Whatever. “Anti-Zionist” organ harvesting blood libels are back in fashion in Europe and the Middle East. The editors of the Crimson should have stood their ground and insisted that they were “just airing questions.” That’s the problem with kids these days. They’re unwilling to stand up to the neocon Zionists who are trying to stifle legitimate debate over Israel:
The head of Harvard University’s student newspaper is blaming an ad that questioned the Holocaust on “a miscommunication.” Harvard Crimson president Maxwell Child said in a letter to readers Wednesday that his staff initially rejected the ad. But Child said the decision “fell through the cracks” in the three weeks between the ad’s submission and its publication Tuesday… The ad came from longtime Holocaust denier Bradley Smith and questions the Nazis’ use of gas chambers. Smith’s ads have appeared since the late 1980s in campus newspapers nationwide.
The ADL guy in the article expresses himself confused. How could an institutional culture develop on campus where venomous anti-Jewish incitement is close enough to legitimate discourse to slip through the cracks? Yeah, I can’t figure it out either:
A recent paper co-authored by the academic dean of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government was “explicitly targeting American Jews,” according to Alan Dershowitz… The paper was added to the Harvard Kennedy School Web site while students were on spring break. An abridged version of the paper was published in The London Review of Books. Some students at Kennedy School disagreed with Dershowitz. Debra Decker thought the paper was “just his [Walt's] opinion.”
The best and the brightest.
