UC Merced professor accused of anti-Semitic tweets not returning for spring semester

UC Merced professor accused of anti-Semitic tweets not returning for spring semester.

News of the professor’s alleged tweets was reported last month by the Jewish News of Northern California.

On Dec. 13, he retweeted something and added the comment, “the Zionists and IsraHell interest have embedded themselves in every component of the American system, media, banking, policy, commerce … just a veneer of serving US interest and population — everyone pretends that is the case.”

Later, the university announced an inquiry into Ghassemi. UC Merced Chancellor Juan Sánchez Muñoz condemned the anti-Semitic tweets in a statement posted Dec. 29 on the university’s website.
