One of the reasons I haven't done the promised PSM roundup is because the Conference and its aftermath were depressingly predictable:
The conference refused to condemn terrorism or suicide bombing.
Protests were mostly peaceful, although a bomb threat was called in on the Bryan Center (the Student Union.)
Israeli policy was equated with apartheid.
I doubt many minds were changed on either side or in the middle.

And finally, Isreallycool has owned the story of the most notable thing to come out of the conference, a nasty, anti-semitic, and annoyingly whiny) op-ed in the Chronicle. Scroll up for his back-and-forth with the author.
