What's Behind the Campus Witch Hunts?

Campus witch hunts, to put it simply, is an organized effort by Zionist individuals (David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, etc) and likeminded organizations (AIPAC, David Project, FrontPage Mag, etc.) to attack and slander those professors or students whose views are not in agreement with Israel's ultra right wing interests. The objective of these individuals and organizations is to squash free and open debate about issues that in genral concerns the middle east and more specifically against any debate critical of Bush's Israeli friendly neoconservative foreign policy in the region. Unfortunately the media, our government leaders, and the public have been successfully silenced when it comes to open debate regarding the issue of Israel. However to the obvious dismay of hard right Israeli supporters, our campuses are one of the last institutions in this country where this important issue can be discussed openly.

Debate on this issue is important on so many levels, but most importantly debate is needed to understand this countries most pressing issue, which is the 'war on terror'. To understand this.....we need a balanced and non-biased assessment of US foreign policy as it relates to Arab and Israeli interests....we need an honest understanding of the 50-year history of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict.....we also need to understand how the modern day middle east was created after World War I....we need to understand the Zionist movement and it's relationship to the Nazi Holocaust .......and finally, we need to understand the Christian and Jewish Zionist movement. And then we have to ask ourselves....is it worth jeopardizing the security and safety of 250 millions American citizens for the sake of a few ultra-right wing pro-Zionist radicals and neoconservative?

We need debate now!
