Seller, Grupper, et al. are mendacious to the core.

First, they would drape themselves in the mantle of the '60's American Civil Rights movement, which is so inapposite to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of today. They try in order to appropriate the moral authority of that righteous movement and use it for their anti-Israel purposes.

Then, they do not say that they are advocates of economic warfare against the Jewish state, that is Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions of the sort that were used against apartheid South Africa, to whom they maliciously liken Israel. And that is the plain and simple of why Hillel, quite correctly, will not allow any of it's chapters to host them or others of their like.

How come an administrator removes the occasional offensive post, but innumerable "replies" by Crabtree Nick remain up?

Neither Mr. Michaelson, nor the Forward's editors are going to apologize for publishing such arrant crap? They're going to stand by this?

Your wrong with some of those pedigrees. For example, the execrable Amy Goodman's father is a physician, not a rabbi; the rabbi was her maternal grandfather. And Chomsky was not a "red diaper baby," but the son of a respected Zionist and noted Hebrew scholar at Graz College in Philadelphia. Loathsome they all are, however.

"the ban on abortions after 20 weeks—the point where modern medical science has largely rendered fetuses viable outside the womb"

Please tell us what % of fetuses born at 21 weeks are "viable outside the womb" and cite the source you rely on for that number. ("Neo-natologists generally would not provide intensive care at 23 weeks, but would from 26 weeks." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_viability#cite...

"To be sure, Egypt has brought many of its problems upon itself. The military’s toppling of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi was not its finest moment."

What in your opinion was the Egyptian military's finest moment? I don't know, but I know that toppling of the Muslim Brotherhood regime of Morsi was not all that bad a one. Or did you think that substantial good was to be expected from that virulently antisemitic and anti-American Islamist?

What sort of "extremism in the support of liberty," if any, do you think Goldwater might have thought too much or a "vice"? Causing the US to default on its debt?

And if you think Cruz, whose name you bring up, isn't "remotely extreme" or "even close" to "extreme," then why do you count him "foolish"?

Don't the Israelis have sensors that alert them that that these tunnels are being dug? Or 18 meters underground is too deep for them to detect them.

"... the poor optics of the event" Maybe new glasses would help correct your ideologic distortions, this one quite silly, as a number of commenters tried to tell you before.

I can't hear the word "diversity" in the employment context without think of General Casey's response to the massacre at Ft. Hood perpetrated by Nidal Hasan:

"As great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well,"[7] Several months later, in a February 2010 interview, Casey said, "Our diversity not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse."
