Brandeis Brownshirt Talia Lepson Hurls Crude Insults at Pro-Israel Student

Posted on | April 28, 2014 | 77 Comments

Talia Lepson (@tlepthechamp on Twitter) is a Brandeis University sophomore “majoring in Politics and minoring in Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence Studies” who describes herself as an “avid MSNBC viewer.” In case you forgot the recent campus controversy:

Understanding the radical climate at Brandeis — where a freedom fighter like Aayan Hirsi Ali is unwelcome — what sort of attitude would you expect a left-wing sophomore at this campus to exhibit?

A top J Street leader at Brandeis University harassed a pro-Israel student activist early Saturday morning, calling the student a “shit bag” and telling him that “Jews hate you,” according to those who witnessed the incident.
Daniel Mael was walking to his dorm room on the university’s campus late Friday night when he encountered Talia Lepson, a J Street U Brandeis board member, who purportedly referred to Mael as a “shit bag” and angrily told him “Jews hate you.”
“I don’t feel comfortable on campus knowing people will lob verbal insults at me simply because we disagree,” said Mael, who has filed an incident report with the Brandeis police over what he described at the “uncivil environment that is developing on campus and the attempts to isolate students with differing opinions.”
The incident is just one of several at Brandeis lately in which pro-Israel students have come under fire for their attempts to defend the Jewish state on campus from groups such as J Street.
Mael said that he and a friend were returning to their dorm rooms at around 12:45 a.m. on Saturday when he came across Lepson — who says she currently works as a political intern at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — and a group of her friends.
“As they approached, Talia Lepson give me a really, really intense stare and then I turned to the students and said, ‘Shabbat shalom,’” said Mael, who is an observant Jew. “I was being serious. I thought that religion and politics are not necessarily intertwined. I thought you could still be nice.”
Lepson “responded by saying, ‘Jews hate you’,” Mael said. “As she continued to walk, she screamed, ‘You are a shit bag.’”

Daniel Mael (@DanielMael on Twitter) writes for Ben Shapiro’s Truth Revolt site, which reports how Talia Lepson boasted about her radical activism with the far-left group J Street:

Throughout this past academic year, I have served as Political Director of J Street U Brandeis. While serving as Political Director, I have led a delegation of Brandeis students to lobby Senators Warren and Markey against the Kirk-Menendez bill; have co-moderated a panel discussion with Lara Friedman, Director of Policy and Governmental Relations for Americans for Peace Now; and assisted in creating and leading a weekly meeting on AIPAC’s withdrawal of support for the Kirk-Menendez bill. In my spare time, I enjoy discussing politics and going on rants against the patriarchy.

Cultivating a climate of totalitarian terror on campus is the mission of the academic Left, and the shrieking hatefulness of Talia Lepson is evidence of how well they have succeeded in that mission.

    Anyone who describes themselves as an “avid MSNBC viewer” already has terminal brain damage.

    These days, prospective employers use Teh Google to research job applicants, and now they will discover that the lovely Miss Lepson, with her major in Politics and minor in Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence Studies will be perfectly qualified to say, “Would you like fries with that?”

    Well, maybe not even that. In response to a polite greeting, Miss Lepson responded with sufficient bile to generate a complaint to the police. She is now a potential hostile work environment, in case the restaurant in question happens to have Jooooos working there, and can you imagine what would happen if a customer came in with an Israeli flag t-shirt?

    “I’m sorry, Miss Lepson, but that position has already been filled. We do wish the the best of luck in your ongoing job search.”

    One also has to wonder if she will be able to continue as a “political intern” with the Democratic National Committee. American Jews are the second most loyal Democratic voting demographic, and they donate more to Democratic candidates than do other groups. Miss Lepson is the kind of publicity which costs the DNC donations.

    It is frequently difficult for young men to learn that pretty women can be evildoers or just plain batsh*t crazy.

    Many thanks to Talia Lepson as an, er, object lesson.

    I thought all lefty chicks were ugly? Or at least according to angry, male conservatives. Apparently not in this case.

    Who cares if I forgot the apostrophe, you pedantic pinhead! I’m not writing a novel! And J-Street is a pro-Israel group. Or is destroying Palestine a prerequisite to being Jewish? I suppose so for neoconservatives.

    Asshead.

    And Bundy is a racist, scofflaw, which makes the perfect spokesman for teabaggers.

    Boo freakin’ hoo. She’s an evil, nasty bigot. But keep on defending her; I’m sure she’ll reward any beta male for defending against a bunch of wing nuts.

    Recall, in 1970, King Hussein killed most of the Palestinians residing in Jordan proper, because the PLO tried to destabilize his country. Another inconvenient bit of history the Left tries to forget. The “Black September” organization of Munich Olympics fame was based on that, not anything the Israelis did. Of course, in the twisted logic of the Arabs, that meant they had to slaughter Israeli athletes.

    Then, had the Israelis done the right thing in 1967, and expelled all of the Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria, and pushed them into Jordan, King Hussein would have solved the Palestinian problem forever.

    That’s being snarky, but it isn’t snark to say that the Israelis should have expelled all of the Arabs. It would have been horribly cruel and harsh, but it would have left Israel with more land, with shortened and more defensible borders, and the Palestinians would have had to have assimilated into Jordan, Syria and Lebanon; the problems we are seeing today would be over.

    Alas! Israel could have done that in 1967 or 1968, but the window of opportunity to do that has long been closed.

    Perhaps Mr Mael really is a wimp, or perhaps he did it because this was just the final straw, or perhaps he did it to harm Miss Lepton’s career prospects, something he has done even if he fabricated the whole thing.

    I, of course, am perfectly happy to see the career prospects of people like Miss Lepton destroyed, even if it is through a false allegation. 🙂

    I mentioned on another thread, the dirty secret for the anti-Israel Left, is that there have always been Israeli Arabs (not just Druze) with full civil rights. (They are exempt from serving in the military if they wish.) There are Arab MPs in the Knesset. They are uniformly horrified by the thought of being under the thumb of Fatah or Hamas. For example, for years, Nazereth had an Arab communist mayor who was rather prominent in Israeli politics.

    A thread about “assaults”? You mean, a Jewish girl calling a Jewish male a “shitbag?” And what kind of little pussy is he that he has to whine about it to campus police? And what kind of wimp are you to call that “assault”? And FYI, half wit, he brought up MSNBC, and the truth is Fox is worse by far.

    They do teach the “special” people majoring in Poli Sci how to inject Fox News into a thread.

    And chumplett, McCain brought up MSNBC because the dingbat you’re defending lists MSNBC as her number one interest in life. Try to keep up.

    You know, Pajama Boy. They also teach you “special” Poli Sci majors that if you change your nick every post, you win the thread.
