...Furthermore, if we are to find a value in unfettered dialogue, we may not use the process of university registration as a weapon against unpopular groups, even if it means countenancing views which we abhor. Unrecognized groups have few opportunities to sway student opinion--no rallies, no postering in the Yard, no leaflets in front of the Science Center.

High-profile terror attacks have until now been the Islamists most effective weapon against any moves toward peace; they're not unpopular on the Palestinian street, and the rage they generate in Israel creates irresistible political pressure on the Israeli leadership for even tougher action against Palestinians - which in turn simply fuels the anger on the Palestinian street and further weakens Arafat's authority...
