Lesson from Past for Anti-Israel One-State Conference
This weekend, Harvard’s Kennedy School is playing host to a “One-State Conference” that will focus on, to borrow a phrase, wiping the Jewish state off the map.

In a comment to a previous Snapshots post, Michael Segal brings to light the following ad, published in the November 12, 1975 Harvard Crimson and endorsed by prominent faculty and 700 students, slamming the “singling out for condemnation” of “the national liberation movement of the Jewish people.”
