The American Jewish Committee has joined up with the ultra-liberal Association of American University Professors and their liberal boss Cary Nelson to question the application of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students from intimidation and harassment on college campuses.

I never could figure out what this organization was and what they do. I do recall that one of their leading rabbis in Orange County was part of the "establishment team" denying any anti-Semitic problems at UC-Irvine because they were so close to the university administration. As far as I am concerned this outfit has been missing in action at UCI.
Of course, there is a distinction between opposing Israel and hating Jews-for many people. For others, it is all part and parcel of the same steaming pile of feces that is the organized effort to delegitimize Israel on college campuses in favor of the Palestinian cause. It is the biggest factor in the world-wide resurgence in anti-Semitism, yet does anything really think that if Israel goes away, anti-Semitism will disappear?
It's a strong thing to say, especially for a non-Jew, but in my view, there are a lot of modern-day Judenrats out there that are too timid to stand up against anti-Semitism.

They must have read my comments about Title VI posted at Fousesquawk. Glad to see that commenting here has some real value in the world.
Hate crime laws are fundamentally unsound, even when the ones demanding them are Jewish. Apparently, some other Jewish people understand that.
