Time to Tell the Truth about the Palestinian Issue

Alan Dershowitz is a liberal. Yet when it comes to Israel, he has it right. In the linked article below from Gatestone Institute, he responds to Michelle Alexander's NYT screed. At one point Alexander writes:
"Similarly, many students are fearful of expressing support for Palestinian rights because of the McCarthyite tactics of secret organizations like Canary Mission, which blacklists those who publicly dare to support boycotts against Israel, jeopardizing their employment prospects and future careers."
Well, what a lot of bologna! In fact in the few years that I've been reading, writing and commenting on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, I've seen quite the opposite. There's no fear in vilifying Israel. It's as common as dirt. And Canary Mission outs the most vile comments against Israel, and especially the Jewish people. If the shoe was on the other foot, people like Alexander would be screaming from rooftops.
