Susan Tuchman, chief counsel of the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and recent UCI graduate Phil Schlesinger will be speaking a Temple Bat Yahm in Irvine about the increased anti-semitism at UC Irvine these past few school years. More specifically it will be a public briefing of student experiences with this problem and the complex legal issues involved. Below is the information about the event.
The Battle to Protect the Rights of
Jewish Students at UCI
Address by two who have fought this battle on the UCI Campus and before the U.S. Department of
Education's office for Civil Rights.
Susan Tuchman, Director of the Zionist Organization of
America's Center for Law and Justice, led the legal
battle on behalf of Jewish students before the Office of Civil Rights and was a panelist at a public briefing on "Campus
Anti-Semitism" before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
Phil Schlesinger, a recent UCI graduate, saw and
experienced the anti-Semitism first hand, called on the UCI
administration to respond, and reported his experiences to the Office for Civil Rights and the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

I love Susan Tuchman! Thanks for posting this. I wish I could make it.
Ironically, I just posted the article below on ARB before I read your post:

I linked yours once I read it.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that the Air Force Academy alter a panel of speakers slated for a terrorist symposium this week, saying it’s an unbalanced presentation dominated by anti-Muslim speakers. But recently, and for at least the third time, federal prosecutors have called out CAIR as part of a covert Muslim Brotherhood effort in the United States. First, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas-support trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). CAIR was listed among “entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee.” Then, when the group petitioned to remove its name from that list, prosecutors said such relief “will not prevent its conspiratorial involvement with HLF, and others affiliated with Hamas, from becoming a matter of public record.”
Now, in a federal court filing from December, federal prosecutors have described CAIR as “having conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists.” The government also stated that “proof that the conspirators used deception to conceal from the American public their connections to terrorists was introduced” in the Dallas Holy Land Foundation trial last year and the Chicago trial of the Hamas men in 2006.
The government also stated that another organization, the Muslim American Society (MAS) was “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.” This appears to be the first time the US government has officially described the true origins and ulterior agenda of the Muslim American Society.
