From Haaretz:
`Demon Israel' and the ivory tower

Sigh!! It's those demonic kids from the sixties back again. Please.

The methodology is familiar to the point of sadness: let's just take an incident or two, which might or not might not have occured the way the writer portrays (incidentally, that's standard procedure for these kinds of attacks on the academy, take a portion of the incident, treat it as the whole incident), then let's generalize our account to all of academia. And we have whatever demonic conception of learning one wishes to push.

The Thernstroms were pretty good at it until better conceptions of the events chased them out the public eye.

No doubt there will be others.

attacks on Israel in academia stem from the fact that "the students who demonstrated against the Vietnam War are now about 50, and they dream of a return to the glory days when anti-American positions were considered bon ton.

I sure hear the "echoes" of this here. :^)
