As they hosted factually challenged programs to coincide with “Israel Apartheid Week,” college campuses across North America achieved new heights of intellectual vacuity and sophistry. On campus after campus, malicious ideologues were given license to demonize Israel by advancing the canard that the Jewish State engages in apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. That such claims cannot be supported by a shred of objective evidence and could constitute libel and slander if hurled against nonpublic figures and entities is irrelevant to the hate mongers who utter them. Instead, these thugs and bullies are secure in the knowledge that the institutions providing them their platform are not generally interested in constructive dialogue. Despite being subjected to gross intimidation, Israel’s supporters are often discouraged from responding out of false concern for preserving public order. Speech in these venues is free when used to pillory Israel, but apparently not when used to defend her or to inject historical perspective and honesty. People sitting on the sidelines often ask why anybody should care what happens in the ivory tower; it does not affect their daily lives or interfere with their personal business. Why indeed? Those who are ambivalent or who, through benign ignorance, believe there may be some truth to the Arab narrative need only look to the recent display of anti-Israeli and antisemitic invective at Toronto University to understand the danger.
