browbeating by Jewish Professors
Click for non-JavaScript index | Is such professorial browbeating of students the way to ‘academic discourse’? — asks Arthur Butz Jewish professors try to halt debate about Israel News from North-Western University
David Irving writes:
PROFESSOR Arthur Butz , who seems pretty well entrenched at Northwestern for the time being, tell us: “That is, Professors Meyer and Drebin clearly accuse student Korkor of the ‘anti-Semitism’ that Harvard’s Summers complained about, though they don’t actually use that term. “I don’t think I have ever seen that accusation hurled with less provocation, or in circumstances of such inequality in status (two professors vs. one student, writing in a student newspaper).
Drebin, at least, is a pretty important guy on campus. “Is such professorial browbeating of students the way to ‘academic discourse'”?
LAST Wednesday a student, Bassel Korkor , contributed a moderately worded column to the Daily Northwestern , arguing that the Arab perception of a hostile US foreign policy, and Israeli policies, explain Arab terrorism against the US and Israel. The reply came today in a column by two professors, Stuart Meyer and Allan Drebin . Meyer and Drebin conclude: “The president of Harvard University recently pointed out that columns like Korkor’s occur on campuses for less-than-laudable reasons.
We hope that Northwestern is better oriented to academic discourse.” Related stories this website: Spammers hit History News Network Middle East Professors Say They Are Under Email Siege Index to website dossier on the origins of anti-Semitism Harvard President Sees Rise in Anti-Semitism on Campus In two years Israel “has executed” 120 Palestinian prisoners Daily Telegraph trying to get anti-Israeli professor sacked Web warfare: FBI inactive, as Israeli agents use Internet to harass and smear
