Students Lead Silent March For Peace

Beginning at the flagpoles at noon, April 4, the Society of Arab Students hosted a silent march for peace addressing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The march led down Ring Road, encircled the Humanities Plaza and ended in a chanting huddle at the Student Center.

Many anti-Israeli posters were displayed and one of various protest chants included, “Sharon, Sharon, you can’t hide, you’re committing genocide,” referring to the Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon.

Flyers were also handed out with history of the conflict.

How to Report Anti-Semitism on College Campuses

Here's a quick email link to report anti-Semitism at UC Irvine

Email reports of campus anti-Semitism


To: referrals@usccr.gov, stuchman@zoa.org

If @ UCI:
To: referrals@usccr.gov, stuchman@zoa.org, deanstu@uci.edu, TedBlei@gmail.com, ReutRCohen@hotmail.com, rabbiyonah@gmail.com

This will contact, respectively, the US Commission on Civil Rights, and Susan Tuchman of the Zionist Organization of America, UCI's Dean of Students Office, Ted Bleiweis of the Orange County Independent Task Force on Anti-Semitism at UCI, Reut Cohen (former executive member of Anteaters for Israel and blogger of anti-Semitism at UCI), and OC Hillel Rabbi Yonah of http://www.RabbiYonah.com.

Make sure to follow up within a day or two if you don't hear anything back. We have seen that the anti-Semites only become more emboldened when the anti-Semitism isn't reported. Do your part to stop the hate.
