Mohammed Merah, the confessed Toulouse killer, said he wanted to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children. The drumbeat of false accusations that Israel murders Palestinian children is a modern day blood libel in which the media is complicit.

On February 27th , two Israeli soldiers gave a presentation (or tried to) at the University of California, Davis, to correct misconceptions about the IDF. Students from Students for Justice in Palestine, Muslim Student Association, and Jewish Voice for Peace heckled the presenters. 
"One state is enough," a March 4 commentary by an organizer of the discredited Harvard University anti-Israel conference, exemplifies a chronic problem on The Washington Post's Op-Ed page -- hospitality to unrebutted anti-Israel offerings by outside contributors.

On March 3-4, Harvard will host a two-day conference at the Kennedy School of Government focused, in effect, on dismantling the Jewish state of Israel.
