   As Israeli soldiers and Hamas fighters confront one another in a   
   deadly battle over Gaza, an alliance of watchdog organizations   
   asked University of California President Janet Napolitano to   
   monitor the rise of anti-Semitic speech in the nine-campus   
   system, citing “a scathing anti-Semitic statement released by   
   the Union of Student Workers promoting the boycott of Israel.”   
      
   The organizations, including the AMCHA Initiative, the Simon   
   Wiesenthal Center, Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law,   
   Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America and   
   StandWithUs, said they are “deeply concerned with the serious   
   and growing problem of hate-filled rhetoric about Israel that   
   sometimes rises to the level of anti-Semitism on campuses across   
   the country, including at the University of California.”   
      
   Teaching assistants, tutors and other student-workers at the   
   University of California are represented by UAW 2865. The union   
   recently announced its intention to seek a membership vote in   
   support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement   
   against the Jewish State.   
      
   “The Joint Council of the UAW 2865, a body made up of 83 elected   
   officers who oversee the affairs of the 13,000 member-strong   
   student-worker union at the University of California, is   
   publishing this open letter that outlines our intent to support   
   the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.”
