<p>We’ve already decided that my daughter will not be going to Vassar. I know Israel isn’t perfect, but Israel is a heck of a lot better than any other country in the world would be if hostile neighbors had tried for decades to push its people into the sea. Israel would not be in possession of the West Bank if the Arabs had not tried to destroy the country in multiple wars. I guess DMelanogaster did not learn history at Vassar. Most Israelis want to vacate the West Bank. The problem is the fear that the West Bank would turn into another Gaza with daily rounds of rockets aimed at Tel Aviv if the Israelis left. Read this article a friend sent to me and weep. Mondoweiss is a pro-BDS website that spouts anti-Semitic propaganda. Even the author was a little surprised by the bigotry against Jewish students at Vassar he witnessed at a meeting. I will support an open Hillel movement when Muslim groups agree to host Zionists for the purpose of an “exchange of ideas”. Ha, ha, ha. The Vassar prof who invited this reporter to attend a meeting on campus bit off more than she could chew, and the Vassar spokesperson who allowed this reporter to stay at the meeting should loose his/her job: <a href=“Ululating at Vassar: the Israel/Palestine conflict comes to America – Mondoweiss”>http://mondoweiss.net/2014/03/ululating-israelpalestine-conflict.html</a> </p>
