I’m sure the campus is crying now that Danielle Sheldon, self-described Zionist and provocateur, has left UC San Diego to move to Israel. Certainly diplomatic antics, such as pointedly wearing an Israeli Defense Forces shirt to Arabic class, must have ingratiated her with students and faculty.

An LA Times article detailed Sheldon’s maneuverings:

Growing up in Sherman Oaks, Danielle Sheldon described herself as "fiercely Zionist."

The 19-year old grew up speaking Hebrew and wore her politics literally on her sleeve. While attending UC San Diego, she made a point of showing up for Arabic class wearing an Israeli Defense Forces T-shirt.

She first visited Israel three years ago and "felt at home immediately."

On Tuesday, Sheldon came "home" for good.

She was one of more than 200 American and British Jews who arrived in Israel to perform "aliyah" -- assuming Israeli citizenship and committing to a new life in the Jewish state.

"The place I belong most in the world is Israel," said Sheldon, who plans to attend graduate school then focus on a military career specializing in counter-terrorism.

If you were wondering who wrote the book How to Win Friends and Influence People, here’s a hint: not Danielle Sheldon.
