Stanford’s Most Radical Professor Strikes Again

Professor David Palumbo-Liu recommends deeply anti-Semitic websites to readers in an online column.

 

In a Salon article published on Monday titled “Brutal, ugly and illegal: nine things you need to know about the Israeli occupation of Palestine,” David Palumbo-Liu, the Louise Hewlett Nixon Professor at Stanford University and Professor of Comparative Literature, recommended alternative websites for readers to learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Find out more on your own from multiple sources – do not rely solely on the US mainstream media for your information. Look at Mondoweiss, the Jewish Voice for Peace, the American Friends Service Committee, Electronic Intifada, If Americans Knew.”

 

Tablet magazine first exposed this troublesome passage, which lists several anti-Semitic hate sites.

 

If Americans Knew was founded by Alison Weir, and has been widely accused of anti-Semitism, even by anti-Israel groups like the US Campaign to End the Occupation and Jewish Voice for Peace, as well as mainstream groups like the Anti-Defamation League. In addition to blaming Jews for anti-Semitism, Weir has defended the historical blood libel, which accuses Jews of murdering Christian children in order to harvest their blood to make matzo for the holiday of Passover.
