[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, maybe, but that’s not what I meant.  It will become a national political example that will, purely politically, serve to amplify the both real and politically expedient rise of anti-Semitism.

Do I think Anti-Semitism is terrifyingly real and on the increase: 100%

Do I think that it is also being used for political purposes and as a weapon in a pissing match with elite higher ed? 100%[/quote]

One could argue that the story will receive additional attention because the allegations paint a horrifying picture.[/quote]

Do tell-do you always believe allegations that present a horrifying picture with no independent confirmation? Because somehow I doubt it. [/quote]

Again:  the allegations paint a horrifying picture.

What is “independent confirmation”?  In legal proceedings it is called evidence.  Each side will have its opportunity to present evidence and make its case.  [/quote]

Exactly, and I am fully prepared to be horrified if they are found (indepently)  to be true but I’m not inclined to be horrified now, when I have *literally* no idea if they are true or not. [/quote]

Not sure what you mean by “indepently.”   In legal proceedings that usually means a judge, jury, or some other kind of decision maker.[/quote]

Obviously. I would say one thing that’s clearly not independent is the dossier compiled by one party in a dispute. [/quote]

That’s how legal complaints work.  I have a hard time believing that just as in virtually any other legal case, there would not be witnesses and other evidence to support the allegations.  That evidence can be put to the test by the defendant, which can of course present its own case.  And the plaintiff can challenge that case.  [/quote]
