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.'
