"Dwells alone"

[bvw]

Dr Shlesinger enjoyed a friendship with Prof Baker and was a guest at [Baker's] house ... Dr Shlesinger is a former chairman of Amnesty International in Israel and has criticised her country’s policies in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

There's a lesson here.

This is the same country that sponsored Zola Budd for the Olympics when her native Republic of South Africa was on the outs.

Middle East list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Wow, these Commie-Nazis are showing their true colors early. They really are stupid.

Racial profiling, race discrimination and venom seething prejudice in the UK??? But the UK is politically correct...they would never do that there....that's why they feel so secure in their constant bashing of the cowboys in the US!! We're so far BENEATH THEM here, as far as awareness!!</sarcasm>

Why doesn't the university simply fix this by sacking HER and hiring THEM back?

As jack said the judes will be blamed.

“There is a large intimidation machine out there which is waiting to intimidate anyone that it doesn’t approve of.”

This is classic. She must have studied under "Hillary!" I love it when these guys were fired because she didn't approve of their nationality, and then she complains about the intimidation machine against people they don't approve of. Is this a VJWC (Vast Jewish Wing Conspiricy?)

Spinmeisters have gotten fantastic at being able to do something and complain about it in the same breath. Remember Hillary!'s "We've got to stop the blame game like we had during the last 12 years of Reagan-Bush'?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The dismissals raised no public opposition from within British universities.

Typical. Bloody friggin' typical.

I would expect nothing more from the slime that inhabit the universities over there.

Looks like it is time to begin an email campaign to her publishers. Boycott Mona Baker.

[watchin]

She alleged that since the sackings she had been the victim of a hate campaign

Poor gal. Same thing happened to Hitler.

[swarthyguy]

You would think.....but no! Even the leftist Jews are being ostracized. Granted, it is a private journal, but the hypocrisy - it's because they're Jews not Israelis.

The Arab Socio/Political/Cultural Jihad takes another step.

Prof John Garside, the vice-chancellor of UMIST, distanced himself from the debate. Even though Prof Baker uses UMIST’s logo in her promotional material for the journals, he said: “The position of UMIST is that the two journals Prof Baker is involved with have nothing to do with UMIST.

“These are activities that she is involved with in her own time. What happens on those journals and the editorial policy on those journals are entirely a matter for those journals. It’s an issue that we are dealing with internally and not something I want to make any public statement about at this stage.”

Mealy-mouthed Chicken sh!it.

Prof John Garside, the vice-chancellor of UMIST, distanced himself from the debate.

This guy couldn't find his balls with a microscope...

[WaterDragon]

It sounds like the liberals are eating each other over Israel.

[Jonathon Spectre]

Prof Greenblatt, who flew to England last night to collect an honorary degree from London University, said that Prof Baker’s actions were “repellent”, “dangerous” and “intellectually and morally bankrupt”.

Yep, that about sums it up.

What's really interesting about this article is that one would have only half the story because her ethnic heritage is deliberately obscured by the author and the paper. Their only reference to her background is that she refused to tell them what it was. How difficult was it to figure out? dennisw must have searched all of 2 minutes before posting a picture and within 2 more minutes her bio was on FR. Print journalism is dead. It has become nothing more than a propaganda tool for whatever views the board of directors of that media hold.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

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.

[bimbo]

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

[mhking]

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..."
