Jewish Issues: "US gov’t to probe anti-Semitism at California university"

Did you know that the Bible speaks of a time to come when 2 out of 3 Jewish people will loose their lives....this is greater than the Holocaust....that is why we must watch for the rise of anti-Semitism, it is a key development in the world before Jesus' returns:

“It will come about in all the land,” Declares the Lord, “That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it. “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’ ” (Zechariah 13:8-9). 

We are seeing the development of this in our own country.

Alleged anti- Semitism to be investigated after lecturer filed complaint claiming university was failing to address hostile environment for Jewish students.

  NEW YORK – In what experts are calling a “strong signal to American higher education,” the US Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has opened an investigation into claims of anti- Semitism at the University of California Santa Cruz, examining claims of a hostile environment for Jewish students on the Santa Cruz campus.

UC-Santa Cruz lecturer Tammi Rossman-Benjamin filed a complaint in June 2009 claiming that the university was failing to address a hostile environment for Jewish students.The complaint alleges that Jewish students suffer frequent “hostile and demonizing criticism” as Jewish students.

Rossman-Benjamin, who has also published a paper entitled “Anti-Zionism and the Abuse of Academic Freedom: A Case Study at the University of California, Santa Cruz,” claims that anti-Semitic dialogues and mentalities have been present and pervasive on that school’s campus since 2001. She claims that faculty members routinely insert anti-Zionist rhetoric into departmentally-sponsored events. She also references an academic conference entitled “Alternative Histories within and beyond Zionism,” held in 2007, where multiple speakers claimed that Zionism was an illegitimate ideology, and argued in favor of eliminating Israel.

“The unscholarly, political and anti-Semitic nature of the conference raises questions about whether events of this kind are a legitimate exercise of academic freedom or an abuse of it,” Rossman-Benjamin wrote in her paper.
