On January 19 University of California Santa Barbara sociology Professor William Robinson sent an email to students on the roster of his Global Affairs course in which he compared the Israeli occupation of Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto. He was subsequently brought up on
disciplinary charges by the Academic Senate of the university, as well as subjected to harassment and persecution by pro-Israeli elements.

by Farhad Kashani on Tue May 26, 2009 02:57 PM PDTCapt ayhab,
The ones who truly are threatening academic freedoms in the U.S are bully-wannabe, confused, misguided, mostly anti-Semite and anti Israeli university and college professors who call anyone who disagrees with them “a neo Con”, or a “Zionist”. The pro IRI, fundamentalists apologizers and enablers who have totally lost touch with the real world, are trying to silence any non leftist voice in academia.
The good news is people are becoming aware of this issue.
capt, the part of new
by Mehdi Mazloom on Mon May 25, 2009 07:11 PM PDTActually I have no problem with you flooding the forum with news articles against Israel - designed and intended to render Israel with negative light.In fact you are helping me to bring Israel's message to the forum here.
Please go ahead and continue with your game.
You present WHAT Israel is doing with the Pals. I will explain WHY my country has to resort to force against those elements, such as Mullahs, Hamas, & Hizbollah, who publicly declare their intent to destroy Israel, loot its people. and take their land which for past 60 years transformed it from desert and derelict, to what it is today.
I will explain the ROOT cause of the conflict, and will continue to demonstrate to readers here that this conflict is less about piece of land, and more about state of mind.
Go ahead my good man, accuse my country as "Apartheid state", and I will demonstrate that real apartheid is in your own backyard in Iran.
Mullahs in Tehran have vivid imaginations, Pipe dream of repeat their feat in Khyber back in 636 ACE.

by Mehdi Mazloom on Mon May 25, 2009 12:10 PM PDTwho's the hell said I am writing it for you. All you are doing is to provide me with the golden opportunity to present the Israeli side of the argument.
You are helping me to argue my side of the story, and not even aware of it. You, ostaad and smhb are my best sidekicks. So much for your intelligence agha.
Keep it coming. Fortunately vast majority of the readers here, wish to read BOTH sides of the story.

capt, you and your crap
by Mehdi Mazloom on Mon May 25, 2009 11:04 AM PDTThere is a big difference when a professor at any respectable university whom expresses freedom of speech, and out right incitement against a particular group.
Get this and keep them in your skull.
1. Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in August 2005. Instead of rolling their sleeves and build Gaza into a viable society, import means of construction. No Israeli leader would dare to stop them. Instead, Hamas was importing means of destruction, and converted Gaza into a hell house for the Pals.
2. Israel had left massive and fully functioning arrays of greenhouse which were providing jobs to more then 5,000 Palestinian families there. Exporting more then 1M flowers to EU countries.
Withing 3 weeks after last Israeli had left, all were looted by the Pals themselves.
3. Israel was providing them with economic and financial assistance, with only one condition to Hamas - don't attack our civilians.
4. For over 8 years, Hamas had launched more then 8000 rockets onto Israel - deliberately and intentionally target civilians. Terrorizing more then 900,000 Israel man, woman and children.
DON'T YOU THINK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It was time for Israel to do what every other country would do - protect its citizens.
From now on, like Hizbollah in 2006, Hamas leaders will think 7 times before launching another rocket attack against Israelis.
Here are few excerpts from paper which bought your accusation.
THIS IS A FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Robinson’s January 19 email began with a strong denunciation of the
Israeli assault on Gaza. The professor, who is Jewish, wrote: “Gaza is
Israel’s Warsaw—a vast concentration camp that confined and blockaded
Palestinians,..........
AND THIS IS INCITEMENT.
Robinson then juxtaposed photographs of Nazi operations and
atrocities with images of Israeli crimes in Gaza. A caption over the
images reads: “The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War
II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi
Germany....”
The photo series is arranged such that
each image from one time period is displayed next to a corresponding
image from the other. Pictures of the Warsaw Ghetto are on the left,
Gaza on the right. The photographs are disturbing, as is the
often-uncanny similarity apparent in the side-by-side images.
I will let others to dig into the action of the Nazi's in WWII against the Jews, and Israelis in Gaza.
