PSM Post-Mortem

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.

Had an exhausting day today - Mitchell was being extra-two-years-old. I'll have a PSM roundup tomorrow, in the meantime, here's an article from the Jerusalem Post, courtesy of my sister.
