A Berkeley Law professor assaulted a law student as she was speaking up about UC Berkeley’s ties to Israel’s genocide in Gaza at a dinner on the final night of Ramadan. The institution has over $2 million invested in weapons companies that supply Israel.

UC Berkeley professor Ron Hassner kicked off a sit-in protest 9 days ago, in response to the university administrators’ neglect in protecting Jewish students. On day 9, I had the chance to meet him and a group of Jewish students on the UCB Campus.  The brazen anti-Jewish environment on this campus is absolutely disgusting & totally unacceptable!

Gerbrand Ceder, professor of materials science and engineering and senior faculty scientist at Berkeley Lab, is moving his research into a new space – quite literally. 

Berkeley Lab’s A-Lab automates synthesizing materials that have been designed computationally, dramatically speeding up a typically slow and laborious process. According to Ceder, not only is this a potential game-changer for battery research, but this new approach may mark the biggest innovation in materials research in the last 70 years.

In the wake of 10/7, the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Ivy League universities have been taking heat for campus anti-Semitism. That has also been going on at UC Berkeley, once known as a bastion of free speech. Consider the case of Dan Kalb, an Oakland city councilman and climate activist.

On November 21, Kalb was slated to address undergraduates in an Environmental Problem Solving course, a class he had addressed before. This time, pro-Hamas students responded with a letter stating:

As an Oakland City Council member with a platform advocating for environmental and social justice, affordable housing, and universal access to health care, among other things, it is utterly disappointing and hypocritical for someone of your esteem to be in support of the apartheid state of Israel and the current and ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Students attacked Kalb for his “active role in retweeting and spreading pro-Israeli propaganda, which often equates pro-Palestinian voices as ‘anti-Semitic.’” The letter made no mention of Hamas atrocities, now acknowledged even by the New York Times. Adjunct professor Kurt Spreyer, instructor of the course, told Kalb the students might disrupt the class, so it was better that he not appear.

“If someone wants to go speak about climate change — they are an expert on climate change — what the hell does Israel or Zionism have to do with that?” Kalb told the Jewish News of Northern California. “Why not put a yellow star on our sleeve? How about we do that too?”

Kalb had been “condemning the murderous Hamas terrorists repeatedly,” and in his view “Hamas must be unequivocally condemned and, if possible, dismantled so this never happens again.” When Kalb saw people denying evidence of Hamas atrocities, he said, “That’s not anti-Zionism. That’s anti-Semitism,” and that problem “apparently is not exclusive to the law school.” In fact, UC Berkeley is being sued by Jewish groups and students over “longstanding, unchecked spread of anti-Semitism.”

UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof has apologized to Kalb, telling the California Globe that “what happened in this class is not consistent with the university’s values” and “instructors are not supposed to rescind invitations for classroom speakers based on student disagreement with the speakers’ views.” Provost Benjamin Hermalin plans to use the Kalb case as “an opportunity to engage the community in a discussion about the importance of diversity of perspective and the dangers of censorship of any sort.”

For Glenn Ricketts of the National Association of Scholars, the apology was “the least they can do, indeed a requirement of basic decency.” On the other hand, the incident “indicates how far down the slope we’ve descended.”

"In a midnight operation, hundreds of police officers descended on People’s Park in Berkeley, California, to clear out the activists and unhoused campers occupying the area, to make way for the construction of a housing complex for students.

By dawn, the park that was once the centre of the 1960s antiwar and counterculture movement was walled off with shipping containers and surrounded by police."

Bears Dominate #1 Navy On Homecoming

Cal Handles Midshipmen 47-24 In 2023 National Title Rematch

BERKELEY – Less than a week after beating Utah on the road and clinching another PAC title, California rugby put up a dominant 47-24 win over top ranked Navy, handing the Midshipmen their first loss of the season. The Golden Bears scored seven tries and two penalty kicks whilst holding Navy to only three tries and one penalty kick.   "We appreciate the Navy team, they have been on a significant run of well-earned victories and success. They are a well put together team," Cal head coach Jack Clark said. "I loved how determined our boys were today. We took our share of the lumps, but we fronted the challenge."     The Bears and the Mids traded possession over the first 10 minutes with neither team lighting up the scoreboard. Cal was on the attack and worked its way to five meters out from the goal-line. The forwards grinded out a couple of attacking phases before scrumhalf Solomon Williams swung it out to Joe Kirsten on the right wing who shot right into the tryzone with a score for the Bears. Kealan O'Connell converted to make it 7-0 and give Cal a lead it would never relinquish.     Williams added his name to the scoresheet just five minutes later when he stepped his way past a few Navy defenders for the Bears' second try of the day, and O'Connell added the extras. A few minutes later, the Bears then were awarded a penalty and opted for points off a penalty kick conversion to make it 17-0 in favor of Cal.

Eight minutes passed before the next scoring phase when Bears won an attacking lineout and Williams received the ball from Cal's jumper. He spotted a small gap between the Navy defense and took off running for Mids territory. He made it well past the 22-meter mark and offloaded to a supporting Hugo Schreuder who carried it in for a try, which O'Connell converted.   Navy was on the attack after the restart and worked its way to the goal-line, but Cal's stout defense held the Mids up to deny them a try. The two teams traded possession for the rest of the half, before Navy dotted down its first score of the day, and converted successfully to make it 24-7 at the intermission.   After the break, Navy made its way into scoring position and tried to pick-and-jam its way in for another score, but Cal's defense remained solid and denied the Mids another try at the goal-line. A few minutes later, Navy was back in the Bears' territory and scored a converted try to begin closing the gap.   After the restart, Cal was awarded another penalty and took points off O'Connell's boot. He sent the ball sailing between the posts to extend the Bears' lead. Navy put up a converted penalty kick a few minutes later, but the Bears answered quickly with Mack Fell finding the tryzone and dotting down another Cal score.   The Bears then scored two tries within two minutes, first sending the ball into the tryzone in the arms of Evan Weigold on the left wing. After the restart, the Bears recovered the ball and swung it out to Kirsten on the right side. He turned on the jets and outran the Navy defenders to carry in his second try of the day.   Navy managed to collect one more converted try at the 76 minute mark, but Cal had the last word with Oliver Newall finding space and outrunning all of Navy's defenders to carry in one more try for the Bears. With its win today, Cal improves to 10-2 on the season.  

Scoring Timeline: 12:00 – Joe Kirsten 5, Kealan O'Connell 2 17:00 – Solomon Williams 5, Kealan O'Connell 2 20:00 – Kealan O'Connell 3 28:00 – Hugo Schreuder 5, Kealan O'Connell 2 40:00 – Navy 5, Navy 2 Half: Cal 24, Navy 7 49:00 – Navy 5, Navy 2 55:00 – Kealan O'Connell 3 59:00 – Navy 3 62:00 – Mack Fell 5 72:00 – Evan Weigold 5 74:00 – Joe Kirsten 5 76:00 – Navy 5, Navy 2 78:00 – Oliver Newall 5 Final: Cal 47, Navy 24

In the reserve-grade match contested prior, Cal's squad beat the Saint Mary's reserves 73-29.
