How the Israel Lobby Took Over America’s Universities

Paul Craig Roberts

Cornell University, once a place of discussion and learning, is seeking to remove a tenured Jewish professor, Eric Cheyfitz, who permits Israel to be discussed instead of simply praised.  The professor’s daughter and granddaughter live in Israel.

But this doesn’t save him from being charged with discrimination against a Jewish graduate student.  The professor’s trouble was brought to him by an Israeli student who previously served in Israel’s elite military surveillance agency, Unit 8200.  None of the students support the Israeli student’s claim.

It seems the Israel Lobby is testing how far it can expand its power over America’s universities.  If the Lobby can get Cornell University to punish a tenured Jewish professor based on a complaint by a former member of Israeli Military Surveillance, then Israel will have set the standard for American universities that truth about Israel constitutes anti-semitic discrimination and is punishable.

The Israel Lobby took over American universities with large monetary grants.  Now dependent on these grants, university administrators have to follow the line. ........more........
