The utter senselessness of this little exercise is probably the most galling thing to me: The only thing this is going to accomplish is further alienation, terror and fear among the students. In a few years, one or more of them might just retaliate. At which point, we can all express bewilderment about why there is so much pent-up hostility among the Palestinians, and condemn them as little more than brutes and animals, unfit for inclusion among decent society.
