Jewish Collegians Prepare to Defend Israel on the Campuses

[Brad Mayer]

No Chuck, that's what they've got those little Stars 'n Stripes flags in 
their back pockets for - as they did during the Persian Gulf War.   And 
somebody's gotta be pushing from the far right here.  And that's exactly 
where Bush wants these fools, there to be the fallguy, to take the blame 
away from the real culprit.

Luckily, the article indicates that many American Jewish students aren't 
falling for the "Israel" ruse.  They're looking for the real politics 
behind the fracas - and if they look long and hard, they'll find it right 
here at home.
