Berkeley class offering extra credit opportunities for pro Hamas/Palestinian protest
Students in an Asian studies class at the University of California, Berkeley, have an opportunity to complete the class requirement for a field trip by participating in the national student walkout. If they had already done the field trip portion of the class, they could gain an additional five points for this requirement by also participating in the student walkout. The walkout was intended as a statement against the “settler-colonial occupation of Gaza.”
From @AleResnik (Twitter):
Hi everyone,
We’re offering a field trip and/or extra credit opportunity:
(1) Students can attend the national student walkout tomorrow against the settler-colonial occupation of Gaza (info attached below) OR
(2) Students can watch a short documentary on Palestine and call/email your representative using this linktree.
Doing so will either count as a field trip or an extra 5 points on the field trip category of your grade. Section 101/102 students can email me (victoria.huynh@berkeley.edu) to let me know which option they choose, and a screenshot/photo with proof of their participation. Sections 103/104 can do the same with Derek.
For sections 101/102, we’ll spend some time today talking about Palestinian history in relation to class concepts like colonialism, imperialism, and Third World solidarity.

Can these credits be paired with other activities like say
car bombings etc.?
Asking for a friend.
They can be paired with SVEST attacks. A successful SVEST attack will result in full completion credit for you AND your room mates for the semester. So you are really doing it for them. “A them has no greater love….”
This was walked back by the UCB yesterday. Now you can also attend a pro-Israel rally or read a book or watch a movie for the five points.

This hilarious statement:
She then uncrossed her fingers and pulled them out from behind her back.
Given the trend of what had occurred at that and other academic campuses, the walk back was more of a “cover one’s ass” move. The fact that a PhD student would comfortably offer that as an option, and then show coordination with another person also mentioned in the note, provides a hint of their mindsets and what they assumed the university would let them do. Would that walk back even have occurred if the blowback didn’t happen? Given what I’ve read, from comments from young folks who are recent or current college students, I doubt that walk back would’ve occurred.
I tend to agree.

Walk? Who, meeeee? Callin’ me a Uber, man!
If these useful idiots REALLY want to support Palestine, maybe they should charter them a flight to Gaza and join up with Ham-Ass. I’m sure that Ham-Ass has plenty of weapons to issue them from the stocks received out of Affy or the ‘Kraine.
This is just the latest “cause” to be “outraged” by this week. Think the “cause heads” from the very righteous movie PCU from 1994. The movie is basically a comedic form of 1984 in cinema.
They cry about genocide but their “peace solution” is genocide of Israel. They’re not opposed to mass killings, as long as “the right people are being killed”.
Who’s land is it anyway? I seem to remember reading about Judaea, the Roman Empire, Pontius Pilate, and Jesus of Nazareth in a time some 600 plus before the birth of Islam and 700 years before the inhabitants of Judaea were scattered like dandelion spores.
What would a bunch of college kids know about History? Pops ain’t getting much value for his tuition money.
Buuuuut, it’s the only way to get them little shiiiits out of mommy’s basement! Military don’t want ‘em.
My thoughts exactly. I’d love to see what the followers of the “Religion of Peace” would do to some blue-haired LBTQEIEIO types. Perhaps a quick skyscraper BASE jump?😂
I say send those airheaded useful idiots straight into the arms of Ham-ass for a year where they’d really learn who they’ve sided with, and survivors may peacefully petition for their reentry into the United States.
I agree with all but your last sentence API.. they should have their citizenship revoked on the way out the door.
A spokesman for ham ass says “we have no more tall buildings “.
They will just have to throw the offenders off the highest rubble pile multiple times
Lol
Fuck Berkeley. Wall it in, let them all wallow in their misguided self-righteous indignation. If you want to promote rape, murder, beheadings, and hostage taking, we’ll build you your very own Gaza strip right there in California. Inshallah, bitch.
A-fuckin-men.
Fuckin A diddley Bop
Last I saw and heard, they’ve damn near done that in Oakland, much of it looks like a third world shithole.
Commissar must be beyond proud and thrilled.
He’s probably packing his medical bag so he can serve as a medic, in case the Hamas students get trounced on – giving aid and comfort and such..
Probably stocking his aid kit with Astro-Glide and chapstick. Knee pads might need replacement as well.
Fuckin A diddley Bop
h/t Jeff 😉
Last I heard they cut off the internet to Gaza so he may already be over there serving as a
bomb heat signatureerrhuman shieldhuman rights medic…I am as rabidly anti-Hamas as it gets. And the reason Palestinians don’t have a state is because they would rather not have a state than accept a Jewish state. They had multiple opportunities for statehood going back to 1917.
The majority chose to support war every time instead.
To this day a convicted terrorist who was convicted of murdering five civilians and implicated in the murder of 16 others, including bashing the head of a toddler into the concrete.., enjoys 60% support to be the Palestinian president if he were released from Israeli prison.
2/3rds of adult Palestinians would refuse to accept a Palestinian state if it meant a Israel continued to exist.
There will never be a Palestinian “state” or nation because the majority of the Palestinian people who are in positions of power or their minions are dedicated to the extermination of every Jew in the Middle East. Such people are dedicated IslamoNazi’s. Their original leader, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, was a huge fan of Hitler and spent several years in Berlin as the guest of the Fuhrer.
Moreover, the Pali people are entirely dependent on the grift of their leaders and Islamist militias. If they ever formed a nation at peace with Israel, the cash flow would stop. The people would starve.
Congrats, Commissar, that is the most accurate statement you have ever posted here.
I can’t believe I just gave you a thumbs up!
Speaking of, I haven’t heard from him in awhile. Maybe he is busy rubbing one out.
And don’t forget, when he pops up like whack a mole, always end replies with 🤣. Don’t stoop to his level of pissed offness.

I’ll go ahead and fill in here….
“Palestinians don’t have their own country because it’s Trumps fault.”
👀?
I attended Juilliard. I’m a graduate of the Harvard business school and the Berkeley school of Jihad..
That’s some tutu you’re wearin’ !
“And DO NOT forget to salute the portraits of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Che Guevara on your way out of the classroom, Comrades!”
Is there a bag limit for Berkeley, stick bundled leftist, progressive, communist, Marxist, meat, gobbling, pronoun throwing, terroristic wastes of humanity?
Asking for a friend.
Better have two (2) bags, Chippy…one (1) for her face and one (1) for yourself in case her’s falls off.
Is that in case she’s a butter face?
Yepper!
Depends upon whether they have a horn… down there you know. If they are the white horned version, no bag limit.
“stick bundled”.. i like what you did there.. little commie shitstains won’t have a clue what you mean

It’s not just Berkeley.
How do people stand idly by and allow this to happen? I don’t recognize my country anymore. This anti semitic wave is terrifying. I really thought we were better people than that. I was wrong.
I don’t agree with the BS going on now days, but there are still good people out there. 99.999 of the people here fall into the good category.
You can burn cities to the ground, steal businesses blind, harass certain individuals or nationalities and… crickets.
There may be a day when the good people rise up and smack the crap out of the spoiled children just to listen to them cry.
If that doesn’t happen soon, it never will. If we’re not past the tipping point we’re damn sure close.. this next election will answer that question i believe, for better or for worse…
50+ years of commies running the colleges… this is what we reap…
When you have teachers with the views of Bill Ayres or Tom Hayden, this is what you get. Hell, Angela Davis is a professor emeritus at Berzerkely. She has been teaching at UC campuses and other colleges for about 45 years.
Actually, Angela performed most of her teaching (indoctrination) at UCLA and UC-Santa Cruz. She is now collecting a fat UC pension.
Sounds like it’s time for open season on protestors…
Apparently all college is now good for is to make sandbags out of human beings.
Formerly semi educated, fully indoctrinated human sand bags.

I prefer all funding of this and similar programs be cancelled and loans to discontented students be withdrawn immediately. Our places of lower learning are becoming training camps for terrorists. Those students violating school’s guidelines, history and honor are endangering faculty, facilities, and students not involved with destructive activities and must be expelled.
Question: How many of these antiAmerican scholars have patriotically served one day in our nation’s defense?
I got nothing as far as how many “scholars” have served, but I’m betting next to zero, if even that many.
