There is nothing revelatory about the notion that it is difficult to live in Israel. Between the tumultuous politics, ongoing violence and general uncertainties that characterize the day-to-day lives of its inhabitants, other aspects of Israel often get overlooked.

The incident that occurred on Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012 involving a student’s inappropriate counter-protest of Duke Students for Justice in Palestine’s display of the separation wall between Israel and the West Bank was regrettable. I would like to clarify that the individual who lashed out acted independently of any organizational ties, without representing the organizations he was said to be associated with. In addition, the Jewish Student Union, of which the student is a member, and Duke Friends of Israel, a group he had cut all ties from, both oppose the inappropriate display of political opinion.
