UCB should reprimand and root out the openly anti-Semitic professors at the school.
Every school should, right?
Furthermore, let's not confuse supporting the existence of a Palestinian state with 'anti-semitism'.
Anyhow, yet another partnership that uses Cal's expertise.

Russian Billionaire Teams With Berkeley to Investigate That "Alien Megastructure"
By David Grossman
Tabby's Star, scientifically known as KIC 8462852, has become a point of great intrigue in the ongoing search for extraterrestrial life following wild-sounding ideas that an "alien megastructure" could be there. Now UC Berkeley's Breakthrough Listen program is doing to explore that mystery more deeply than ever, thanks to funding by Russian billionaire investor Yuri Milner...
Nice try (not really!), but when you type in BIGOT into google you get this
Search Results
big·ot
ˈbiɡət/ noun
noun: bigot; plural noun: bigots
a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions.
"don't let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city"
synonyms:chauvinist, partisan, sectarian; More
However it's a text book example of what happen in BIGOTerkly!
You silly libs are always trying to change the definitions to suit political propaganda.
Illegal immigrant becomes "undocumented" etc. Now you're trying to change the definition of BIGOT, since Berkeley has shown it's astonishing BIGOTRY.
Sorry, but when the shoe fits....
When you type "BIGOT" into the search engine of a real dictionary such as Merriam-Webster, you get this:
«Definition of bigot
:
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially
:
one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance»
I go to Berkeley weekly. I know people who go to the school and know non-students that live there.
They were not in favor of the idiot anarchists. Most normal people are fed up with these people. Stop believing all of the nonsense that you read everywhere. Most people at Berkeley are just trying to attend school and aren't protesting, let alone rioting.
Do you know how many people go to UC Berkeley or live in Berkeley? Do you know how many people were protesting? And rioting (small % of overall protest)?

Irrelevant, as the protesters were trying to silence someone who disagree with them.
Wrong.
The protesters from the school were peaceful. It was the rioters not affliated with the school that reaked havoc and its pretty well known fact here.
The police didnt need to risk escalating the situation with a group that came with the expressed purpose of inciting violence.
Milo wasnt hurt and he lived to exaggerate the situation and later to state his support of pedophilia...you know what? Why dont u invite him to come to your kids schools to talk to them since you are suddenly a stalwart free speech activist.

Where is all the social media outrage from the left condemning what happened?
The FAKE outrage from the right was more than enough to cover the outrage quota for that week.

How do you know there wasn't outrage and condemning what happened? I condemned what happened, and I know plenty of people that did. Go look at the thread in the San Francisco forum on it, you'll see A LOT of people condemning it.
What do you want as proof that people "from the left" didn't agree with the anarchist rioters?
You are utilizing strong confirmation bias here. You're only seeing (or not seeing) what you want to further your preconceived point. If you knew anything about the school, you would know that this is a highly divisive issue, and most students aren't protesting (let alone rioting). They just want to get on with their days and complete their work.

Of course, but too many times the pro Palestinian crowd becomes rabidly anti Israel.
This video from the campus of UCB says it all. Of course he could have edited out some bad reactions to the ISIS flag, but the reaction to the Israeli flag is bad enough.
They need to clean out the anti-Semitic professors.

The university has denied the allegations. But even if the claims in the lawsuit were proved, U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg said in a ruling Thursday, they would not show that university officials violated the Jewish students' rights.
Much of the conduct involved "pure political speech" that is constitutionally protected even if it "contained language that plaintiffs believe was inflammatory, offensive or untrue," he aid.
Seeborg said some courts have allowed public colleges to outlaw harassing speech and conduct that interferes with students' rights, but schools have no legal duty to do so. The Muslim organizations receive campus funding on the same basis as other groups, the judge said, and any attempt to withdraw it would raise "serious First Amendment issues."
Seeborg also rejected the plaintiffs' claim that UC officials were deliberately indifferent to the threats they faced. He said campus police have arrested disruptive protesters, and the Berkeley administration "has engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the opposing parties in an attempt to ensure that the rights of all persons are respected, and to minimize the potential for violence."
Seeborg said the plaintiffs could try to redraft their suit to allege specific violations of their rights. Plaintiffs' lawyer Joel Siegal said they are reviewing their options and that the suit has also stimulated a campus-wide discussion on the types of conduct that the university should tolerate.
UC Berkeley attorney Christopher Patti said the ruling "reaffirmed the fact that the university has been working hard to resolve conflicts between campus groups with opposing points of view."

No, Anti-Israeli govt policy is not the same thing as anti-semitism.
To be anti-semitic implies discrimination against someone because they are Jewish, no? There is no evidence of that being a widespread issue at Cal at all.
