Leftists Melt Down Over Failure of UCLA Israel Boycott Resolution

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On February 26, 2014 @ 4:34 pm In The Point | 37 Comments

The BDS movement is one long hysterical tantrum of hatred and self-righteousness.


The UCLA Student Council rejected a resolution to divest from companies that do business with Israel, including Hewlett Packard, frustrating its sponsors Elizabeth Naameh, Armen Hadjimanoukian, and Omar Arce.

The Legal Insurrection video of Danielle Dimacali, a student notetaker having a meltdown went viral after the event after at which point the Google Hangout session abruptly ended probably to spare her any further embarrassment. Danielle Dimacali began by saying that she rarely speaks at these events and the rest was tears and recriminations.

In the comments section at the Daily Bruin, Danielle Dimacali accused critics of “obvious blatant racist microaggression”.

I must have never learned civility? Am I supposed to remain submissive? No, I just know when to stand up for what I believe in and what I believe is right. I will not silence myself or censor my language to make you feel more comfortable.

For the record, my job ends after the meeting has been adjourned. I used to consider good and welfare as a safe space for dialogue with the council members, some of those who I consider my closest friends. I am just as justified as getting impassioned over something as the public commenters. The heat of the moment and the intense emotions I felt led to the deluge of tears and strong diction. How dare you call me uncivil, you don’t even know me outside of my reaction to something I found extremely upsetting.

Later Danielle claimed that she was reacting to how upset her friends were and wasn’t against Israel.

Twitter was full of equally vocal meltdowns by BDS supporters upset that their latest racist assault on the Jewish State had fallen short of its goals.
