Prepping Campuses for Anti-Israel Surge

Rachel Brand October 16, 2003

When Ross Neihaus exited his chemistry class three days after the start of UCLA\’s fall quarter, he saw the words \”Anti-Zionist and Proud\” scrawled in chalk on the wall of an adjacent building. Such a statement coming so early in the quarter was a surprise to the fourth-year biology major, but not a shock.

\”I expect this to be my toughest year in college,\” said Neihaus, the president of Bruins for Israel, UCLA\’s pro-Israel group. \”We are concerned that what will be said this year will be nastier, more radical and essentially more anti-Semitic.\”

James D July 29, 1999

First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton touched all the Jewish and pro-Israel bases and avoided treacherous curve balls during a Tuesday appearance before more than 2,100 delegates at Hadassah\’s 85th national convention in Washington.
In a speech laced with nods to the Jewish community\’s core issues, including Jerusalem, terrorism and anti-Semitism at home and abroad, the all-but-announced candidate for the Senate from New York appealed to what political scientists say is her Jewish political base — Upper West Side liberals, Westchester soccer moms and pro-Israel moderates.
