Institutional Gate Keepers and Seamless Censorship
UPDATE:
The audience appears to be rather limited
9 comments:
7 people attended in the morning, with a gradual increase by the evening to maybe 40. The room was quite empty.
These kinds of forums are only meaningful to the extent that the ideas are spread, often with an academic publication.
We'll see if they publish based on the conference.
Crybaby conference.
Chant this...
From the River to the Sea,
Pal-e-SWINE Will Never Be!
Any panels on how Islam is at War with the entire world?
Any panels on ISIS beheadings of captives, of the immolation of captives, of their use of poison gas?
Or would that be Islamophobic to study why Islam has become associated with world-wide Terrorism?
held on shushan purim. as we learn through the story of purim, there are no such thing as coincidences
the only purpose of these forums is to make jewish and pro israel students feel less safe on campus
Richard Falk is in the audience, and seems to be falling asleep.
Mike:
Hatem asked for papers before the conference

Censoring Pal-e-SWINE is censoring hate, murder, hijacking, stoning, stoning, shooting, beheading, missiles, fascism, assassination of RFK.
All in all, a good thing.
