As someone who went to the UR and worked on the Campus Times, I have a pretty good idea of his experience there. It was a campus with a lot of Jewish students from the east coast. His opinion would not have been all that notable.
Coming out of the failed Camp David meetings, it was kind of obvious the Palestinians would never accept a solution that included the existence of Israel. They would choose their own deaths over letting their enemies live.
Back then, sentient adults understood this. There was no question Israel had our friendship, Jewish, atheist, Christian or otherwise. We saw, time and time again, that no matter what approach Israel used, it was met with violence.
Now, things are different because college campuses are different. Administrators indoctrinate and professors seek load lifts. Students are selected for political reasons, and not for academic reasons. And, yes, when they strap on their hoodies and the keffiyeh and chant for Israel's destruction and attack and intimidate Jewish students, that's straight from the KKK playbook.
I would welcome Shapiro's candidacy if I thought he'd be chosen for any other reason than to help win the election, then get stored in a office somewhere, preserved in mothballs.
