A chapter of a far-left organization at the University of California<\/a>, Berkeley’s law school capped off a Palestinian Political Prisoners Day earlier this week with a message from a failed suicide car bomber jailed in Israel for eight years.<\/p>\n

UC Berkeley Law Students for Justice Palestine shared a video on its Instagram<\/a> account from convicted attempted car bomber Israa Jaabis, who thanked her western counterparts for supporting her cause.<\/p>\n

“Firstly, I would like to thank [the students] for their attentiveness, for listening with their hearts,” Jaabis said, according to English translated subtitles attached to the video.<\/p>\n

“For many reasons, even their attendance is enough to make us feel \u2014 as liberated Palestinian prisoners \u2014 that there is someone who cares about us.”<\/p>\n

Jaabis was jailed in Israel from 2015 to 2023 after attempting to set off a car bomb during a traffic stop. The incident occurred near an area where Israeli soldiers would often gather and attempt to hitchhike. Both Jaabis and an Israeli officer, Moshe Chen, were severely burned during the terror attack.<\/p>\n

While in prison, Jaabis made headlines<\/a> for demanding cosmetic surgery on her badly scarred face. She was released in November 2023 in a prisoner exchange as the Israeli government attempted to free hostages taken by Hamas militants in the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack.<\/p>\n

“There are those who are in solidarity with us, those who support us and do not abandon us,” Jaabis said in the video.<\/p>\n

“Your attendance \u2014 in particular as law students \u2014 makes us hopeful that there remains some humanity, that there is someone to support us in the future, delivering our message to the international community and amplifying our call to liberate Palestinian prisoners, as well as to liberate societies from servitude and from bigotry which produces populations complicit in perpetrating inhumane laws.”<\/p>\n

Critics on X blasted both the event organizers and UC Berkeley.<\/p>\n

“Berkeley being a leftist cesspool is not something that should surprise you,” said<\/a> one X user.<\/p>\n

“Muslims must be laughing at the insane stupidity of the ‘enlightened’ useful idiots here in the West,” said<\/a> another.<\/p>\n

“This stuff keeps me up at night. I don’t understand how the world just rewrites morality to fit it’s political agenda,” said another.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for UC Berkeley Law said the school’s hands were tied.<\/p>\n

“As a public university, UC Berkeley has a non-discretionary obligation to abide by and support the First Amendment<\/a> in a completely content neutral manner,” Alex Shapiro, assistant dean of communications, said. “We do not have the legal ability to sanction or censor constitutionally protected\u00a0expression.<\/p>\n

“However, as\u00a0UC Berkeley has repeatedly informed the\u00a0student body, if any campus community member feels threatened, they are encouraged to contact the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination. OPHD provides support to those harmed, investigates all allegations, and the campus takes appropriate steps following any findings.”<\/p>\n
