Celebrating Israeli independence

web.ns.israel.picA_t820.jpgI wrote a lot of stupid things when I was at UCLA, so I am not without sin. But this gaffe from today's Daily Bruin ranks up there with Tommy Thompson's Jews-love-money comment:

Bruin Plaza was taken over on Tuesday by hundreds of students draped in the blue and white Israeli flags celebrating the country’s 59th independence day.

I assume the reporter didn't intend to imply that UCLA's Jewish students were marching in like a caravan of Israeli settlers. But it's difficult to not read it that way.
