Neither do I and that's the point. That it happened at this particular school - with its anti-Israel reputation of their speakers - leads me to believe it's FAR more likely this came from the left than the right. And to answer your question - I think attacks on Jews regarding Israel is on the rise and has been for quite a while. I wish it only came from the right - that would make a convenient foil but I know better than that. All intelligent Jews do.
