A series of fliers posted on the campus of U.C. Santa Barbara accused Jews of being behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The fliers, which appeared around campus in late September, declared that “9/11 Was an Outside Job,” with a large blue Star of David. The text urged readers to visit websites arguing that the attacks were the result of an international Zionist conspiracy and to Google terms such as “9/11 Was Mossad.”
In a blog posting, Rabbi Evan Goodman, formelry of the Bay Area and now executive director of U.C. Barbara’s Hillel, said that Hillel, university staff and students had taken down the fliers, and that there was no indication that any students or student groups had put them up.
Goodman’s post noted that the first student to take down a flier and bring it to Hillel was a Muslim student leader. — jta
