“It’s not safe to be a Jewish student at UC Berkeley.” That was the message a Jewish student delivered before the House of Representatives’ Education and the Workforce Committee last Thursday, just days after anti-Israel agitators at UC Berkeley assaulted Jewish students.

To shut down an event featuring an Israeli speaker, the mob last week spat on, shoved, choked, and harassed Jewish students and broke windows and a door. Police acceded to the intimidation and canceled the speech. If Jewish students at Berkeley hoped their classrooms would offer a reprieve from the anti-Israel hostility on the quad, they would be sadly mistaken.
