Harvard's Anti-Israel Conference
(Times of Israel) Andrea Levin - Harvard University claims that its hosting of the "One State Conference," whose topic is the dissolution of the Jewish state, is a student-inspired and organized event - and not Harvard's responsibility. Do Harvard's pooh-bahs truly expect the public to believe the university would allow "student organizers" to run a campus gay-bashing conference, or a KKK convocation? Clearly, Harvard is making an exception for hate-speech directed against the Jewish state, whose annihilation is being promoted. The conference is not just a student affair. It grows out of fertile anti-Israel Harvard ground and it includes prominent faculty as speakers. The Kennedy School of Government, with its sharply skewed Middle East Initiative program and the university's stridently anti-Israel Center for Middle Eastern Studies and biased Outreach Center have in recent years promoted biased attacks against the Jewish state.
