UNSURPRISINGLY, the debate over the 1985 JSoc ban campaign and my walk-on part in the affair continues to rumble on, even a week after the original post. The article has been reproduced by Jews for Justice for Palestinians here, while Mira Vogel gives her gloss on the topic on the Engage website.

For those that are interested, I spent an hour and a half with Dave Rich of the Community Security Trust in a local cafe on Thursday morning, during which he probed me on my memories of student politics a quarter of a century ago. I though his questions were fair, and I hope he got something from my responses.

Dave tells me that he is writing up his research for a chapter in an academic book on anti-semitism, whichI think he said is due for publication later this year. I look forward to reading it, even though I reserve the right not to agree with his probably conclusions.
