Zionist group asks donors to avoid college
None
The Zionist Organization of America on Tuesday asked potential students and donors to the University of California, Irvine to look elsewhere after months of growing tension between Jewish and Muslim students.
In a statement, the New York-based organization lambasted Chancellor Michael Drake for not condemning anti-Semitic speech on campus and enabling a years-long history of "bigotry, discrimination and the violation of civil rights" by the school's Muslim Student Union. For years, tension has simmered between Jewish and Muslim student groups on campus, but emotions reached a fever pitch earlier this month when 11 students were arrested for repeatedly interrupting a talk by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren.
