Swarthmore and Leftism

Swarthmore appears to be a very interesting, intellectual school that I am deeply considering. Like most colleges in the northeast it’s very liberal, which is expected and in many ways is a very good thing. However, I’m worried about the pervasiveness of anti-Israel sentiment in the college (in light of the recent divestment campaign) and student/professor’s tolerance of non-leftist ideas. Would Swarthmore be a friendly place for an opinionated, yet open minded, Zionist moderate?

Thanks
