    Avi Becker, There was nothing hostile about Edward Said at Columbia University. Indeed, I felt Edward Said was an utter gentlement in his criticism of Israel. In addition, I recall Edward Said saying how he felt discourse should always be civil in nature. As a result, he had many friends and admirers on both sides of the aisle. Thus I feel your claim is unjust and a distortion of the real causes for the rise in anti-Semtism which I attribute to the unlawful aggression by radical Zionists and their dreadful disrespect and disregard for the lawful and just rights of the Palestinian people to their ancestral land.
