My friend and colleague Kenneth Marcus, the former head of the Dept. of Education, Office of Civil Rights, has written another brilliant article on anti-Semitism on our university campuses, which appears on Minding the Campus. It focuses on the lawsuit brought by a Jewish student at UC Berkeley as well as an OCR investigation recently launched at UC Santa Cruz (America's Wackiest University) by a teacher, my friend and colleague, Tammi Rossman-Benjamin.

In my view, it is high time for people to call out the anti-Semites on our campuses. What we are seeing is an example of the international alliance between the pro-Palestinian/Islamists and the far-left, anti-America/Israel activists, which includes radical faculty members and anarchist, no-nothing students. The focal point for all this activity is on our campuses-largely because spineless administrators -and certain spineless Jewish organizations will not confront and stand up to the haters. To them, dialogue is the answer. Nonsense. They are not going to change the minds of those who hate them and want to destroy them.
Kudos to Ms Rossman-Benjamin.
