A cherished victory, palestinian culture on display.

[Venturer]

Musn’t offend the Muzzies.

[buffaloguy]

Publish it. Now.

This is Texas, no one tells us what to do.

[PLD]

Austin is a liberal paradise ...And University of Texas is the same so they of course will side with the filthy Muslims..

[MuttTheHoople]

UT-Nuremberg

Victory: Denying 29 authors the money and respect they would have earned from being part of an anthology, to support a bunch of bigoted thugs. She might want to find out just what ‘Palestine’ is like these days..

Bah, it won’t matter, it’s coming to a country near her anyway.

[Slings and Arrows]

The Palestinian record for turning everything they touch to sh*t remains intact.

Holy Hussein, Batman, it’s a scorched earth conflict against a racial minority.

[silverleaf]

Solicit 12 more Israelis to replace the withdrawn arab manuscrcipts and publish it. Preferably Israelis who were displaced from Egypt, Iraq, Iran and other “muzzie” lands

[liberalh8ter]

UT Austin should be ashamed of themselves. This Muslim should have been told that her request was tantamount to ethnic and religious discrimination and if that's what she's about, she's better suited back in her Muslim shathole. Instead, they embrace the Muslim hatred and shun our ally.

[treetopsandroofs]

At least THOSE freaks don’t have nuclear weapons — yet — or they’d have used them by now.

This is why Hussein wants to disarm Israel, although it still amazes me that American Jews are such leftists.

UT is an embarrassement to the great state of Texas. Several years ago, the muzzies had set up their tents on campus and were protesting something. They were screaming and shaking their fists at everyone who passed. I must say, it was a bit frightening but that’s their MO. Then there’s the prof (Pianky) who wants to spread ebola so 90% of the population is exterminated. There is nothing of any decent worth in that hell hole, not even their football team.

Before I even looked at the article, I knew this was UT-Austin.

Something are not too hard to figure out!

[tacticalogic]

A cherished victory, palestinian culture on display.

A dog in the manger of civilization.

[Arrowhead1952]

Before I even looked at the article, I knew this was UT-Austin.

Dittos here. The most liberal university in Texas.

[Jewbacca]

Unless I am mistaken, UT did tell her to pound sound, and she got all the other arabs to join her boycott, resulting in no book.

The headline is misleading compared to the text.

[Jewbacca]

UT did not side with the muslims (surprisingly).

FTA: “The Center for Middle Eastern Studies refused to censor or discriminate against the Israelis, but the boycott led to enough withdrawals to make the book project no longer viable, so the publication was discontinued. “

[liberalh8ter]

You are correct but I feel the University should have moved forward and found other authors to continue the project.

Another reason my children went to Texas A & M.
