Palestinian Stealth Jihad

I recently saw Palestinian/American author Rashid Khalidi on PBS's Charley Rose. What I found disturbing was his statement "We (Palestine) are winning the debate. The Palestinian story is what's being heard on campus. Even Jewish youth are supporting the Palestinian version".

I don't think it's a secret that the Palestinian/Arab version of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is becoming, if it hasn't already become, the accepted version. This is due to the huge influx of Arab oil money endowing chairs at most US universities. Add this to the near universal hate of Israel by the lefties that dominate the college social sciences.

Mr Khalidi and his fellows are of course entitled to their opinions. Not their own facts. But the troubling part IS the number of young Jews who are anti-Israel. If you doubt, remember the pro Palestinian behaviour at UNC Chapel Hill and Penn State Hillel's.
