New Hillel Leadership Takes a Refreshing Turn

Hat tip to Jewish Press and JJ

As I have learned to my great disappointment, many of the Hillel chapters on university campuses don't have the stomach to stand up to the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic bullying tactics of pro-Palestinian activists. Several chapters seem more interested in "dialogue" with those who wish to wipe out Israel. Oft times, that group includes those who follow the thinking of Jewish misfits like J Street and more insidiously, Jewish Voice for Peace. Now Hillel has a new leader, and his message is that if you don't support Israel, don't expect support from the national organization. It is a welcome development.

It is always frustrating when people try to counter or bring attention to anti-Semitic problems on a campus only to be thwarted by Hillel and other so-called Jewish groups who don't want to make waves or let bad publicity get out about the particular campus lest Jewish students decide to study elsewhere.
