Based in New York, the Zionist Organization states that with the connivance of the rector Michael Drake (Michael Drake) Muslim Student Union contributes to the spread in Irvine, intolerance, discrimination and violations of civil rights. ”

“We do not ask, University infringe on anyone’s freedom of speech, we are just unhappy with the fact that the rector, for some reason does not use its own freedom of speech – said spokeswoman Susan ZOA Tukhman (Susan Tuchman). – He could publicly denounce abusive and anti-Semitic speech. The Zionists have repeatedly accused the Muslim Student Union of anti-Semitism and support for terrorism, but Muslim activists insist that their activities are aimed solely at supporting the Palestinian people and against the state policy of Israel.
