It was very pleasing to see that Joe Katzman’s SFSU Blogburst was so successful. He managed a good level of participation and support. It was a bit of a shame none of the biggies picked up on it on the day; however that might change. If you are a blogger you can still participate in this effort to highlight the disgraceful behaviour of both the students and the administration at SFSU. It is great to see so many people coming together to expose such an episode. I suspect there is a good chance that this might gain some momentum in the next few days, as I have to remind myself not everyone reads every blog every day.
In a closely related note, it was interesting to see that CBS accurately reported the situation on the ground for Jews in continental Europe. Instead of dragging out the “normal” nazi skinheads to blame, someone did some real research. It was made clear that is was Muslims and Arabs who were responsible for the attacks. They even managed to track down a white pro-palestianian convert to Islam who was only happy to take responsibility for co-ordinating such attacks. In a bizarre scene, he proudly showed a picture of Arafat taking pride of place next to Hitler on his wall. He called for Muslims in Europe to rise up against the Zionists and Americans everywhere. The man was clearly a living example of an Islamo-fascist.
This was some of the best reportage I have ever seen on CBS. It was certainly some of the best foreign reporting I have seen from any US network in a long time.
