I had a similar experience at Hebrew University on Sartre and the Jewish Question

Reader comment on item: A Return to the Academy

Daniel Pipes replies:

The topic of the Sartre panel leant itself to lunacy. The conference I attended was much more sober. Still, the leftism, jargon, and trivialization shone through.
