Demonization of the Jewish State of Israel

SEE HERE Anti-Semitic propaganda at Northeastern in Boston is the subject of this video. I suppose you could say that Israel is not above criticism, but you also have to question how a state should treat organizations that shoot thousands of rockets into its neighborhoods? Agenda driven rhetoric aimed at demonizing Israel is simply Arab propaganda disseminated in an academic environment which should be free of bias. I suppose that's the ideal. Having personal experience of academia, I'd say it is an unrealistic goal today because just like society at large, the academy is a wash in bias. The most you can hope for is a balance of biases or perhaps some admission of bias. This points up the importance of getting objective data with which to assess the reality.
