...campuses should be a place for ideas and arguments to be exchanged freely. This message has been directed disproportionately at Summers. It should really go to those at Montreal’s Concordia University, whose riot on Sept. 9 ultimately got a speech by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled. Highlights included smashed windows, physical attacks on yarmulke-wearing speech attendees and the detainment of just five of the 1,000 “demonstrators...

While Washington's need for allies on the eve of an Iraq operation may restrain Sharon for now, there's a countervailing pressure in the need to look tougher-on-Arafat than his arch-rival in the Likud Party primary race, former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to Haaretz, however, the U.S. may have provided some political cover for Arafat against the rightwing backlash led by Benjamin Netanyahu - Sharon reportedly told his cabinet that in exchange for letting Arafat go free, the Bush administration would support Israel in its confrontation with the United Nations over the Jenin fact-finding mission.
