More hate at Columbia


Well, it looks like more anti-Israel garbage is being spewed from Beir-Zeit U. on the Hudson:


Calling Israel a “racist Jewish state”, a Columbia University professor has proposed replacing it with a bi-national entity as a means of ensuring that “the colonial Zionist project will come to an end.”

International Affairs Correspondent Michael Freund reports that in an article appearing in the February 26 issue of the Egyptian English-language newspaper Al-Ahram Weekly, Joseph Massad, an Assistant Professor of Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia, argues that there is an “immediate necessity for a unified Palestinian leadership to lead the struggle against Zionism.”

Massad blasts PA Chairman Yasser Arafat for his “concessions” to Israel, and accuses him of having undermined international support for “the right of the Palestinians to resist the occupation.”

“Arafat and the PLO,” says Massad, “dropped their opposition to a racist Israel and transformed themselves, under the guise of the PA, into enforcers of the occupation.”

Declaring Israel to be “the last remaining racist colonial state”, Massad also voices irritation that the United Nations voted in 1991 to repeal its infamous 1975 resolution which equated Zionism with racism.

“Zionism has remained as racist in its ideology and practices as it has always been,” he asserts.
