It's becoming an all too frequent occurrence on our college campuses. Swastikas and anti-Jewish screeds are appearing with increasing regularity. Historically, there have been many reasons for anti-semitism, but I think it's safe to say that the propaganda surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the greatest contributor in the present day. The latest example is this week at California Statue University at Northridge (CSUN). It was accompanied by a shooting threat.
Of course, the school administration is saying all the right things in response, but for years, so many college leaders-including CSUN- have ignored the warning signs. CSUN reacted with sheer indifference when Jewish organizations complained about a math professor using university web servers to communicate his antipathy toward Israel. Should they be surprised when swastikas start appearing on campus?
