Academics against Academic Freedom


Below is a list of faculty at U.S. universities who have  signed the call by "Middle East Studies Scholars and Librarians for the Academic Boycott of Israel". Call them the  "Academics Against Academic freedom"

Via the Amcha Initiative

From Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, the AMCHA Initiative's co-founder and a faculty member at the University of California, Santa Cruz:

“How can professors who are so biased against the Jewish state accurately or fairly teach students about Israel or the Arab-Israel conflict?” “Students who wish to become better educated without subjecting themselves to anti-Israel bias, or possibly even antisemitic rhetoric, may want to check which faculty members from their university are signatories before registering.”

Good for them! You will erase this comment...because you do not like it..shows your democratic values, or rather shows your hatred towards anyone that knows Israel is apartheid & not democratic. By the by, I am not Arabic either..I am 1 of those 'self-hating Jews' lol
