Laundering Anti-Semitism at Harvard
(Jerusalem Post) Dan Diker - The upcoming symposium, "Israel/Palestine and the One-State Solution," due to convene at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government on March 3-4, transforms Harvard's longstanding tradition of free and fair academic debate into anti-Semitic theater. Under the guise of free academic expression, the One-State Conference advances the notion that Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people should be dismantled and replaced by a state that would be flooded with and governed by Palestinian Arabs and in which Jews would once again live as an insecure minority in their own land. The conference's 20 speakers brings together a "dream team" of academics who share an antipathy to the existence of the Jewish state. The conference's primary agenda is not to consider serious alternatives to advance Middle East peace, but to discuss the prospects for Israel's dissolution. The writer is the Secretary General of the World Jewish Congress.
