How it started:
On April 14, the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies, together with Hillel -- a Jewish students' association -- hosted an event featuring Omer Shem Tov, a 23-year-old who was abducted by terrorists from the Nova music festival on Oct. 7, 2023, and held captive by Hamas for 505 days.
One week later, the Undergraduate Students Association Council released a statement condemning the event on the grounds that it "advance[d] incomplete and harmful representations of ongoing violence."
The student council did not condemn a government action. Or a political rally. Or a military campaign. It condemned an event featuring a young person, just like them, who had survived 505 days in the clutches of internationally recognized terrorists, only because the event did not also focus on Palestinian suffering.

A failed Palestinian suicide bomber released as part of an October 7 massacre hostage ransom spoke remotely to University of California, Berkeley students on Monday at an event held in one of the university's classrooms, according to social media posts by the organizing student groups.
Israa Jaabis, who was convicted of an attempted car bombing in Jerusalem in 2015, spoke by video call to students in Berkeley Law School classroom 170 during a Palestinian Political Prisoners Day event organized by Berkeley Law Students for Justice in Palestine and UC Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine.
The video posted on Wednesday by UCB SJP, in which Jaabis addresses the students, shows a full classroom of students clapping for the failed terrorist.
