The scene in New Orleans on Thursday was out of another century.
In an anti-Israel demonstration near the Tulane University campus, one demonstrator, in the bed of a pickup truck, tried to light an Israeli flag on fire. When a Tulane student tried to snatch the flag from him, another demonstrator, waving a Palestinian flag, hit the student over the head with the flagpole. Elsewhere, Israel supporters were punched, and one was hit with a megaphone, causing a broken nose.
