UCLA, UC Irvine, Cal Berkeley and UC Davis are under investigation by the Department of Justice for hate and antisemitism. Numerous UC and State College campuses have professors that have called for the end of Israel, killing of Jews and promote riots against Jews on campus. Yet Gov. Newsom, a member of the UC Board of trustees and State College Board of Regents—and as Governor has been silent. He has not called for the firing of these vile haters. He has not demanded the expulsion of the student rioters or the arrest of these folks for holding Jews hostage in libraries, kidnappings on campus or for State or Federal hate crimes/
Gavin Newsom by his silence is supporting the Jew haters. A phony document that will not be enforced means nothing. Until you jail the rioters, expel the haters, anything less if political BS. But, Newsom is a Democrats did you really think he would do different?
Newsom Pretend antisemitism effort outline
Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California, 4/5/24 https://jpac-cal.org/
| Dear Friends, Governor Newsom just released the first-ever Golden State Plan to Counter Antisemitism. This is a robust set of policy initiatives and calls to action that will make a material difference on the security and prosperity of California’s Jewish community. It also sets a moral standard for how California responds to hate and divisiveness targeting all communities. In the aftermath of October 7th, JPAC leadership met with Governor Newsom to highlight the skyrocketing antisemitism crisis and requested a statewide plan inspired by President Biden’s National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. The Golden State Plan released today is the result of five months of collaboration between JPAC’s statewide coalition, California’s Legislative Jewish Caucus led by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel and Senator Scott Wiener, and the Governor’s office. At a time when antisemitic harassment, abuse, and violence has permeated all aspects of our society – our schools, workplaces, streets, and synagogues – this plan serves as a roadmap to address it wherever it rears its head, proactively and reactively. The Golden State Plan includes: Protecting the physical security of the Jewish community, including through nonprofit security grants;Working to fight antisemitism on college campuses by enforcing and enhancing campus safety policies;Developing antisemitism education programs for schools, colleges, law enforcement, and diverse communities;Improving hate crime reporting; Supporting Israel and uplifting the California-Israel relationship;Massively expanding Holocaust and genocide education; andEnsuring that ethnic studies curricula is free from antisemitic or anti-Zionist content. We are deeply grateful to Governor Newsom for answering our call to develop this historic Golden State Plan. With so much of Jewish communal life in California at stake, this strategy will help us reverse the normalization of rising antisemitism and make California a safer place for all. |
