 Regarding the popular movement to abolish Israel and the wave of Palestinian campus occupations recently undertaken in furtherance of that goal, we urge all members of the learning community to read this: [[https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vRQgyDhIjZupO2H-2rIDXLy_zkf76RoM-_ZIYsOfn9FkI7TETgRtOfXK9VobMvGh6iEZfDPgALXJTCR/pub|In Our Name: A Message from Jewish Students at Columbia University]].
-We commit to an open and non-dogmatic evaluation of the various contrary propositions we have been offered, in the spirit of skeptical inquiry.  We invite all students, faculty, and teaching fellows to come and defend their theses in public disputation.   Since no Zionists have appeared on campus to publicly advocate their cause, we will argue the government's propositions until better spokesmen can be found.  Since the Palestinian advocates number in the hundreds and appear to have triumphed by default, and through sheer volume and duration, they do not need our help in on this camputs.  However they have won the moral or historical argument, but have merely formed an echo chamber that has become somewhat repetitive and boring, having failed to even hear the argument for Israel, let alone respond to or refute it.  Ignorance is not a counter-argument, nor an adequate solution to problems facing Palestinians, or the Arab or Islamic worlds as a whole.
