On Israel, divestment and double standards

By: Charles C. Johnson 5/1/2013 06:29 AM
The glaring double standard at play in campus discourse about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was highlighted yet again this past week when a Southern California liberal arts college president forced an Israeli professor to apologize for a comment he made to a Palestinian student at an anti-Israel protest.
What exactly happened around dinnertime on March 4 is a matter of some dispute, but here’s what we do know. Claremont McKenna College professor Yaron Raviv attempted to enter the dining hall when Najib Hamideh, a Palestinian student at nearby Pitzer College demanded to see his I.D. as part of a street theater protest by the anti-Israel group Students for Justice in Palestine.
Raviv refused and, according to him, told Hamideh that he was impeding access to the dining hall. Hamideh threatened him, saying, “I will hunt you down.” Raviv, replied by calling him a “f—ing cockroach.” Hamideh, for his part, denies threatening Raviv…… To Read More.....
My Take - One thing has become clear since the radicals took over university campuses all over the nation in the 60's and forced them to teach crap, put up with crap and be a part of the crap …..Or else….. it gave the leadership in colleges clarity.  The leadership on America’s campuses will glady....and bravely.....stand up for those who are willing to be the most violent radicals on campus, no matter the consequences…..to others. 
It’s bad enough these kids are propagandized with every left wing nut job idea that ever came down the pike, and now come out of college dumber than when they went in, but worse yet,  they are now being trained to be cowardly.  Unless of course they are standing up for those who are by nature and culture remarkable violent to anyone who disagrees with them.  The Black Panthers of the 60’s trained the intelligentsia of academia well.  Now there are no hate filled violent radicals they are afraid to stand up for.  No wonder they hate Republicans, Christians, Jews, whites, conservatives and Americans in general.  They don't threaten to kill them.  However, they do have the power to stop making contributions to these places of intellectual degradation.
