If you're going to talk about the views of someone on this list then you MUST be able to present a quotation of that person -- which obviously you cannot to justify such a charge. OF COURSE I never "defended shutting down the refugee event at Stanford." I have been researching this, and in fact the event was only "shut down" by the speaker herself who took offense at the request made by two individuals who weren't even representing Stanford SJP. Anyone with principles would have just gone ahead and spoke her mind, regardless. Instead it seems this person acted (or was used) in order to promote divisiveness rather than what she was brought there to present. And then Amith gets to frame this unfortunate incident in terms of a disagreement over the legitimacy of Israel?? More bullshit! I haven't ever heard a single Palestinian defend any "legitimacy" of Israel, nor does the solidarity movement speak in such terms. CERTAINLY not the Stanford SJP! What I question the legitimacy of is right-wing organizations suddenly presenting themselves as friends of the Palestinians, when if you look at their origins you'll find they hate Arabs just as much as they hate Jews. And I find it troubling, to say the least, that Amith is on a personal email basis with a leader of such a group. - Jeff _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
