Aljazeera's new Columnist: Ben Gurion University anti-Israel Extremist Neve Gordon

by Steve Plaut
March 3, 2009

Aljazeera.com is the web site that is run by the Aljazeera print magazine. Both are open instruments of the world jihad and Islamofascist terror. Both are strongly opposed to any American or Western attempts at capturing Osama bin Laden.

The Aljazeera web site is a strong lobbyist on behalf of the Hamas, demanding that it be removed from the terrorism lists of Western countries, and that it be "recognized" and engaged in negotiations by the West. It openly demands that Israel be exterminated.

Aljazeera.com carries a subdirectory of articles under the heading "conspiracy theories." No, it does not mock conspiracy theories, like those of the 911 "truth" nuts, but rather publishes numerous articles proving how true and correct the world's nuttier conspiracy theories are, especially when they involve Jewish cabals. It loves reports of the supernatural powers of the Jewish lobby, supposedly dominating the world.

And under the category of commentators on "conspiracy theories" and all round celebration of jihad and Islamofacism, Aljazeera.com has a new columnist.

He is none other than Neve Gordon, a lecturer in political science at Ben Gurion University, in fact the current chairman of the department of political science there. At Ben Gurion University, Zionists and pro-Israel people may not teach in the department of political science. One lecturer who dared to hold pro-Israel dissident opinions was fired by Ben Gurion University for his incorrect thinking.

Gordon is best known for his calls for Israel to be destroyed as part of a so-called "one-state solution," more accurately actually a Rwanda solution of finality to the problem of Jewish existence in the Middle East. Gordon regularly denounces Israel as a fascist, terrorist, apartheid regime resembling Nazi Germany. His "academic record" consists almost entirely of anti-Israel hate propaganda. He has devoted enormous energies to serving as the Israeli apologist for Neo-Nazi Norman Finkelstein. Gordon's writings are so venomously anti-Jewish and anti-Israel that they are carried on the web sites of Holocaust Deniers and Neo-Nazis. Professor Alan Dershowitz wrote about Gordon in the Jerusalem Post on November 8, 2006: " It is my opinion that Neve Gordon has gotten into bed with neo-Nazis, Holocaust justice deniers, and anti-Semites. He is a despicable example of a self-hating Jew and a self-hating Israeli." Gordon is also vehemently anti-democratic and opposed to freedom of speech.

Gordon hates Israel and justifies the Arab terror against Israeli Jews. When his own university campus was under attack by Hamas rockets, Gordon denounced Israel for targeting the Gaza "university" that was serving as the warehouse for those very same rockets. Gordon was arrested when he entered Ramallah illegally to interfere with Israeli military anti-terror operations and to show his solidarity with Palestinian terrorists and mass murderers.

In recent months Gordon became a regular columnist at Aljazeera.com, where he has published articles claiming that Israel is opposed to peace and pursuing violence for the sake of violence in Gaza, claimed Israel is plotting to steal Arab lands, and described violent Palestinians as "a colonized people resisting colonization." You know, just in case Aljazeera would not be pro-terror and anti-Semitic enough, Gordon feels the need to help it along.

So here we have the spectacle of an anti-Semitic Israeli lecturer turning out Bash-Israel and Bash-the-Jews propaganda for one of the most openly anti-Semitic group of jihadniks on the planet. Ben Gurion University regards Gordon's anti-Israel hate propaganda as "scholarship" and "research" and granted him tenure on its basis, proving that serious academic standards no longer are upheld at Ben Gurion University.
