Radical Jewish students at Harvard University are planning to hold a late “Liberation Seder” to “protest the continuing occupation by Israel.”

On Thursday, April 5—six days after all other Jews around the world held their Passover Seders—the Progressive Jewish Alliance will hold its event to protest “our community’s support for the occupation” and to ask “Are you for endless occupation, or for freedom and dignity for all?”

I have a question for these students: Have you ever taken a course in the history of modern Israel?

Here’s a very brief history lesson for the Harvard students.
