Graduate school was medicine—you do not find many anti-Jewish people in such departments– on the contrary.

What happened was the assassination of Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin by right wing radical terrorist Yigal Amir.

That was the final blow to the Israeli brand world wide and the end of its dream to become the finance and technology hub of the Mid-East.
Since then Israel has managed to alienate all its remaining friends–for the US it is a crazy aunt in the attic to whom we dole out $3Billion per year with no ROI and with no compliance in return.

Israel is irrelevant to the Kissinger proposal re Afghanistan and, as Petraeus said, a liability to our broader interests in the larger region.
As PMs Barak and Olmert predicted Israeli is now on the old South Africa path, apartheid, pariah status, international boycotts and ultimately a multi-ethnic One state solution.
