'Jewish-Free Zones?' Berkeley Student Groups' Vote Is 'Tinged with Antisemitism'

Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, who has said he's a progressive Zionist, told The J that "many students" view the bylaw as "antisemitic" because "to say that anyone who supports the existence of Israel — that's what you define as Zionism — shouldn't speak would exclude about, I don't know, 90 percent or more of our Jewish students."

Only a tiny fraction of those groups signed on to SJP's request—and most had no idea this was happening. Read the full story from CBN News: https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2022/...
