As if "non-Zionist voices" haven't already monopolized the conversation on university campuses. As if the call for "inclusion" isn't really a call to ix-nay the Ionism-Zay, m'kay?:
The two-day Open Hillel conference included lectures, panels and workshops on topics such as “Israel/Palestine Politics of College Campuses,” “Race in the American Jewish Community,” “Intermarriage: Good, Bad, or Neutral for the Jewish People?” and “Philanthropy and Power: How Big Donors Shape the Agenda in the Jewish World.”
Speakers at the event included Rashid Khalidi, a controversial Columbia professor of Arab studies who was recently barred from speaking at Ramaz High School; gender theorist Judith Butler, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has made provocative statements about Israel and its enemies; Steven M. Cohen, a sociologist at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion who identifies as a “progressive Zionist”; and journalist Peter Beinart, the author of the 2012 book "The Crisis of Zionism."Enemies of Zion, the lot of 'em. And, as leftists who march in lockstep, about as un-"diverse" as it gets.
