Amazing. They sack 2 Israelis, and we can not even fire a known terrorist supporter who raised funds openly for their work at the University of South Florida in Tampa. Al-Arayan is the scum of the earth, yet we can't even fire him because the socialist politically correct professors wouldn't dare allow that to happen.

In England the Universities purge Israelis ... In America, the Universities purge conservatives. So much for "the free flow of ideas."

But a certain group of people always seems to want to bring the converstaion back to Israel.

You mean like what you're doing on a routine basis? Like in these threads (if you want more, just say the word. It wouldn't surprise me to find your loonytunes firmly embedded in a recipe thread).

Not only can't we fire Sami Al-Arian, there is a campaign to get him back into the classroom. The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Sandra Feldman, has written to the University of School Florida urging them to give him his old job back.

The Brits are headed for an Islam problem and they are too dumb to see it.

Islam will eat their athesist occult nation alive.

Nature detests vacumns and there is a real Judeo/Christian gap ....Islam is racing in to fill it with the moon god

Do you wonder how it will look as an Islamic country? Will the Queens hands be chopped off for stealing from the people?

Europe has not changed since WW II...

If there were six million Sri Lankans in this country your response would be different.

There are not 6 million Israelis in America.

There are many Hindus, Buddhists and people from India here.Some of them follow the war in Sri Lanka. But that is not the criteria anyway. It is an interesting conflict.So is the Maoist insurgency in Nepal. Several people follow that closely on FR.

Larry does Zimbabwe

Tell us why freepers should not know Israel is selling military equipment to Mugabe. Tell us what is "loonytunes" about posting information not found readily in the American media. American taxpayers will be called on to bail Zimbabwe out. Our businesses cannot sell arms to Mugabe. We have sanctions on the country. So does the EU. But Israel just received from Mugabe a $105 million down payment on armored vehicles. And Israelis are in country training his thugs how to use them.

Btw...the man who wrote the article above and his editor have been arrested by Mugabe. Like you, Mugabe doesn't want anyone to know Israel is supplying him with arms.

France, Holland, and Germany are in the same boat. Big time Arab problems.

**I suggest we all sit back and enjoy the show.

You must love those old Nazi propaganda films. You are a sorry character.

Lol. Did anyone ever tell you how much you sound like Kudzu/Astonished? Were you her handler by any chance, and if so, is she back here?

Should I go back and find some more, Mr. Lied? Tell you the truth, I'm kinda curious myself as to how odd you can get :).

Mona Baker, a professor at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), admitted yesterday that she had dismissed Dr Miriam Shlesinger and Prof Gideon Toury because of their nationality.

And so it begins -- now the academic left finds it OK to sack those who do not agree with their "sensitivities." We have already seen an overall censorship of the right on college campuses globally; when we are allowed to speak on campus, we have to have an opposing or balancing viewpoint to appear on the same program to counterbalance our "radical" or "extreme" viewpoint. And as for black conservatives on black college campuses? Forget it. It won't happen. Not as long as the race warlords in black academia run the show.

We are being made out to be the new pariahs. And this will continue to happen globally. You will start to hear of Israelis run off of college campuses everywhere. You will then start to hear of right-wingers being thrust bodily off campuses.

You know the old adage - to paraphrase: "First they came for the Israelis..."

Professor Mona Baker, from the University of Manchester visited Harpur College on May 5, 2001. A native of Egypt,

Figures.

Nobody else noticed it. Everyone was cheering a marxist from Harvard and a peacenik from Israel on.

You're brilliant. The posters excoriated the sacking simply because these guys were Israelis. You laud the sacking because they're leftists and "deserve it" (oh yes the "irony of it all"). Who is for the principle of free speech here?

Leave it to Larry to figure out some way to explain "they had it coming" whenever a Jew is attacked for being Jewish. If some Hasid gets beat up on the streets of Brussels (as a loved one of mine was a few months ago), Larry will lecture us on how "Jewish" Communists worked for the KGB 60 years ago. What does that have to do with this Hasid?

"What's also funny is that the liberals (both here and in Europe) are hair-trigger quick to label anyone two inches or more to the right of themselves "Nazis" or "fascists", and yet I've been astounded over the past few years how closely the liberals are retracing the Nazis' early footsteps, apparently down the same road."

...Don't forget the yellow Stars of David on the packaging of Israeli products in some grocery stores in Norway. I THINK the 'boycott' is in Norway.

"We're not talking blue collar Democrats here. This is the hard core left. Amnesty International and the Modern Language Association of America."

It IS ironic that a Palestinian-sympathizing, hard-core left-wing Israeli who condemns her own people's policy toward terrorists was sacked by a Palestinian-sympathizing, hard-core left-wing EGYPTIAN who apparently AGREES with the opinion of the woman she sacked....but sacked her for BEING an Israeli.

That's why so many of us have made those "appeasement doesn't work" quips. However, it's be not only stupid but dangerous for us to sit back and watch the left eat each other, because we're going to get damaged in the process.

Ahem, ladies and gentlemen. Ah say that one of us must immediately get in contact with the University of Manchester and find out the robe size of this academic.

We should then get in contact with whomever the new grand kegle of the Klan is and demand she be immediately inducted into that august organization. They should also have an international press conference to announce this great event.
With the KKK's outlook on Jews, she will feel distinctly honored.

It's pathetic. And doesn't speak well for my home state. I've written a letter informing the University that as an alum, I will no longer be contributing any funds nor to their fledgling football program until he is fired. But then again, the liberalcommiesocialiste's who are today's professors are the problem, not just the terrs.

Ah Larry, you are in rare form.

A pity that your research does not extend to the Egyptian woman in this article.
