Though Israel May Often Be Deserving Of Criticism, What Is Missing Is The Comparable Criticism Of Equal Or Greater Violations By Other Countries And Other Groups. This Constant, Often Legitimate Criticism Of Israel For Every One Of Its Deviations, When Coupled With The Absence Of Legitimate Criticism Of Others, Creates The Impression Currently Prevalent On University Campuses And In The Press That Israel Is Among The Worst Human Rights Violators In The World....it Is Not True, But If It Is Repeated Often Enough, It Takes On A Reality Of Its Own.

I Fear That The Impact Of University Censorship And University Denial Of Due Process Will Be To Mis-educate A Generation Of Students Away From Core Values Of Civil Liberties And Constitutional Safeguards. Students Who Have Been Led To Believe By University Administrators And Faculty That Censorship And Denial Of Due Process Are Acceptable Norms Will Be More Susceptible To Accepting Those Norms In Their Post-university Lives. That Would Be A Tragedy For America.
