The article linked to just above displays symbolic bigotry by capitalizing "black" but not "white". (To avoid endorsing bigotry, capitalize both words or neither one.)

Several human beings and one company that tried to acknowledge the apartheid system of Israel's occupation of Palestine have recently been silenced.

On a side issue raised by the article, people have the right to criticize or to defend Israel's occupation practices; UC Berkeley must respect academic and political freedom by allowing people to present either of those sides (and other sides of the issue as well). We must reject all claims that "presenting a certain political stand is harassment because it makes the campus unsafe for group XYZ," because we cannot accept any excuse to abolish political freedom of speech.
