(Jewish Group) Lecturer apologizes for retweet that UC Berkeley condemned as anti-Semitic

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

UC Berkeley officials today condemned university lecturer Hatem Bazian for retweeting cartoons the school determined had “crossed the line” into anti-Semitism. Bazian apologized and said “the image is offensive and does not represent my views or the anti-racist work that I do.”

The cartoons originally were tweeted by a user named Ron Hughes on July 31 and then retweeted by Bazian, a lecturer in the Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies department.

One cartoon shows a Jewish man raising his arms in celebration above the caption: “I can now kill, rape, smuggle organs & steal the land of Palestinians.”

The other shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, wearing a kippah, saying he has just converted his nation to Judaism: “Donald Tlump: Now my nukes are legal & I can annex South Korea & you need to start paying me 34 billion a year in welfare.”

=======================================================

You just know assholes like him are the ones always whining, crying, and squawking about "not conflating Jews with Israel and criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism", and yet, they are the ones who do THIS! Even more ironic, is a lecture in the in the Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies department would retweet something with Anti-Asian bigotry, "Tlump", a mockery of Asian speakers (confusing the "R" sound with the "L" sound, and vice versa). I just have to remember many think anti-Semitism is "justifiable" and "excusable".
