Haaretz (http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/10-percent-of-israeli-academics-labeled-anti-zionist-by-campus-watchdogs-1.408535)
reports that Ben Gurion University’s worst Anti-Semite Neve Gordon
has set up his own little web site called www.blacklist.co.il that
is an attempt to mock Isracampus. The web site purports to invite
radical leftists to sign up to be added to black lists of
anti-Israel extremists. Gordon claims his web site will allow
leftist academics to search the archives of Isracampus and other
watchdog groups to see if they are listed and find what is said
about them there. But we tried out Gordon’s site and it did not do
any of things Gordon claims it does. It does not even locate any
article written about Neve Gordon himself, showing what an effective
search tool it is!
Meanwhile Gordon lists the owners and
initiators of the webs “blacklist” site he runs here:
http://blacklist.co.il/cgi-bin/bl/who.py
Well, we checked that list of names. Aside from
Gordon himself, none of the people in that list except Yinon Cohen
is even an academic. There are a few students and theater people,
none of whom are focuses of interest for Isracampus. As for Yinon
Cohen, a far-leftist sociologist, he is indeed a radical anti-Israel
extremist. See these:
