You were wrong about the ACLU and wrong about Mr. Stern's reason for not applying the EUMC definition WRT college campuses.

Funny thing is you agree that calling for Israel's destruction is antisemitic. That's exactly what the BDS movement does. It's what Mondoweiss advocates. You know, the same Mondoweiss that for years you've had trouble calling a hate site.
