CB,

We are talking at cross purposes. I'm not defending offensive posters, nor am I defending every instance on campus these days. They are what they are and need to be looked at in specifics and in context.

I'm rather arguing that Lawrence Summers made a mistake when he equated signing a petition which was critical of the Sharon govt's policies in Israel, to make a claim that was anti-semitic. If the pro-Israeli folk wish to stretch the term that far, it loses all meaning.

If I were Jewish, I'd be worried about pograms and Kristal Nacht, myself.

Oh, please, be serious.
