Needless to say, the perniciuos indoctrination taking place on many university campuses has had a deleterious impact on our schools. Powerline links to a YouTube video, which is a recently-releas
ed documentary of violent demonstrations that took place at Concordia University in Montreal in 2002. The documentary shows the rabid anti-semitism directed at students trying to attend a speech by former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. After the riot, only two students were suspended and none arrested. How were the victims treated? Well, the Israeli student group, Hillel, is banned from the student union and receives no share of the student council budget, while the Palestinian organization receives full benefits and access. Hmm. Seems fair.Unfortunately, this venemous hatred has not abated. Pro-Palestinian students directing violence and intimidatation against others is indicative of the anti-semitism that has been allowed to flourish on many university campuses--where educators (AKA thought reformers) inculcate students with criticism of "Zionism," as an insidious cover for their Jew-hatred.
It's sad when a peaceful anti-Israel protest at Berkeley comes as shocking news.

I used the video "Confrontation at Concordia" in a class I used to teach on preparing Jewish high school studens for possible intimidation on their future campuses. I know that I was caught completely by surprise for the level of violence and antagonization when I got to Cal...
It's cool to hear that they've released it (in part?) on YouTube.
It's sad that there even have to be classes to prepare anyone for intimidation on a university campus. But that is the current state of affairs, unfortunately. Glad to hear you are trying to make a difference.
