MORE RESPONSES TO HATEFUL HARVARD PROFESSORS' ARTICLE

The Graves of Academe - Melanie Phillips (melaniephillips.com)
The authors try to wrap themselves in the mantle of heroic fighters against the attempt by the "Israel lobby" to stifle them. But open the Guardian or Independent any day of the week, and these "stifled" claims of the Israel/Jewish/neocon global conspiracy/world evil pour from their pages in an unstoppable torrent of bile.

The fundamental misrepresentations and distortions in this paper are quite astonishing. Take this claim, for example, that Israeli citizenship "is based on the principle of blood kinship." This is totally untrue. [More than a million] Arabs and other non-Jews are Israeli citizens.

This is but the latest example of a poisonous pathology which has gripped the intelligentsia of the West, centered around a visceral loathing of America, Israel, the neocons, and the Jews. The intelligentsia have become the fifth columnists of the West, an engine of war that is being deployed by the enemies of life and liberty to sow terminal confusion, self-loathing, and demoralization that are progressively sapping the ability of the free world to defend itself.

The university world is not a disinterested bystander at the current struggle between freedom and genocidal clerical fascism. It is instead an active player - and on the wrong side.

Stephen Walt's War with Israel - Richard Baehr and Ed Lasky (American Thinker)
Walt and Mearsheimer's attacks on Israel fail every basic test of fairness, and lead one to believe they would prefer a world without Israel. Israel is demonized by the authors, while thuggish terror-supporting states such as Iran and Syria are presented as potential important allies of America, and are insulated from any criticism.

The professors' attempt to promote the good deeds of Syria in the war on terror is particularly laughable. Syria has opened its border to virtually every jihadist willing to kill Americans in Iraq.
The authors deliberately choose to ignore the Israeli offers of peace after the 1967 war. These offers were roundly and proudly rejected by the Arab world in the infamous "3 Nos" of the Khartoum Resolution: No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel.

The Jewish threat By Caroline B. Glick
Harvard's now infamous report is about a lot more than justsubstandard research and conspiracies, warns the writer, a formerstudent of one of its authors. It should serve as a wake-up call toIsrael's electorate.
