...busy fighting the “good fight:” against Israel, while those harbingers of democracy and human rights like Iran, Sudan, North Korea, and Russia are left relatively free to continue their oppressive and even criminal policies. A more balanced debate about Israel rather than knee-jerk condemnation will lead to better informed and better educated citizens of the world, surely a goal to which Harvard aspires...
