There's a worrying polarisation here to which the Israeli security side, on which i include myself, is also guilty. It seems to me that both sides (the Islamic one obviously much worse, and would be worse again in the event of achieving greater power) are seeking to gag their opponents. Actions like Campus Watch and threats to withdraw funding just don't ring right to me.

Campus Watch does not deal with funding of universities. I gave this advice in my personal capacity.
