...hard left at Columbia protesting when the University provost defended an anti-Israel professor who was caught by a camera throwing a rock at an Israeli guardhouse. Nor do I remember (because it didn’t happen) Professor Matory complaining when Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Barak was prevented from speaking at Concordia University by a hard-left anti-Israel crowd of violent censors. For that matter, where was Columbia’s Eric Foner when the leader of the Minutemen was chased off the stage at Columbia by another group of freedom-suppressing hooligans...
...anti-Israel organizations and permit the Israeli flag to fly high from a potential Israeli embassy in downtown Damascus, Assad should visit the land of his mortal enemy. Only by addressing the Knesset, by visiting Yad Vashem, and by shaking hands in public with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, can he demonstrate that his talk is not mere lip service.

Hamas will have a heyday, and say, 'We told you so.' We want to avoid that scenario at all costs." Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert apparently prefers a looser conference agenda, one unlikely to commit to fresh negotiations...
...meantime, Olmert's adversaries, Labor leader Ehud Barak and Benyamin Netanyahu of the conservative Likud party, are not prepared to topple him. Netanyahu is still consolidating his hold on Likud after recent party elections, while Barak is using his post as acting defense minister to convince Israelis that he is no longer the one-time peacemaker who, when he was Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001, was prepared to cut generous deals with Palestinian militants. The newly minted Barak is now wary of any negotiations with Palestinians and wants to impose harsher sanctions on the 1.5 million Palestinians who live...
