From Ivy League to Herzliya yachts
(Video) It's clear that if Ivy League graduates stayed in US, they'd succeed more than if they came to Israel. And yet, there are 4,000 graduates living here

VIDEO - At a time when politically-driven flotillas are approaching Israel coastline, in Herzliya's marina a different type of boating experience is taking place.
About 100 Ivy League graduates have come together in order to compete against each other in a yacht race.

Excerpt:
A 10-by-10-foot sign drew conflict and crowds of more than 50 people outside the HUB-Robeson Center Thursday afternoon.
The sign, part of a demonstration by the Penn State chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, was titled “The Palestinian Wall of Lies.” It featured two large silhouettes of men with guns and outlined 10 “lies” the group believes Palestinians propagate.
YAF President Samuel Settle led the demonstration, handing out pamphlets and attempting to strike up conversation with passersby.
“Many people have hatred for Israel and that’s why this is important,” Settle (junior-political science and history) said. “People need to look at the facts.”
But the demonstration didn’t go without opposition.
One student — who fled the scene before providing comment — yelled obscenities at Settle and the rest of the group, calling it “terrible” and proceeding to kick the group’s box of handouts across the sidewalk.

DIVESTMENT ISSUES ON CAMPUS
There has been much inflammatory rhetoric and misrepresentation of the state of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict on campus during the 2011 academic year.  To find information gathered by Hillel at Stanford and Stanford Israel Alliance in order to present a more encompassing picture of the region and a more truthful portrayal of Israel please read our official statement.  It is important to remember that both Hillel at Stanford and Stanford Israel Alliance represent a broad spectrum of opinions on the Arab-Israeli conflict and that members of these communities are united on this issue because the vast majority of Jewish and pro-Israel students are deeply offended and troubled by this type of campus activity.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Israel Program Coordinator Nadav Savaia.
