If you're not busy this weekend, Lisa Duggan the President-elect of the American Studies Association, is holding a 'secret' anti-Israel conference, the agenda of which she published (above) on her Facebook page.

But the most curious part is that this conference is supposed to be a secret....

And for those of you - like me - who are solicited multiple times each year for donations to NYU, the university is apparently sponsoring this conference.

It is unclear whether this conference is officially sponsored by NYU itself. The registration webpage says all questions should go to NYU, implying that this is an official university event and not just part of the American Studies Program.

Keep that in mind the next time they ask you to whip out your checkbook.

Thanks Nachum.

I guess those names listed on the Facebook page are supposed to mean something to the BDS crowd.

I was in Tel Aviv last year. Perfectly nice people. They weren’t talking down the U.S., Palestine, or any other country. They were just living their lives.

To me, the Jews in the U.S. are a different breed of jewish people. Not necessarily a good variant.

This Lisa Duggan character sounds like the total leftist package alright, judging by the garbage on her FB page. Likes Rachael Madcow and friended some LGBT/FUBAR pages, No surprises here. I wonder if she’s ever heard of the Gaza chapter of Dykes on Bikes?
