In 2011, two of the folks from JVP who were involved came to UCI. One of them, Israeli anarchist, Matan Cohen called pro-Israel speech "<br />useless discourse". He also said that those who defend the Zionsist state should not feel comfortable on campus. I asked him who he thought he was coming to our country and telling us who had or didn'r have the right of free speech. To that Ms Roberts accused me of trying to take away Cohen's right of free speech. Talk about Alice in Wonderland.<br /><br />http://garyfouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/useless-discourse-another-israel-bash.htmlGary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769014608405032519.post-16531834858160288752012-04-26T21:53:09.734-07:002012-04-26T21:53:09.734-07:00Shlomo- J street believes in Israel as the state ...Shlomo- J street believes in Israel as the state of the Jewish people.
