In today’s Impromptus, I have a little item that goes like this:

I saw a headline saying, “Palestinians call for boycott of Israeli goods.” (Article here.) I thought, “Who do they think they are, U.S. college students?”

A reader writes (in effect), “That ain’t nothin’” — and links to this: “The Durban University of Technology’s student representative council has called for the expulsion of all Jewish students who do not support the Palestinian cause.”

Of course they did. For several years, the world has felt kind of 1936-y. Let’s hope it does not “progress.”
