      U.S. Jewish Leaders Protest Anti-Zionist Student Program


      (IsraelNN.com) A wide range of Jewish groups has protested a program by an elitist school which featured a Jewish anti-Zionist and an Arab. The same school canceled a lecture by two Arabs several weeks ago following protests of the anti-Israel character of the program.

      One of the speakers at the new program is a New York University professor who has written that Israel is a political anachronism. The other is a Columbia University professor who has supported Arab violence and the killing of Israeli soldiers. The school did not allow other speakers to participate in order not to disrupt "a productive discussion."
