Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine have been exposed again, and now face disciplinary hearings, as well as legal charges.
Leaders of SJP in Berkeley falsely accused a student of instigating a fight. (Not coincidently, the student was a leader in a campus Zionist group) One student, Dina Omar claimed she was gropped and was the victim of a hate crime, yet the videotape clearly exonerates the accused, and calls into question Dina's version of the story.
As many students have expressed, the entire incident was simply an attempt to surpress the pro-Israel voice on campus.
John Moghtader,the accused student and member of the Zionist Group, Tikvah showed the video to ASUC Attorney General Michael Sinanian , said he plans to file a libel suit against Dina Omar over her statements to police about the altercation and written statements printed in The Daily Cal and ASUC voter's guides.
