YAY for Ruth Lobo and YAY for Jessica Felber

These two brave young women are standing up for what they believe in and fighting for causes that are close to their hearts. Where are the others? MIA ?   If we don't learn how to fight fire with fire .... we will be shot down pretty soon. The days of giving your other cheek to be slapped too, have long gone and the sooner we come to grips with that the better. It is time for students to fight back with university bodies that curtail their freedom of speech, because if you cannot exercise your freedom of thought and speech on campus grounds you might as well lay yourself down and admit defeat for the rest of your days.

Jessica Felber, American: Since we live in a craven age, let's salute our few heroes. Meet Jessica Felber, a 21-year-old Lioness of Judah, who's suing the University of California for failing to protect her civil rights.

Felber is a student activist at Berkeley who simply asserts her right to stand on campus and hold a sign saying, "Israel Wants Peace," without subsequently needing urgent medical attention. What Jew can count on that right on a UC campus these days?

In March 2010, Felber was violently assaulted by Husam Zakharia, the leader of Students for Justice in Palestine, as she peacefully held her sign at a pro-Israel event. UC authorities "were fully aware that Zakharia, the SJP and similar student groups had been involved in other incidents on campus to incite violence against and intimidate Jewish and other students," says her renowned lawyer, Neal Sher. Nevertheless, "[d]efendants took no reasonable steps to protect Ms. Felber and others.".........
