In the Los Angeles Times, Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of Berkeley Law School, tells us “nothing” has prepared him for the prevalence of antisemitism on campus.

Nothing? …

And, after 70 years of supernatural cluelessness, the dean of a prestigious law school has apparently figured out that “Zionist” is just a codeword for “Jew.”

A year ago, though, Chemerinsky was asking people not to “generalize about BDS on campus,” arguing that it is “nonsense” and “false narrative” to claim that antisemitism was a problem on campuses. “I have seen little antisemitism among our faculty, staff and students at Berkeley Law or on the campus.” Whoops.

[I have more sympathy for liberal Jews outside of Academia that feel blindsided now, such as Mayim Bialik for just one example. But Chemerinsky had a ringside seat in Academia and in its relentless intolerance, ESPECIALLY at Berkeley. This one’s worthy of a Captain Louis Renault award. Read all of David’s rebuke. — Ed]
