Anti-Semitism makes a local appearance

This region of the country, like any other, is not immune from the stain of anti-Semitism. Three Temple University students have surrendered to police and a fourth is being sought after two Jewish students were violently assaulted outside the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity house: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/local/20080229_Three_Temple_students_surrender_in_hate_attack.html. While I am pleased about the reaction of police to this crime, I do wonder where the national condemnations are. So-called "civil rights leaders" such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have been silent. Maybe, just maybe, it's because they aren't really civil righs leaders at all. They're pressure group advocates, and nothing more..............
