Jewish UC Berkeley students fight against campus antisemitism

Hundreds of students marched to "Liberate the Gate" in direct response to Sather Gate being blocked by pro-Palestinian protests for the past several weeks.Organizers of the demonstration wanted to convey a resolute message to the university."It's incredible. To have so many people stand with us in wanting to have a safe campus for Jews where we have free speech, like everyone else," said graduate student Hannah Schlacter.

"That's a feeling that I don't know how to describe, but it sends me the message that if I want to be safe, I have to go elsewhere."The university said civil disobedience, such as blocking Sather Gate, does not call for police actions, but if there is violence, campus police will intervene. "What we don't want is a bigger protest, What we don't want is conflict. What we don't want is violence.
