Has the Pro-Hamas Campus Brigade Overplayed its Hand?

with Dexter Van Zile

Agitators associated with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and other anti-Israel organizations have since mid-April turned colleges and universities into no-go zones for Jews and supporters of Israel. They have engaged in physical attacks, unlawful confinement, and other acts of harassment. What is the likely impact of these disturbances on American higher education, on public opinion, on the Democratic party, and U.S. foreign policy? Has SJP gone too far? How best can the chaos be brought to an end?
