It is not liberals who are buying the lies of the state of Israel, I am a staunch Conservative and I think that Israel has being abusing the human rights of the Palestinian people for over 6 decades. Why is it that Israel is constantly building endless amounts of settlements in the West Bank? Why is it that AIPAC (which controls the American government) pressures America to give trillions and trillions of dollars to the state of Israel? Has Israel been an ally of America? NO. Why? Look up the USS Liberty incident where US troops shot an American ship and tried to blame it on the Egyptians. Also, when Israel attacks Palestinian territories, why do Israeli forces make it hard for Palestinians to get food, get water, get shelter, get healthcare treatment and other things.

Israel is trying to make excuses about everything. I am not racist against Jews and I am not trying to be anti-Semitic, but the fact is that, Israelis (European Jews) have been stealing land from Palestinians and driving them out of their lands. Why does AIPAC beg for ridiculously large amounts of foreign aid from other countries all the time? Because Israel wants to constantly expand and warmonger, that is why. They are abusing human rights, that is why. Stating the facts is not racist and anti-Semitic.

Infact, there are many Jews who criticise the behavior of Israel actually.

You are being feeded by the Pro-Zionist media who wants to brainwash people in claiming that Palestinians are bloodthristy evil vilians that want to kill Jews and destroy them my friend. This is outright lies. Fact is, the Israeli lobby has tried to exert power over the US Government and lied and manipulated it's way in trying to manipulate governments in joining the Israeli campaign to displace, relocate, torture, murder, rape, bomb and drive out Palestinians out of their native lands. Why is that the Israel lobby trying to cover up the fact that they have stolen land and driven out so many non-Jewish people from Palestine. It is not racist or anti-Semitic to state the fact that Israel is engaged in full fledged ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people. This is not racist. Infact it is racist how you are blatantly stating the lies to cover up Israel's wrongdoings. Everyone in the USA is tired of how trillions of dollars goes to a state that was as racist as Apartheid South Africa. I have no problems with Jews, I just am tired of Zionist (Racist) excuses. Everyone is tired of Zionism, including a lot of Jews themselves.

How is anti-Semitic to state that Israel is killing and maming innocent children. They are bombing cities, children, men and women at alarming rates and Israel is building settlements in Jerusalem and killing people at alarming rates. Zionism = Jewish Racism + Apartheid. By being against Zionism, you are NOT against Judaism, you are against a Talmudic form or Nazism.

What the UC Berkeley senate has done was totally responsible. The state of Israel has literally abused the rights of the Palestinian people, built big walls against them, deprived them of food, water, medicine, electricity and other needs. Israel keeps on penetrating and building settlements in the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem and constantly drives out Palestinians – both Christians and Muslims out of Gaza, which is similar to what the Nazis did to the Jews. The settlements have grown and grown for about 6 decades total. It is not Anti-Semitic and racist to point the fact. The pro-Israeli lobby has tried to dictate foreign policy in Washington and Capital Hill but people are waking up. Why should American citizens give trillions of tax dollars to a regime that has abused human rights more then North Korea, China, Burma, Sudan or Zimbabwe.

Europeans invaded Palestine not the other way around. Israel needs to get out of Palestine! And I mean all the way.

well to all those Israel sympathizers, what would you expect from people who are literally under siege for more than 35 years.. no rights, no nothing, not by the government, rather by another nation.. hah. then they kill in the name of "war on terror" so this is what u get.. some people just cant take it. so they take the law in their hands.. most of you would do the same in a situation like this..sitting in the US, watching Fox news and talking bull about Palestinians doesn't make any sense..

I wish my school could do this, but there's a big pro-Israel hegemony on Israel-Palestine in this school and all over the United States. Someone who is really pro-peace does not support funding Israel. Way to go Berkeley, fight the hegemony and stand up for justice!
