Word on the Street is that there's been a serious rift between the mainstream Jewish organizations, basically the Jewish Student Union and Hillel, and the extremely pro-Israel group DAFKA. DAFKA Organizer and non-student Lee Kaplan has gone public with a raft of accusations against JSU and Hillel.

What I hear this boils down is the mainstream Jewish organizations being tired of DAFKA's extremism and association with even more extreme groups. Their last two public activities were infiltrating a pro-Palestinian rally with mock suicide bombers and the dubious anti-semitism charges against an Iraqi Professor. More if I hear about it.

UPDATE: Here's DAFKA's side of the story. I wouldn't believe any of it.Email This Post!
