There is a good article in today's East Bay Express, "Berkeley Intifada," about antisemitism at U.C. Berkeley. Heavy emphasis is placed on the role of Dr. Hatem Bazian. (see the Berkeley Archive)

The article would benefit from some additional historical perspective. While some details are provided, such as the synopsis of the March 1996 rally in support of suicide terrorism, others are left out. The article does not note, for example, that Dr. Bazian appeared on television as a spokesman for that rally. Nor does it mention that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has a history of its own in Berkeley, having been distributed on campus by the Muslim Students Association in 1983, and having been sold at a conference organized by Dr. Bazian in 1997.
