Not news, but still in the news

Joe Katzman, blogmaster of Winds of Change is harnessing the power of the blogosphere in a good cause. He writes:
On May 7, we saw a crushing example of how far our campuses had fallen, courtesy of the near-riot at SFSU [San Francisco State University] against a pro-Israel rally. While a pro-Palestinian crowd trapped raly participants against a wall and shouted "Get out or we will kill you" and "Hitler did not finish the job," administration officials on the scene did nothing. Even the police would not enforce the original security arrangements for the march.

In response to the SFSU near-riot a Blog Burst has been launched, despite Blogger's outages last night and today. Lots and lots of good materials and follow-up, all indexed here:

The events at SFSU should make all real Americans ill. Thanks to Joe for compiling this "blogburst."
