Incident comes two days after the Associated Students of UC Davis passed an advisory resolution asking the regents participate in the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
Students at a UC Davis-affiliated Jewish fraternity house awoke Saturday morning to find two large swastikas spray painted onto their building.
Nathaniel Bernhard, vice president of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, said the vandalism took place between 3 and 9 a.m. Saturday. He condemned the action, saying the hate crime threatened to rekindle race tensions at UC Davis. The fraternity house is located off-campus.
“Jewish people still can’t feel safe on their own campuses and in their own houses,” Bernhard said. “Anti-Semitism still exists today. It’s not a fairy tale.”

Thanks Darleen. Ima link this over at my blog!
What is it about fascism and Jew-hatred? Is it just that progressives really love them some Hitler, or what? We know they used to love him until he invaded Russia.
Why any Jew (or anyone else for that matter) would voluntarily disarm is beyond me, and yet they continue to overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
Marx was a Jew hater around long before 20th century fascism was born. Martin Luther was another long before Marx.
Of course. Jew-hatred has been around for thousands of years. I was just wondering why fascists are so into it.
Marx makes for an authoritative antecedent.
Interesting that when I read about the vandalism of a Jewish location I don’t assume that the Jews did it themselves to “raise awareness” about something.
That’s about the only context where false-flag ops don’t happen much.
Too many real ones.
Seattle did a great job of giving the game away to the Cheatriots.
the butler did it!
sdferr, Luther’s antisemitism was predicated upon fault “substitution theology.” The modern, conservative Lutheran synods, including the German one have repudiated his anti-Jewish views.

The frat needs to go after the student association for creating a hostile environment.
And threaten legal action against the University if the Associated Students of UC Davis aren’t sanctioned by the administration, to show that they mean it.
Ernst has an excellent suggestion. Short of that, someone could anonymously print a bunch of brown T-Shirts with the ASUC logo on the chest and a NAZI symbol on the sleeve, and distribute them around campus.
obama sets the tone for this sort of thing with all his genocidal death to israel fantasies and such
Ernst, that’s the recipe best suited for these sorts of pushback. Saul Alinsky hisself would have to chagrin and smile.
‘feets, you align with this ?
i haven’t set up my tv yet I’m still thinking what i wanna do
i kinda want something like this for to use as a tv stand
but maybe i should at least look at just getting maybe a dolly for a lot less money since the new place is almost for sure a more or less temporary situation
i think something like this would accomplish what I’m looking for at like less than a tenth of the price
i just wanna be able to roll the stupid tv away when I’m not using it, which will probably be a lot of the time cause of i’m reading more now in the evenings – it’s a concomitant to the reading i do on the train i guess
“Marx was a Jew hater around long before 20th century fascism was born. Martin Luther was another long before Marx.”
I’ve shocked many a polemicist asking me about Luther’s letter about the Jews by saying it makes me want to kick him right in his stupid throat. Luther was brave and had some good points and was probably guided in some of his work but he was no prophet. His bad works embarrass as much as his good works amaze.
Europe has hated the jews for a long damned time, often on a mythological and senseless level (they plot against us systemically , they have tiny horns, they are wicked by nature, etc) and it is long since time that they got the fuck over it.
But Europe wants to get all masochistic with Gaia now. Centrak Asia and North Africa want to build a new empire for the Turks to take over by force when the time is right. Eastern Asia wants monarchism back only they want to call it something else. India seems like the only hope and they have to learn how to melting pot, or its all for naught. I have no idea what South America is doing but Christianity is getting stronger there while it weakens elsewhere.
Dark times ahead.
Judging by Pope Frank, Christianity in South America has no way to get but stronger.
HF, the Magnussen looks cool but don’t roll it around on rented hardwood. Or laminate either, probably. Landlord sees those wheels he’ll assume there’s damage even if he can’t see it.
Why did the Romans tear down the Jews’ temple and then scatter the Jews to the four winds? Is it possible that this had something to do with the Roman understanding of their own pieties (and not least in the light of these pieties as the foundation of their rule and justice?), as over against the Jews denial of any existence to the Roman pieties, mere fictions in the light of the revelation of the one true God? Just maybe? And don’t these same sort of clashings of the highest things arise again and again? Even down to today?
my hardwood is pretty ghetto already but it’s getting better cause of i bought a plucky lil south korean mopping robot
the property management company seems pretty… apathetic
they didn’t even inspect the place after sadness left, and i had to hire a cleaning service to get rid of her sad sad residue, a lot of which was cause of a cat she wasn’t even supposed to have but the management company never noticed
but i think the actual rolling would be pretty minimal, though yeah i think I’m a go the dolly route anyways – the dollies have rubber wheels that are probably way better than the coffee table for your floors
It being Chicago you should probably pay taxes and FICA for that robot.
And union dues.
“Why did the Romans tear down the Jews’ temple and then scatter the Jews to the four winds?”
Well the Romans who ordered it were Romans but the “Romans” who did were ethnically Syrian. And prior to the Roman alliance with Judea, Rome was bankrolled partially by Judean gold to drive off the remains of the Macedonian “thing”. Rome made a deal with Herod to govern the protectorate of Judea as a king. Herod was a Samaritan or at least was considered such by his subjects in Judea. He rebuilt the temple (as in expanded the temple which had been profaned by Antiochus and later redecated) in order to win over the Judeans. This did not work and anti-roman sentiments and calls for Messiah to rescue the kingdeom from foreign control were common and quite dangerous. Attacks on Roman troops (Syrian auxiliaries mostly) were common usually on the roads by ambush. When Herod’s line failed to maintain order (the Masada rebellion) the Romans scrapped the whole system and put the governor in charge of the whole thing rather than the Roman occupation/protection forces.
The Temple was seen as the focus of the rebellion and Judea was seen as a dengerous former ally that had been coddled but was slipping away from Rome’s orbit into an enemy. The Romans did not want to see Judean gold supporting some other upstart force at it had once supported Rome against the remains of Alexander’s empire. The Romans decided to treat Judea as an enemy and essentially dissolved it and its institutions into a Roman territory/province rather than a subject protectorate and junior ally.
Why don’t the Jews just drop their airy-fairy mono-God obsession and adopt the Roman pantheon as their own? Or heck, why not the vice versa? I mean, it’s not as if these stupid gods mean anything to anybody beyond pleasant stories to keep the rabble quiet, right? And by “decided to treat Judea as an enemy” are we referring to a Roman adjudicated conviction of the Jews as hostile to all mankind there?
I doubt the Syrian romans gave one shit about the roman gods. Most were probably half-ass zoroastrians or followers of the usual long surviving pagan arab, Egyptian, or Persian critters.
But you had to pay respect to the roman gods and powers to gain roman citizenship because the senate had started making statesmen into gods including the emperors so to deny roman gods was to deny roman political authority. The Romans were not picky about importing gods from their subjects either. They’d have been happy to put a statue of the I AM besides Juno, Jove, Quirinus/Janus, and Mars to be friendly about it. Sort of a “Your god signed a treaty with my gods, let’s have some chili and maitais to celebrate. You’ll love our safe roads, low taxes, forts, elevated waterways, and concrete dome-tech(TM) ” thing.
By “treat it as an enemy” I mean “sack it, level it, destroy it economically, militairly, and politically, sell the captives into slavery, reapportion the land to pay veterans in the roman army, name the region after their ancient enemies, and not treat with them as a sovereign nation anymore”.
And oddly enough the Romans DID adopt a form or variation of the Jewish God about three hundred years later and drop their own gods down to being mere fairies and ghosts.
It is possible that the empire wide hatred of the Jews happened with Constantine as the Jews were saddled with the sole responsibility of killing Jesus, contradictorily of rejecting his redemption through sacrifice, and seen as obstinate to the revealed will of God as interpreted through the lends of replacement theology.
I think there was also an element of “If you won’t convert you’re going to get hurt” that reached full flowered during the muslim conquest.
Those are some pricey dollies. Try Home Depot or Harbor Freight.

Herod wasn’t Samaritan. He was Idumean. Had he been a Samaritan, he would have packed up the whole kit and kaboddle and built his temple complex on Mount Gerazim.
You’re thinking of an earlier revolt than Massada; the one that happened more or less right after Herod finally kicked off. Massada is the mopping up operation following the capture and sacking of Jerusalem during the Great Revolt.
Would we not do better to refer to the Syrians of the referenced age as Assyrian because they’d share all the relevant qualities of the latter and none of the former?
I mean, I’m not going to call them Akkadian or anything but…
I watched the entire halftime show. It was surreal.
There are many people in this country who I just don’t get.
No. The Assyrians got done in by the Medes, who got done in by the Persians, who got done in by the Greeks. Thus Syria is correct.
And besides, Syria/Assyria is kind of like Cis-Alpine/Trans-Alpine Gaul, if I remember correctly.
Which I probably don’t because I’m can’t remember the name of the river that creates the Syria/Assyria distinction.
