history of tension between Muslim and Jewish students that stretches back several years. Jewish students have complained that the school’s Muslim Student Union hosts guest speakers who support Hamas and Hezbollah and advocate the destruction of the Israeli state.
jew haters shouldnt have access to a pulpit. why do the young people allow them to speak?? they should be threatened and if necessary stopped.
