What an admirable article. Nobody can be certain what he right thing to do here is, but one thing I know is, if your first response to the events of October 7 was "Go Palestine", something is wrong. Even if you're Palestinian and that was your response, something is wrong. I don't know what to say about the pervasiveness of this instinct in the colleges. I do know that the instinctive response to be against Israel even when the Internet is glutted with visual evidence of the atrocities is about more than a sober weighing up of the situation. On one side, is a group that is openly, unapologetically, in favor of annihilating world Jewry, starting with their neighbors. On the other side is a country with the technological capability to do it in a heartbeat, and does not. When did people of goodwill start cheering for pogroms?
