Berkeley..the place that won my heart in 1964 and where I'd have stayed until I died, could I have.

And yet, this same pile of porcine excrement can be counted upon to unleash their acrid hatred of anything not AIPAC and promote SANCTION of a Congresswoman who dares to speak her mind about the depravity and visciousness of Israel, the SS/IDF and their acoylytes, the B.O. reeking "settlers", along with financial arm AIPAC right here in the US, and all their hideous, Kristalnacht-esque tactics, murdering and robbing and taking as hostages, the Palestinian people, every day for decades..I am truly embarrassed to be an American. I thought we were better than just a bunch of bought and paid for whooers..but our government is not..clearly! Note to the ignorant..Arabs ARE Semites! What is being levied against them, mindlessly and with total ignorance of the fact IS "antiSemitism"!!
