… is not paying attention
Last week, I attended a council meeting to support my roommate, sorority sister and best friend, Rachel Beyda, as she went through the last step of being confirmed by the council as an appointed justice to the Judicial Board of the Undergraduate Students Association Council. I greatly admire Rachel’s academic success and the passion and determination she has demonstrated toward her goal of becoming a lawyer. I have seen her accrue immense leadership skills and experience in the legal field, both at UCLA, as the current law clerk for the Judicial Board and beyond. Therefore, as I ascended the stairs to Kerckhoff 417, I incorrectly assumed the confirmation of Rachel’s appointment would be quick and simple.
Rachel had been unanimously approved by the Appointments Review Committee consisting of three council members before she flawlessly introduced herself to the council. However, the first question directed at her by General Representative 3 Fabienne Roth was an attack on Rachel’s ability to be a justice based on her involvement in the Jewish community. […]
What followed was a disgusting 40 minutes of what can only be described as unequivocal anti-Semitism during which some of our council members resorted to some of the oldest accusations against Jews, including divided loyalties and dishonesty.
All council members swiftly agreed Rachel was amply qualified for the position, but half of the council had strong reservations stemming from Rachel’s Jewish identity. “My issue is, I’m going to be upfront about it, I think she’s pretty great. She’s smart, she like knows her stuff, she’s like probably going to be a really great lawyer. But I’m like not going to pretend this isn’t about conflict of interest. … It’s not her fault … but she’s part of a community that’s very invested in USAC. … Even if she’s the right person for the job,” claimed Roth. Sadeghi-Movahed added, “For some reason, I’m not 100 percent comfortable. I don’t know why. I’ll go through her application again. I’ve been going through it constantly, but I definitely can see that she’s qualified for sure.” Throughout this discussion, Rachel anxiously paced outside, where, she later informed me, she could hear “conflict of interest” being yelled and concluded that it could only be about her being Jewish. Undoubtedly, the Israeli-Palestinan conflict is one of the most contentious issues on our campus. However, Israel was not mentioned during the discussion of Rachel’s appointment, only her affiliation with Jewish organizations, making the extensive deliberation a definitive act of discrimination.

Well, it is, afterall, a well known fact that Jewish hatred for Palestinians is so strong that Palestinians have been known to spontaneously combust!
Clearly, the only solution to the intractable problems of race sex and gender discrimination is segregation.
Proud Jew hating Democrats make accusations they themselves perform, which is after all par for the course of their general conduct.
Disgusting.
Would it be bad form for me to inquire where the University speech codes were? The “microagression” swat team? Substitute “LGBTQXYX” or “Black” for “Jew” in that article and see what happens.

Their behavior is genuinely pathological, following a predictable pattern. Whether that predictability can be used against them is above my pay grade.

Is anyone here surprised by this?
Very little surprises me any more. It would have been surprising if she had been appointed and no further discussion about her ethnicity had taken place.

While I don’t agree with every bit of the gloom and doom Dicentra predicts, I believe she is dead-on-balls-accurate that The Republic as we’ve known it is lost.
It is time to work to preserve what we can, however we can.
I have to say that I’m surprised that none of the recent crop of anti-Semites ever mentions Abraham’s treatment of Ishmael. After all, that’s about when it all began.
We ought to consider that the term “anti-semite” was coined in the 19th century by a Jew hater as a “scientific” cover for inexcusable Jew hate. And then act accordingly.
