Swastikas at Columbia

It has happened yet again. A Jewish teacher at Columbia University who teaches Holocaust history has had her office vandalized with swastikas.

We don't know who is responsible. I have added my own comment to the Columbia Spectator story (which apparently was not accepted). Again, without attributing blame, it is ironic that Columbia not only has been identified as a hostile campus for Jews in the past several years, but it is also home to one of the most controversial Middle East Studies programs in the US. It is hardly surprising that something like this would happen at Columbia. The university has a problem whether their administration wants to admit it or not.
