Massive pro-Palestinian DC protest in front of Obama residence. Handful of pro-Israel demonstrators have to be bused away by police, ostensibly for their own protection, after unruly protestors pelt them with anti-Semitic invective and threaten worse. The Wagnerian climax: burning an Israeli flag. Among the rabble-rousers: Cornell African Studies Professor Cornel West. I knew him twenty years ago when, for a brief moment, he spoke up against black anti-Semitism before death threats from Farrakhanites turned his hair prematurely white.
