The University of California, Berkeley, will offer a course in spring 2025 that describes Hamas as a “revolutionary resistance force fighting settler colonialism.”
According to a screenshot posted by Eyal Yakoby, the course, titled “English Composition in Connection with the Reading of World Literature, Leninism and Anarchism: A Theoretical Approach to Literature and Film,” is set to be offered in spring 2025.
In addition to describing Hamas as a “revolutionary resistance force,” the course description also accuses America of funding “genocide.”
”With the US-backed and -funded genocide being carried out against Indigenous Palestinians by the Israeli Occupying Force, many have found it difficult to envision a reality beyond the one we are living in today. At the same time, we have also seen a rise in global socialist (and in particular Leninist) movements that are actively combating this destructive imperial agenda. From the Hamas revolutionary resistance forces combating settler-colonialism to a continuous anti-imperialist politic by Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuela, China, DPRK, and various Indigenous and First-Nation peoples across the Americas, there continues to be a commitment to anti-imperialism and anti-capitalism...,” states the course description.
The course is displayed on the university’s website, but the description has been removed.
Dan Mogulof, assistant vice chancellor for the UC Berkeley Office of Communications and Public Affairs told Campus Reform the matter is under review.
”The matter is currently under review and the course description has already been changed,” Mogulof said.
Both instructors set to teach the course, Christián Gonzalez Reyes and Harry Mizumoto, signed a letter following spring 2024 protests at UCLA that blames Israel for “all violent struggle that is currently taking place on Palestinian lands.”

NOT ONE CENT in contributions and NO political support for UC until they get some honest respsonsible administrators and stop passing off this kind of lying bullkrap as proper education.
(PS: President Trump promises to have the accreditation of “colleges” like UC revoked for abuses like this. We are contacting him today to help him in this effort. Cleaning up some of these colleges, including PUBLIC TAXPAYER FUNDED schools like UC, WILL be accomplished. We will NOT agree to pay taxes for enemy propaganda substituting for honest academic instruction. No way! Gavin, clean this NOW or we will campaign fulltime against your election to any further public offices. America please take note how Ph*qued up California is ...and how long it takes the governor to get this disgusting abuse OUT of Berkeley!)

arab settler colonialist invaders should return to arabia from which they launched their wars of conquest and leave the Levant to its native Jews and Chriatians.
