Book Review: College Campuses Quiet, But Anti-Israel Feeling is Growing
(JTA) Joe Eskenazi - It's too quiet on the nation's campuses, San Francisco's Gary Tobin says. As the 800-person rallies of 2002 give way to seven disgruntled socialists shouting into a bullhorn to disinterested lunchtime crowds, it would be foolish to think the problem of anti-Israel behavior on campuses has been whipped, Tobin writes in The UnCivil University, a new publication of his Institute of Jewish & Community Research. The real problem is coming in the classrooms, where holding views strongly critical of Israel is not only politically correct but, increasingly, de rigueur. "We should not let higher education get hijacked like this," said Tobin.
