On January 4, 2003 The Boston Herald printed an editorial by Matan Chorev and Karim Bin-Humam that stated, "the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has served as the ultimate topic of deliberation, peaceful and otherwise, on campuses coast to coast. But at what cost? The intensity of the campus dialogue has propagated inappropriate behavior among people on all sides of the conflict, and most college communities are not responding adequately. A recent statement calling for 'intimidation-free campuses' was circulated widely and signed by a number of current and former college and university presidents. While many university leaders viewed the statement, which provided a denunciation of intolerance aimed specifically at Jewish students, as a worthy initiative, others called for a more inclusive version, protecting Arab and Muslim students from intimidation. The statement represents a good start, and reveals an encouraging and thoughtful discourse."
