In California, a significant protest against antisemitism has unfolded, with 34 professors, led by UC Berkeley Professor Ron Hassner, sleeping in their offices across various universities including UCLA, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCSF, and SFSU since March 7. This action, termed #FacultyVigil, aims to highlight and combat rising antisemitism on campuses. Professor Hassner, who began his sit-in on March 7, seeks to delineate the boundary between legitimate political protest and anti-Jewish hate.
