I do think we are going to see MUCH less propagandaizing, MUCH less Jew-hatred (publicly)

Sadly, you are wrong. See Israel's violent history in yesterday's CavDaily (University of Virginia) which begins:

This Wednesday will pass like any other for most students on Grounds. But for a few here in our safe utopia of Charlottesville, the date of April 9 carries the stigma of tragedy. Wednesday will mark the 55th anniversary of a the massacre of hundreds of Palestinian civilians by Jewish terrorist organizations in the small, peaceful town whose name has become synonymous with Israeli terror -- Deir Yassin. Although some Israeli organizations still stubbornly persist in grotesquely denying the reality of the massacre, most people throughout the world recognize it for the catastrophe it was, fitting of a day of remembrance, and symbolizing 55 years of shameful Israeli oppression against a weaker, impoverished native population. I hope students take a moment on Wednesday to soberly reflect on the harsh realities of the Zionist occupation and the damage it has wrought and question why the United States continues to support it.

It was accompanied by this delightful drawing:

I view UVa as a fairly balanced University community. I read their paper pretty regularly and sometimes comment to the editor or the columnists. I was so shocked (and saddened) by this article that I found myself unable to comment.

I never viewed UVA that way. But it will take time. It isn't going to happen overnight. Much---not all, but much---of the anti-Americanism on campus isn't from students at all, but from faculty.
