Yes, we should leave alone the business of the Palestinian / Israeli situation. This is a different beast, however.

What I brought attention to is an American situation, the seemingly arbitrary denial, in advance, of any Zionist to speak at a state funded law school.

I describe it as arbitrary because I can't see why pro-regime speakers from other brutally oppressive regimes like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Nicaragua,etc. weren't preemptively banned from speaking, as well. I wouldn't object to Israel being on a list of several countries from whose proponents they don't want to hear, but this singularity is confusing.

Surely Putin, for example, is paying people here to go around praising his work in speeches, a few of his stooges are well known Americans (besides Trump), and yet we hear crickets about that. I also posted a link to an article about pro-Zionists Arabs and asked, facetiously, if they'd be banned as well (obviously they would, but it could make for an interesting, even educational, experience).

What says you?
