University of California regent John A. Pérez discussed campus hate in a recent Politico talk where he noted a 'disproportionate' rise in antisemitiism compared to anti-Muslim hate.
A member of the University of California's Board of Regents says the antisemitism levels on university campuses are 'absolutely disproportionate' to that of anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hatred since the Israel-Hamas conflict began generating intense divides last October. 'The antisemitism is absolutely disproportionate. We reject both,' John A. Pérez told Politico in an interview published Sunday. 'We reject all forms of hatred.
The situation escalated into discussions about First Amendment rights and Afaneh claiming she was assaulted by Fisk. Pérez, a former Berkeley student, told POLITICO he believes the students siding with Afaneh 'overstepped a line' by disrupting the private event. 'They telegraphed their opposition by calling for a boycott — that was fine, that was completely within their rights.
érez also stated that there have 'absolutely' been spikes in anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hatred on campuses since the Israel-Hamas war began, but the prevalence of activities targeting Jewish students. 'We’re not seeing where we’re attacking every Muslim student, because we take issue with what Hamas did on Oct. 7,' he told the outlet. 'One can debate the space between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
