Jewish students are standing their ground and fighting back.
It's Gaza in the Canadian Rockies on campuses.
While Canadian PM Harper, a true friend of Israel, "gets it," the politically correct students at the University of Calgary do not. They believe that Jewish students deserve to be heckled, silenced, and demonized for trying to tell the truth about Israel.
One of the founders of "Calgary United with Israel" and "Canadians for Human Rights in the Middle East", shared a letter with me that the editor of the student newspaper, The Gauntlet, refused to printin full--even though each and every claim was or could be substantiated.
