RUTH WISSE; HARVARD’S LATEST ASSAULT ON ISRAEL

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203960804577244932732348366.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEFTTopOpinion&_nocache=1330478996193&user=welcome&mg=id-wsj
Harvard’s Latest Assault on Israel
Promoting the Jewish State’s destruction at a school dedicated to ‘democratic governance.’
In 1948, when the Arab League declared war on Israel, no one imagined that six decades later American universities would become its overseas agency. Yet campus incitement against Israel has been growing from California to the New York Island. A conference at Harvard next week called “Israel/Palestine and the One-State Solution” is but the latest aggression in an escalating campaign against the Jewish state.

The sequence is by now familiar: Arab student groups and self-styled progressives organize a conference or event like “Israeli Apartheid Week,” targeting Israel as the main problem of the Middle East. They frame the goals of these events in buzzwords of “expanding the range of academic debate.” But since the roster of speakers and subjects makes their hostile agenda indisputable, university spokespersons scramble to dissociate their institutions from the events they are sponsoring. Jewish students and alums debate whether to ignore or protest the aggression, and newspapers fueling the story give equal credence to Israel’s attackers and defenders.

A featured speaker at Harvard’s conference is Ali Abunimah, creator of the website Electronic Intifada, who opposes the existence of a “Jewish State” as racist by virtue of being Jewish. A regular on this circuit, he also keynoted a recent University of Pennsylvania conference urging “Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions” (BDS) of, from and against Israel. Ostensibly dedicated to protecting Palestinian Arabs from Israeli oppression, BDS has by now achieved the status of an international “movement,” some of whose branches exclude Israeli academics from their journals and conferences.

SEX, MARXISM AND FRAUD: STEVEN PLAUT

Sex, Marxism and Fraud

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/02/29/sex-marxism-and-fraud/print/

Scott Ritter is not the only darling of the Left to get himself into trouble because of his sexual misbehavior. Another is Marc H. Ellis, a tenured professor at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and one of the most malicious collaborators in the Campus Wars against the Jews. He openly calls for Israel to be exterminated. He is to be one of the key speakers at the “Annihilate Israel” academic “conference” to be held in a few days at Harvard.

Baylor University’s president is Kenneth Starr, best remembered from his investigations of another sexual predator, Bill Clinton. The current campaign to rid Baylor of Ellis is because Ellis reportedly sexually harassed a female faculty member, who got herself a lawyer and filed a complaint. Evidently all sorts of Baylor faculty knew about it. In response to this, Starr and Baylor have suspended Ellis from all teaching and administrative duties indefinitely. Baylor offered to “buy Ellis out” to get him to leave. Last July the Faculty Dismissal Committee notified Ellis that the administration was seeking his dismissal.

SRDJA TRIFKOVIC: MACEDONIA….THE NEW KOSOVO?

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=259806
Both demographically and politically, the republic has a precarious present and an uncertain future.

An Orthodox church was set ablaze in the southwestern part of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on January 30. The incident reflects raising tensions between local Christian Slavs and Albanians, more than a decade after an Albanian rebellion brought FYROM to the verge of an ethnic war. It also evokes memories of the early stages of the conflict in Kosovo, in the late 1980s.

The Church of St. Nicholas, in the majority Albanian-Muslim village of Labuniste, was two centuries old and housed valuable icons. The arson at Labuniste followed the burning of a Macedonian flag and the raising of Albanian and Islamic banners in the neighboring town of Struga, allegedly in reaction to an incident of “mocking Islam” at a local carnival last month.

READ JOHN WORK’S NEW BOOK ” A SUMMON TO PERDITION” !!!

http://www.andrewbostom.org/blog/2012/02/28/free-download-of-potboiling-parable-on-jihad-get-thee-and-read/

Retired detective and writer John Work [1] has woven a potboiling, film noire parable of a yarn that may do more to educate Americans about the global jihad than anyone’s dry tome(s)…or simulacra thereof.

John’s gripping and fast-paced detective-written, detective story is available as a FREE amazon.com download [2] for the next 24-hours (starting midnight 2/28/12).

Having just read “A Summons to Perdition” I heartily endorse my colleague Diana West’s [3] earlier recommendation, and summons:

Get Thee [2] and Read (and Share) This Book!

And let’s encourage the truly “braver” hearts in Hollywood to make the movie version of a “A Summons to Perdition [2]” !

MY SAY: APOLOGIES AND RAGE

Last August in the Philippines a so called artist Mideo Cruz installed “Poleteismo” a large wooden crucifix adorned with a red dildo. This led to street rages, beheading, burnings in effigy and rampage of looting and violence and murder……..NOT.

In America we have seen crucifixes in urine (Andres Serrano”s”Piss-Christ”) and ants on a crucifix (David Wojnarowicz).

Catholics in America rioted, looted, burned and committed violence…..NOT.

Sure, there was controversy, there were demands for cut off in federal funding, and the Smithsonian Institute actually apologized and pulled a video deemed offensive to Christians…..but no one was murdered.

There really is a difference folks.
