As long as we are on the subject of students harassing speakers who are on the wrong side of campus orthodoxy regarding the Middle East: a pro-Israel speaker at the University of Albany was heckled last night with shouts of "End the occupation!" This was one of those rare speakers who only become more eloquent in the face of hostility, however. His response: " 'Don't mess with us. Beware. You attempt to provoke us every time,' he told a protester, who stood with a sign that said 'Free Palestine.' 'When we offer you reason ... you offer us the blood trail of suicide bombings and homicide killings .... We are willing to do our share for peace. We are willing to make painful compromises. ... If you really want a state of your own, then you have to turn around to your own people and say, 'We have to come to terms and reconcile with the Jews.'"
