>Your humble correspondent is an eager supporter of Israel (not of its recent Covid policies, of course) but it is perhaps unsurprising that she considers the topic more important than I do. It has surely been true for decades that the haters of Israel were increasingly promoting their bigotry and anti-civilization bias as a virtue while they were robbing the supporters of Israel of their freedom of speech. The alliances may be different outside the Academia (I am sure that some of you primarily imagine "Jewishness" to be a leading driving force behind the new left and globalism etc.) but make no mistake about it: the anti-Israel pogroms are an inseparable element of the spectrum of far left rituals at the U.S. universities
