The answer is simple, they have the right to hate whoever they want. We have the right to boycott Santa Barbara and let it be all Nazi. No trouble with that! Just no Jewish students and no Jewish money any more!

can someone get away without being reprimanded or fired. Had someone compared the taliban or ham-ass to the nazis,he would have been fired. This shows that the "jewish" students in the U.S. are a weak bunch of people without a drop of pride. A generation ago and there would have been a riot on campus and the professor would have had to go into hiding. But today, nothing happens to him. All Jews who contribute money to the U.C. should tell the board of regents no more. Let them look for money from the saudis or other "friends" of the U.S. It works for former U.S. presidents.

and this is not anti semitism cause that imbecile profesor is jewish but also mega idiot, considering his sources comes from articles he read and not pure facts, he can kiss his academic career goodbye cause he hurted so many holocaust survivors(who live in the USA) feelings. MMM lets make his live in the Sderot city for one year see what happens.

All Jewish alumni should stop all funding immediately. This is an officially anti-Jewish campus now.

Robinson is nothing more than an example of the pathetic decline of western academia. The stylish obsession with pretending that biased Israel-bashing is somehow "justified criticism" simply doesn't add up. There is clear and irrefutable evidence that modern academia simply ignores the rest of the world and focuses all their criticism on Israel. What a sad statement on the decline of UCSB.

You are absolutely right, Mr. Professor.

However, UCSB should not need a native resident to guide its decision making. The UC system is no longer a valid educational venue, so far as we are concerned. We will be sending our sons elsewhere for their bona fide higher education.

The denial of the nutjobs who say it simply didn't happen is not the issue because most people know it did. This kind is far worse. People are slowly losing sight of what the Holocaust was. It wasn't the Germans "humiliated" the Jews. It wasn't even that they killed civilians - lots of other civilians were killed in WW2. It wasn't even that the civilians were deliberately killed. It was that a group defined solely by its ethnicity was targeted for extermination despite posing no threat whatsoever to Germany or Germans. Jews weren't firing rockets at germans, were not targeting german cafes or buses. Jews were not on a regular basis calling for the destruction of Germany. Jews were not denying Germany's right to exist. But slowly but surely with this denial people lose sight of what the Holocaust was..

make them dirtier?

From a US govt. definition of Anti-Semitism ( http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/102301.pdf , page 7): "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."

". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth. "Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and ever will be so. "Why is this? You know that Zionism is nothing less than the dream and ideal of the Jewish people returning to live in their own land. The Jewish people, the Scriptures tell us, once enjoyed a flourishing Commonwealth in the Holy Land. From this they were expelled by the Roman tyrant, the same Romans who cruelly murdered Our Lord. Driven from their homeland, their nation in ashes, forced to wander the globe, the Jewish people time and again suffered the lash of whichever tyrant happened to rule over them. "The Negro people, my friend, know what it is to suffer the torment of tyranny under rulers not of our choosing. Our brothers in Africa have begged, pleaded, requested--DEMANDED the recognition and realization of our inborn right to live in peace under our own sovereignty in our own country. "How easy it should be, for anyone who holds dear this inalienable right of all mankind, to understand and support the right of the Jewish People to live in their ancient Land of Israel. All men of good will exult in the fulfilment of God's promise, that his People should return in joy to rebuild their plundered land. This is Zionism, nothing more, nothing less. "And what is anti-Zionist? It is the denial to the Jewish people of a fundamental right that we justly claim for the people of Africa and freely accord all other nations of the Globe. It is discrimination against Jews, my friend, because they are Jews. In short, it is antisemitism. "The antisemite rejoices at any opportunity to vent his malice. The times have made it unpopular, in the West, to proclaim openly a hatred of the Jews. This being the case, the antisemite must constantly seek new forms and forums for his poison. How he must revel in the new masquerade! He does not hate the Jews, he is just 'anti-Zionist'! "My friend, I do not accuse you of deliberate antisemitism. I know you feel, as I do, a deep love of truth and justice and a revulsion for racism, prejudice, and discrimination. But I know you have been misled--as others have been--into thinking you can be 'anti-Zionist' and yet remain true to these heartfelt principles that you and I share. Let my words echo in the depths of your soul: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--make no mistake about it."

Robinson has been conuicting vicious attacks against Israel, not an innocent and honest "criticism". His "criticism" of Israel has always been one-sided and OUT OF CONTEXT! He never complained about the Himan Rights situation in the Hamas-occupied Gaza, and never "criticized" the on-going rockets shower falling on Israeli civilian comunities for the last 8 years! He NEVER blamed terrorists, thus JUSTIFYING the brutal dehumanization and murder of innocent Israeli civillians at the hand of his allies - the Islamo-Leftist gangs infesting the US Universities and their counterparts in the 'palestinian universities" of terror. This makes you, Mr. Robinson a VICIOUS ANTI-SEMITE AND RACIST! Beautifying your rampant inhumane barks and hiding them behind distorted "justified criticism" and documented lies, does not hide your ugly bigot face. I hope you feel good about having hordes of anarchists, Jihadists, freedom-deniers and US Constitution bashers as your students. It takes one to know one!

It is time to call the Americans to account for their horrific extermination of the American Indian tribes in their expansionist move to occupy the North American Continent. Of course, we must throw the Candians in for good measure! Then we can bring up the slave trade and the slave states pf the United State, the racial discrimination laws and the prohibition of "miscegenation" until 1967! As for the UC Santa Barbara it stands, as do all the town and cities of California, on occupied Mexico which was occupied by Spain and this stolen from the indigenous people of that land! People in glass houses shouldn't .......

I would compare UCSB to a university but the resemblance is so weak and obscured

AVINOAM, I DID READ THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE DOCUMENT YOU REFFERED TO. HERE IS THE SAME STATMENT I ALSO READ. THE FOLLOWING IS FROM a US govt. definition of Anti-Semitism, "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis." AVINOAM, YOU ARE CORRECT 100 PERCENT !

Now all these leftist antisemites have no excuses for this outrageous comparison. I think the link you provided would come in quite handy for me in future posts.

A dispute over a new memoir has cast a spotlight on the powerfully enduring belief that the Nazis made soap from the bodies of Jews -- something that Holocaust scholars largely dismiss as myth. But, you still see the humorous soap story on the Israeli TV! According to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C: "None of the lampshades that have surfaced over the past 50 years have ever turned out to be real,"

Perhaps its time for business owners to blitz UCSB with a barrage of letters advising them that when any graduate puts UCSB on their resume the job application will simply not be respected. It is UCSB that needs to lose its credibility. whoever graduates UCSB might have a harder time finding a job.

but, unfortunately, they are Zionists atheists. There is no antisemitic law that punishes man for being atheist.

pay it's bills in a month if there are no new taxes and republicans won't agree to new taxes. When this state shuts down, crumbs like this guy will have no check. As budgets get cut more and more, it will be easier to cut this crumb. Tenure means nothing at a closed campus.

the 95+% of polish Jews exterminated don't need to worry about it

... of course, members of the "enlightened" and "progressive" circles of academe find the concept of "racism" when it comes to anti-Jewish racism as something that can't exist, to say nothing about the "knowledge" exhibited by members of such circles about events in the Middle East especially by comparing them to the Shoah. I just hope this university is not an example of the intellectual level that prevails in American academic institutions, or is it?

You're welcome. Just be careful since there is some room for interpretation and it is also clearly stated that all criticisms of Israel that could just as well have been laid against any other country are legitimate. Painting everything as anti-semetic is actually counter-productive, especially when such statements are made in ignorance, rather than malice, which is usually the case. A touch of pragmatism is advised. In this case however, we're talking about a university, and ignorance is not a possible defence.

...compared to... well, you decide...?? And what would have happened if Muslims mass slaughter of people - read the newspaper, it is there daily! - were compared to... well, you decide...?? Would that lecturer still be standing lecturing his "narratives", sewing yet another patch of fabric to the quilt full of fabrications??!!

they can take out the tones of soap put in their symbolic graves; business flourishes.
