Perhaps it is on specific campuses. But I've been seeing more and more reports of incidents happening on campuses where pro-Israel students or students from Israel, or Jewish students, were equated with Hitler, accused of killing Palestinians, etc. Add to that editorials like the one at Duke University (the same campus where the Palestine Solidarity Movement, an organization that supports terrorism, was allowed to hold a conference), and you get a trend that makes me nervous at best.
It's the use of the same arguments that are touted in the Protocols of Zion and other examples of anti-Semitic literature, by people who are professors at Columbia and Duke University, that make me leery. Somehow it is now "pc" to equate Israel with the Nazis, whether the facts support this equation or not -- Yet the Palestinians are seen as being lily white or excused from any responsibility. And that's (potentially) the start of a bigger problem -- the systematic demonization of Jews, starting with the demonization of Israel. Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry C.
