On May 7, 2002, at San Francisco State University, hundreds of students participated in a ‘Sit in for Peace in the Middle East’ in an attempt to create a discussion about the state of the region. During this protest, pro Palestinian anti protesters circled around the Jewish students, screaming anti-semitic sentiments towards them, such as 'Get out or we will kill you' and 'Hitler did not finish the job. Students complained that police took little action to protect the Jewish students other than to block them from the counter-protestors.

In 2000, at the University of California at Irvine Jewish students complained about anti semitic remarks such as being told to "Go back to Russia where you came from" and being called a "F ing Jew” In 2004, more Jewish students complained of attacks such as a rock being thrown at a student for wearing a shirt with the words "Everybody loves a Jewish boy" on it, and another incident where two students uttered an Arabic phrase which translates as "Slaughter the Jews" to a student wearing a sweatshirt with Israeli and American flags on it. This same student complained that other students called them a “dirty Jew” and attacked them with "threatening language and hurtful ethnic slurs." According to the ADL, many of these incidents were instigated by the Muslim Student Union (MSU) at the university. In 2010, the MSU were suspended for one year by the university for organizing a demonstration for the sole purpose of disrupting a speech given by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren. Since its reinstatement, the MSU has continued inviting questionable speakers such as in May 2012, when they invited Amir Abdul Malik Ali. Ali, in his speech, accused Jews of “orchestrating a financial collapse” and accused UC President Mark Yudof of supporting the “apartheid state of Israel. In addition, in response to a question on whether Israel is the Jewish homeland, Ali responded with “ya’ll came from Europe...you gotta go back.”
