I've seen Zionists essentially call it a tempest in a teapot, and my knowledge of academic politics is so weak, I have no idea if they could be telling the truth.
Some on our side make it sound more like the storm of the century, but our side (not necessarily the same ones) can have reasons to exaggerate things, too.
Does anyone with more experience in such matters care to offer a somewhat objective analysis of the scale of the situation?
