Harvard's Paper on Israel Drew From Neo-Nazi Sites

WASHINGTON - A prominent Harvard law professor, Alan Dershowitz, is alleging that the authors of a Harvard Kennedy School paper about the "Israel lobby," one of which is the Kennedy School's academic dean, culled sections of the paper from neo-Nazi and other anti-Israel hate Web sites.

"What we're discovering first of all is that the quotes that they use are not only wrenched out of context, but they are the common quotes that appear on hate sites," Mr. Dershowitz, who is identified in the paper as part of the "lobby," told The New York Sun yesterday.

"The wrenching out of context is done by the hate sites,and then [the authors] cite them to the original sources, in order to disguise the fact that they've gotten them from hate sites."

The paper, "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," was written by the Kennedy School's Stephen Walt and a political science professor and the codirector of the Program on International Security Policy at the University of Chicago, John Mearsheimer, and published by the Kennedy School.

In the 83-page "working paper," the professors suggest that a vast network of journalists, think tanks, lobbyists, and largely Jewish officials have seized the foreign policy debate and manipulated America to invade Iraq.

The paper has drawn sharp criticism from prominent Harvard faculty, Harvard students, and a member of Congress, with many critics alleging that the document is riddled with factual inaccuracies and suffers from bias and faulty research..."

As opposed to the vast network of journalists who believe Israel is guilty of war crimes and that suicide bombers are freedom fighters.

Hate sites are the best, often only, sources for these things.

one of which is the Kennedy School's academic dean....

Just a bit of nitpicking about an important story, but why can't they find reporters who can write basic English. It is "one of whom", not "one of which."

Mr. Dershowitz, what kept you? I am not surprised at all with this, nor should be fellow Freepers. We had had many times discussion of Harvard University, namely Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government becoming the hotbed of islamic infiltration and support for terrorism.

A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. Even when hiding behind accademic credentials.

A college degree, even from an Ivy League School, is rapidly gaining the prestige of a Nobel Peace Prize. :-)

LOL. That is true...unfortunately.

The Dersh works at Harvard. He's that rare creature: a rational liberal who's pro-Israel, pro-free speech and pro War On Terror. And as we can see, he thinks little of Holocaust Deniers. There's his long-standing feud with the world's only Jewish lover of Hitler, Norman Finkelstein, who happens to be a contributor to the Far Left anti-Israel rag Counterpunch. It doesn't take long to discover with a publication of the nature authored by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

I can relate. My pet peeve is the epidemic of apostrophe misuse.

failure to grasp the basic logic of the language is a matter of concern; and professional incompetence is certainly not limited to journalism.

all that said, in haste I've come up with some pitiful grammar.
