Duke University is hosting a Palestinian solidarity conference Friday organized by a group that refuses to condemn terrorism, urges the flooding of Israel with millions of Palestinian refugees to dissolve its Jewish character, and calls on the public to divest from Israel.
The Palestinian Solidarity Movement, allied with the controversial International Solidarity Movement, an organization that openly supports Hamas and calls for the destruction of Israel, is holding its conference to "put pressure on the Israeli government, partly by urging universities to sell their stock in companies with military ties to Israel."

How very September 10th of them.
When I saw this headline I said to myself "what is that nut David Duke up to now?". This just goes to show you how extreme some members of the left in academia have become.
This is a disgrace!
The left is anti-Semitic like their Communist and Nazis bretherens.
Time for Blue Devil alumni to start raising hell!
Isn't that government policy?
There are people on the left and right who are anti-Semitic, just as there are folks on the left and the right who are anti-Israel. Sometimes they are the same but not always.
What's with all the Jewish bait this week?
I agree. Personally I don't think it's entirely about religion, because the Christian and Muslim population in Palestine unite against a common foe, Israel. It has everything to do with anti-Semitism.
Isn't something similar going on also in California universities? In one high school (I forgot which one) students were required to act out being Muslims.
There are right-wingers who are anti-Semitic, but they are not as vocal as the left.
That is just patently silly; have you ever heard of Aryan Nation?
I have heard of the Aryan Nation. They lost their power few years ago when they got sued or something like that. Their founder, Richard Butler died recently, so it is over.
Generic skinheads?
Skinheads are not just confined to Aryan Nations. There are lots of skinheads who don't belong to groups you mentioned. I have not seen a skinhead in years, probably since elementary school. There were rumors of skinheads at my elementary school, but I never saw them. I hear they held a kid at knife point.
David Duke?
David Duke has now sided with the Muslims because of anti-Semitism.
Do you consider him to be right of center and perhaps loud?
