Ben Gurion University "Academic" Serving as Accomplice for Tehran Holocaust Deniers

http://thejewishpress.blogspot.com/2009/04/ben-gurion-university-academic-serving.html

Neve Gordon is the anti-Semitic lecturer in political science, the democracy hater who suppresses freedom of speech of his students, who attempted to suppress my own freedom of speech when I pointed out that he is a groupie of Holocaust Denier Norman Finkelstein (and he failed), the pseudo-academic who built a career at Ben Gurion University mainly by turning out anti-Israel hate propaganda, the columnist for anti-Semitic media from the Neo-Nazi Counterpunch magazine to Aljazeera.com (for report – see this). Gordon's "academic record" strongly resembles that of his guru Norman Finkelstein. Gordon is so openly anti-Semitic that his materials are published by Neo-Nazi and Holocaust Denial web sites (see this).

That same Neve Gordon has a new job - bashing Israel as a columnist for the Tehran Times. Yes, Gordon is openly the accomplice of the Holocaust Denying mullahs of Iran threatening Israel with nuclear annihilation. See his latest exercising in anti-Semitism here.

The Tehran Times is an official organ of the Islamofascist regime in Iran, and it has published, alongside Neve Gordon's column, scores of articles and columns insisting that there never was any Nazi Holocaust of Jews in WWII, and that reports that there was - are all a Zionist fabrication.

Gordon now has the distinction of being one of the only people born Jewish on the planet openly collaborating with the Holocaust Deniers of Tehran (in good company with the Neturei Karta mentals). Gordon currently serves as the head of the department of political science at Ben Gurion University. The university's president, Prof. Rivka Carmi, has repeatedly endorsed and celebrated Gordon's anti-Israel hate propaganda as "serious and distinguished research into human rights."

Gordon by the way is a central figure in the efforts to get the world to boycott Israel.

The World according to Neve Gordon, as cited by Meretz USA, where he spoke:
'A more radical approach could be heard as well: Prof. Neve Gordon of Ben-Gurion University, told us that BDS ("Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions") was the only way that Israel could be prodded into accepting the kind of solution envisioned in the Geneva Initiative - two states, based on the 1967 borders, East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine and an agreed solution to the Palestinian refugee situation based on the Arab League peace initiative.

'Prof. Gordon suggested that, with the alternative to two states most likely being the development of full-blown apartheid, the BDS approach is a pro-Israeli effort - "to save Israel from itself". Most on the Israeli left, it should be noted, still reject this type of strategy.'

Full Meretz piece appears here.
