If you are looking for an expert speaker to talk about what is really going on in our universities, I heartily recommend Dr Richard Cravatts of Boston University. I am attaching all the information you need to know about Dr Cravatts. I consider him an ally in the war on campus indoctrination especially in regards to the topics of Israel and anti-Semitism.

The University's Jihad Against
Israel & Jews"
A virulent "new" anti-Semitism comes to campus under the guise of anti-Israelism
Richard L. Cravatts
A Dangerous Radicalism Threatens Universities
"The University's Jihad Against Israel & Jews" is the topic of the research and writing of Dr. Richard Cravatts, which explores the growing phenomenon of Israel-hatred and covert anti-Semitism on college campuses, based on his forthcoming book by the same name.
Fomented by extreme Left-wing institutes, funded by Saudi money, and led by some professors with a barely-hidden intolerance for even the continued existence of the Jewish state, the new anti-Semitism, parading as anti-Zionism, poses deep and worrying threats to Israel and those who recognize the viability of this Western-style democracy in the Middle East. It also constitutes a rising threat to the United States: for the most devious of the new anti-Semites, including radical Muslim student groups on campus, have, as their main agenda, critiquing Israel as a way of destabilizing the Middle East and reducing the power and positive influence of the United States and undermining Western institutions.
Tracing the birth of this new strain of virulent anti-Israelism to the Left's obsession with "Palestinianism" and a corresponding loathing of Israel as a colonial oppressor, the lectures also reveal how a destructive "unholy alliance" has been formed between those liberals who seek social justice for the Palestinians and Islamists, and those who seek to destroy Israel as part of a broader jihadist strategy and now find the Left as an ally against a common enemy: Israel. On campuses worldwide the result has been a corruption of true scholarly debate about the Middle East and an intellectual rot that has settled in as a result of politicized scholarship in Middle East studies programs, and anti-Israel bias in publications, conferences, and annual hate-fests sponsored by radical groups for the purpose of vilifying, demonizing, and eventually eliminating Israel from the community of nations.
In addition, Jewish students increasingly feel physically and psychologically inimidated on their own campuses, and face repeated condemnation by pro-Palestinian activists, faculty, and other students. Anti-Semitic graffiti, physical violence, threats, and accusations against Jewish students for being the "new Nazis," among other slanders, have increasingly occured on college campuses in the name of pro-Palestinian activism.
Dr. Cravatts's important speech exposes the threat posed by the new anti-Semitism in detail, and then offers some concrete solutions to help bring American and Canadian campuses back to a balanced and level-headed discussion of Israel and to expose the dangerous agenda of campus radicals. Only by knowing the serious threat that has been growing in intensity on campuses can the tide be turned, and will the next generation of students be able to understand, in a fair and accurate way, the unfolding dynamics of one of the world's most explosive regions.

Gee, if people didn't buy this stuff, he'd be out a lot of lucrative speaking fees. I guess that's why he pushes it.
Siarlys,
Cravatts knows what he is talking about.
He does? What you've posted here leaves the hypothetical reasonable observer with the impression he's put together a collection of platitudes that will play well to the audience he seeks speakers fees from. What gives you the notion that he knows what he is talking about? (Aside from the fact that his platitudes resonate with your own sense of the world).
