University Of California Students Chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ After Anti-Israel Vote
Activists waving Palestinian flags reportedly heckled Jewish students at the University of California, Davis, and chanted “Allahu Akbar” during a student government vote last week to call on the school to boycott Israel.
The student government resolution passed 8-2 Thursday and formally recommends the university divest from companies who do business with Israel, such as American companies Caterpillar Inc., G4S PLC, Veolia Environment and Raytheon.
Following the vote, a large group of activists shouted “Allahu Akhbar,” meaning “Allah is [the] greatest,” in unison as pro-Israel students filed out of the U.C. Davis meeting room, according to video provided by a pro-Israel student, the Washington Free hamas-on-campus/” target=”_blank”>Beacon reported.
Azka Fayyaz, a member of the U.C. Davis student senate, gleefully posted on Facebook after the vote that “Israel will fall insha’Allah.”
“Hamas & Sharia law have taken over UC Davis,” she boasted alongside a photo taken at the meeting.
One day after the vote, a fraternity house belonging to the Jewish AEPi organization was defaced with two spray-painted swastikas, which police are reportedly investigating as a hate crime.
