Anti-Semitic Riot at San Francisco State University


(Jerusalem Post/San Francisco State University) - After a campus pro-Israel rally by SFSU Hillel members on May 7, drawing some 400 participants, Palestinian supporters descended on a group of 50 students who stayed behind, screaming at the Jews to "Get out or we'll kill you" and "Hitler didn't finish the job." SFSU President Robert A. Corrigan reacted strongly: "A small but terribly destructive number of pro-Palestinian demonstrators... abandoned themselves to intimidating behavior and statements too hate-filled to repeat. This group became so threatening... that we interposed a police line between the groups and eventually escorted the Hillel students, and the faculty with them, from the plaza. No one was physically assaulted, but that encounter puts at risk all that we value and represent as a university community."
