Jewish students at UC Berkeley were able to successfully march and rally on campus Monday just two weeks after violence interrupted a previous gathering. University officials also forced supporters of Palestinian justice to take down tape across Sather Gate.
For weeks, Justice for Palestine supporters have blocked the middle section of Sather Gate with yellow tape. This week the university took it down. And instead, a massive banner was put up. The crowd of 200 Jewish supporters ended up in front of California Hall where faculty members offered their support, commenting on the Feb. 26 disturbance that forced Jewish students to move off campus.
