Liberals in Academia

Reader comment on item: Conservative Professors, an Endangered Species

What I do not understand is why "Liberals" must be anti-Israel. It seems to me that a Liberal is one who is open to understanding many points of view and is not locked into one frame of thinking. If that is so then it seems that a Liberal ought to consider both Israeli AND Palestinian points of view and not be locked into condemning one side or the other.

Thank you for your outstanding, thoroughly researched, articles.
