JEWISH PRESS
Pal-Arab Human Rts Activist Slammed at U Chicago for Insufficient Criticism of Israel

It would be funny if it weren’t so serious. Yet again a campus speaker is slammed and silenced by a crowd of students and alumni for failing to understand the “horrors” of “the Occupation,” and for failing to hold Israel sufficiently accountable. But this time, at this campus, with this speaker, it is hard to imagine a more absurd scenario. Bassem Eid, a Palestinian Arab who is a human rights activist and who not only worked for the United Nations and the far leftist NGO Btselem, he also founded the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group, was the speaker at the University of Chicago on Thursday, Feb. 18.

This blog is interesting in the super-sensitive tone adopted towards even the slightest anti Israeli sentiments or actions on campus.You are aware that Israel is a State and not a holy shrine to be revered and respected for its spiritual other World elements. All States are fair game and should , indeed must be monitored and challenged, not least by Jewish vigilance.
What irks most is that Universities condone controversial “lecturing” by inviting what amounts to state propaganda spin doctors onto campus. And expect no adverse reactions?
What happened to debate?
For a real dog fight why not invite opposing PR gurus from extreme and opposite corners of that debating ring. Would that serve the PC dogma of the College administrators? Two opposing points of view? What a shocking thing to conjure up. Students might even apply intellectual activity. There is an assumption within PC controllers that thought control is their right and students are the restricted speech and thought robots.
Using and use by university authorities of campus to promote their politically correct versions of whatever… is nothing short of an attempt to condition and disrupt students.
Debate, argue and fight for freedom of speech.

Oh, Aha, moderators or censors. Are we dealing with open minds or Israeli state censorship?

You’re right. Israeli media should be more like Arab media.

What planet ?
Nothing written from my blog was directed at the Israeli media!
unless your blog identifies Israeli media as herd media and and a propaganda tool of the State machine.
Even on a one on one you twist and distort language.
Please do not indulge in such crude semantics by distortion.
Your site whinges for Israel and begs that a Country, a State must not be challenged on anything?
That must demand that Israel is treated as a Dictatorship and not a Democracy.
When you entertain propagandists on campus do you actually expect that there will be docile acquiescence.
Do pro Israelis believe that Israel is a special country and must not be subject to any adverse comment?

Note you were not censored.
There may be an argument that a propaganda site could permit some intelligent comments to stir interest and make readers more than one dimensional camp followers.
Then again monitors will need some intelligence and may be difficult to recruit.

To quote Shakespeare, You doth protest too much. I fear that it’s you who cry at having lies scrutinized — or is there no objective truth, no facts ? Can both sides be permitted to speak without being shouted down ?

Asking for uniform standards and criteria and the dispensing of double standards is hardly “super-sensitive”. It’s called “fair. Freedom of speech, where EVERYBODY gets to speak without being shouted down sounds awesome. Lets do that.
