COLLEGE STUDENTS CHEER AS PROFESSOR BLAMES 9/11 ATTACK ON U.S. SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL

New School Students Cheer Ward Churchill Speech (NY Sun)
An ethnic studies professor from the University of Colorado, Ward Churchill, received a standing ovation last night from a crowd of more than 200 New School students after blaming the 2001 World Trade Center attacks on America's support of Israel and its sanctions against Iraq in 1996.

In a two-hour speech at the New School titled "Sterilizing History: The Fabrication of Innocent Americans," delivered without notes, Mr. Churchill traced what he called a pattern of mass murder as American foreign policy from the time of the country's inception to the events of September 11, 2001, which he said the country was essentially asking for.
