ANTI-ISRAEL COLUMBIA PROFESSOR UNDER FIRE

Anti-Israel Columbia Professor Under Fire - Amiram Barkat
Jewish and pro-Israel organizations are demanding that Columbia University in New York fire a Jordanian professor of Palestinian origin who allegedly expressed anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic views in class and displayed a hostility toward Israeli and Jewish students. Joseph Massad, assistant professor of modern Arab politics and intellectual history, compared Israel to the Nazis and argued that the Jewish state has no right to exist. Massad asked one Israeli student who had served in the army, "How many Palestinians did you kill?" (Ha'aretz)
