I'm an Penn alum and remain proud of it despite the presence of useful idiots such as Kaplan and a few others (Max Blumenthal and, gasp, Noam Chomsky are also Penn alums). However, a school with as...

Speaking as one who was born and raised in Quebec, the greatest irony to me is that it seems to me to be logically inconsistent to be a Quebec nationalist and anti-Israel at the same time,...
The quote above is, IMHO, a neat encapsulation of what many recognise as "the New anti-Semitism", i.e., the type so common on the left. It isn't primarily racial, as was the right wing versions of...
Who would ever take someone named "Tiny Kox" seriously? :p
Palestinian:
Can you link your source for those stats? A google search yields only an identical post on Twitter for me. The numbers regarding PTSD are unrealistically high, in particular.

I'm a reader of the Globe and Mail. FWIW, this series doesn't imply support for Hamas. Furthermore, the Globe's editorial board has been consistently strongly pro-Israel, including defense of...

She looks very imjured as she continues to yell while being dragged...
Gotta love Raw Story. Hard to imagine that they can fool anyone with that sort of piece---I would have expected them to at least try to make this propaganda bullshit believable.... So, unnamed AIPAC...
Sort of sad that I've become familiar with Alam's garbage writings only recently. I have an uncle who was a major donor to Northeastern University. There is a large space at the university named...
Sounds to me as though he's being darkly humourous in paraphrasing the Iranian govt's repeated threats towards Israel and Jews (er, Zionists)
I know it's a waste of time, but I needed to vent, so I wrote an e-mail to this dipshit. I'm continually sickened by the moral vacousness of the far left strain in academia.
Hard to know, though surely Hamas will inflate the numbers for their own propaganda. That being said, the death of any child, including the 2 Palestinian children killed by Hamas' misfired rocket...
And look who had his letter to the editor of the Globe and Mail (a national newspaper out of Toronto whose editorial staff have been refreshingly fair and supportive in their treatment of Israel):

The alternate and perhaps more accurate term, Judeophobia, is gaining acceptance and could replace "anti-Semitism".
I saw Prof. Rosenfeld speak this evening at my synagogue and had the opportunity to ask him a few questions. He doesn't paint a pretty picture. More of us need to be willing to risk public scorn and...
Well, in their minds, a neo-Marxist revolution is a viable alternative. After all, if you search through the collection of articles written by Sol Landau, you'll find numerous whimsical references to...
Again, the concept of sampling bias seems to elude you. Reading the reviews at Amazon.com is hardly reflective of the shoddy quality of Finkelstein's supposed scholarship. Authors often ask their...
Your thinking involves a serious logical fallacy, i.e., that the group of people who posted comments related to the referenced article constitute a representative sample of the population as a whole....
Here's a lettler to the editor of the Globe and Mail today written by Dossa in response to his critics:

I'll reply to this at face value and assume that the poster is earnest in his intentions, although there may be evidence otherwise.
None of the examples posted above constitutes reasons...
But won't this make the left wingers irate? This would clearly be a racist state, and I've no doubt that they would spew the same venom towards Kurdistan and they do towards Israel, right? Cockburn...
And, as usual, the UN comes through with condemnation of Israel while pretending that security threats are minor, piddling issues:

I thought he was referring to the Saudi initiative:

You mean Israel rejects a plan which would flood it with refugees and create a demographic shift which would eliminate it as a Jewish homeland? How silly of Israel.
Please send me some of...

My initial (superficial) impression is that there are important contextual elements that Seigman glosses over as well as several pertinent...
