"The lord is going to kick your racist ass " That's what most fundamentalist and Orthodox Jews feel about Jesus and Christians. Do you have anything new to add to your Jewish/Zionist hatred?

Jewish-American and Israeli war on American's academic freedom: The War on Academic Freedom, The Nation, November 11, 2002 "The year since Congress passed the USA Patriot Act has brought an ever-growing enemies list from our nation's thought police. First there was Senator Joseph Lieberman and Lynne Cheney's American Council of Trustees and Alumni report unveiled last November--'Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America and What Can Be Done About It.' The forty-three-page document purports to advocate the preservation of academic freedom and dissent while being all about suppressing both when the views expressed conflict with blind support for US foreign policy. In attempting to smear dozens of 'unpatriotic' professors, the organization laid the foundation for the Middle East Forum's recent blacklisting project, Campus Watch--a website that hopes to do for students and professors what Project TIPS would have done for mail carriers and plumbers. Based in Philadelphia and headed by [Jewish] anti-Arab propagandist Daniel Pipes, Campus Watch unleashed an Internet firestorm in late September, when it posted 'dossiers' on eight scholars who have had the audacity to criticize US foreign policy and the Israeli occupation. As a gesture of solidarity, more than 100 academics subsequently contacted the Middle East Forum asking to be added to the list. In response, Pipes has since posted 146 new names, all identified as supporters of 'apologists for suicide bombings and militant Islam' ... Naming the names of academics critical of Israeli policy has a history spanning more than two decades. In 1979 the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) formed its Political Leadership Development Program, which 'educates and trains young leaders in pro-Israel political advocacy,' enlisting hundreds of college students to collect information on pro-Palestinian professors and student organizations. By 1983 the program had attracted more than 5,000 students on 350 campuses in all fifty states. The next year the findings were published as The AIPAC College Guide: Exposing the Anti-Israel Campaign on Campus,which surveyed 100 campuses and instructed students on how best to counter a 'steady diet of anti-Israel vituperation.' Around the same time, the Anti-Defamation League covertly distributed a twenty-one-page booklet containing 'background information on pro-Arab sympathizers active on college campuses' who 'use their anti-Zionism as merely a guise for their deeply felt anti-Semitism.' As with redbaiting during the 1950s, the leaders of these current attacks are exploiting the fear and anxiety the American public feels about enemies abroad in order to advance their own political agenda. Now with access to the Internet, Pipes and his supporters have been able to expand their attacks into a virtually limitless campaign of harassment and intimidation." thenation.com
