The Expulsion That Never Was
(Sandstorm) Martin Kramer - Last December, over 1,000 academics signed a letter predicting and warning against Israel's possible "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians in the "fog of war" in Iraq. At the time I said, "anyone signing this letter, effectively condemning Israel in advance for something it has no intention of doing, is either an ignoramus or a propagandist." Eight of the original fifteen signatories are professors of Middle Eastern studies, and among the "additional signatories" is the president-elect of the Middle East Studies Association (MESA). These people have (once again) brought shame on their discipline.
