On September 21, the Case Western Reserve University Radical Student Union showed a documentary titled "The Occupation of the American Mind: Israel's Public Relations War in the United States," to all members of the university community through the Kanopy streaming service. The chairman of the board of trustees of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland called out for a follow-up investigation of the screening.

Abstract: 
Excerpt:

In a speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee earlier this year, Hillary Clinton, who vehemently opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement warned against anyone who tries to "to shut down debate, especially in places of learning like colleges and universities." Her concern, of course, was with reassuring pro-Israel students that she stood behind them as they battled efforts to criticize Israel from the left.

It is certainly sportsman-like of Clinton to be open to debate, but the reality is that the free exchange of ideas on campus is currently under assault, not from the left but from the right.
