ON APRIL 5 the Daily Targum, campus newspaper of Rutgers University, published a front-page report on a pro-Palestinian student rally. It quoted one protester, a fourth-year pharmacy student, as claiming that the media portray Palestinians as terrorists, “but when the Israeli government went into an all-female hospital and randomly selected 30 women, called them terrorists and executed them, you don’t hear about it.” She added, “We must educate where the media has failed.”

Now, no one would look to student demonstrators for dispassionate scrupulousness about facts–or expect student editors to exercise infallible judgment. Still, it’s disappointing that the Daily Targum, while willing to recycle this unsourced allegation of atrocity, has thus far failed to publish any of the responses it received.
