Dan, I wouldn't be quick to label _others_ as an ostrich. How long
did it take _you_ to acknowlege that yes, there _is_ anti-semitism
on college campuses?

It's still not as widespread a problem as you seem to imagine.

Does that mean you have already taken _onne_ eye out of the sand? :-)

No, it means I stick with the facts, not the hysteria. :)

Oy Dan, you're one fellow, living in one city, how can you _possibly_
know what's going on all over the country? not every incident is
going to get reported so you can add it to your "fact list". But if
you see a pattern, if anti-semitic professors are getting tenure, if
mideast "studies" are geared to the Palestinian viewpoint, if Jewish
students are keeping their identies under wraps, then there are
_problems_ in American colleges.


Oy Moshe, you're one fellow, not even LIVING in the country, how can you
*possibly* know what's going on here?
Every incident is blown up out of propertion so you can add it to your
hysteria and imagine there is a "pattern."
If some tenured professor proves to be anti-Israel, if Columbia University
has a problem with pro-Palestinian bias, if you read some unsubstantiated
report that *American Jewish students* are "keeping their identities under
wraps" (and I'm calling your bluff on that charge), then there is
*hystteria* among those who hear reports of problems at *some* colleges.

It is a serious problem at some schools. It is not a majority or even
anywhere near a plurality. That doesn't mean it should be addressed, but it
doesn't mean that it is endemic throughout Ameican academia.
