“Earlier this year, I drafted a resolution condemning anti-Semitism on our college campuses. There had been a deeply disturbing rise in anti-Semitic incidents on campuses in California and across the country, and also a totally inadequate response by university faculty and administration who were unable or unwilling to condemn this activity, and sometimes it happened with their tacit or even outright support of individual faculty members. This has been a growing problem on university campuses. Just a few years ago, a task force of university faculty in California was tasked with preparing an ethnic studies curriculum for high schools. What they produced was a deeply anti-Semitic document that Gavin Newsom condemned saying that it was offensive in so many ways it would never see the light of day and that the California Legislative Jewish Caucus said echoed the propaganda of the Nazi regime. Nonetheless, in spite of all of this, nothing could have prepared us for what has happened in the aftermath of Hamas' terrorist attack on the State of Israel.…”
