"Whatever happens to the resolution, as MESA president I view it as the task of the organization’s leadership to ensure that the debate is protected and that it is held in an atmosphere free of intimidation. There have been complaints from those involved in all sides of the BDS debate of attempts to scare them into silence." Yes, Nathan. The pro-Palestinian side in the US holds such a sway that they intimidate anybody who supports Israel, and all organizations that support Israel are labeled as terrorist organizations, and Zionists in the US have no room to express themselves--not on college campuses and not in the US media. Such is the power of the BDS lobby in the US.
