Brandeis faculty emails reveal anti-Israel bias
Fox News.com ^ | September 11, 2014 | Hollie McKay

Emails within a tight circle of academics at an exclusive university just outside Boston founded by American Jews reveal a long-standing and vehement anti-Israel bias and anger at Fox News and a human rights advocate who renounced her Muslim faith.

Thousands of messages on a Brandeis University ListServ obtained by conservative students and reviewed by FoxNews.com were hyperbolic in their condemnation of Israel, regarding the recent fighting in Gaza and prior conflicts with the Palestinians. Accusations that Israel has committed war crimes and "holocaustic ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians appear in the messages from academics at the school.

In one message, Brandeis Professor of Sociology Gordon Fellman urged Israeli academics to sign an “open letter” to “end the illegal occupation in Palestine.” The letter states that “the government of Israel, having provoked the firing of rockets by its rampage through the West Bank, is now using that response as the pretext for an aerial assault on Gaza which has already cost scores of lives.”

Funny too it was founded as a nonsectarian Jewish community-sponsored coeducational institution on the site of the former Middlesex University. The university is named for Louis Brandeis (1856–1941), the first Jewish Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Ironic, huh.

It is crazy! These self haters; i.e., Jews against their fellow Jews, are more dangerous than the regular antisemites.

I visited there in 1996 and the students looked very diverse as in maybe 20% Jewish. Its disgusting that a Jewish founded university harbors so many anti-Semitic psychos with some of them being Jewish. Justice Brandeis was a Zionist>>>

It is difficult today to imagine a time when American Jewry was not strongly committed to Israel. Before 1914, however, many — if not most – major American Jewish leaders and organizations were either lukewarm or openly opposed to a Jewish state in Palestine.

One man — Louis D. Brandeis of Boston — did more than anyone else to change that attitude. Following Brandeis’s lead, the majority of American Jews came to see a future state of Israel as essential for saving oppressed Jews abroad. They also came to understand it as the key to American Jewish renewal.

The article probably mentions it, Brandeis is the University that pulled its invitation to Condoleeza Rice.

“So, did Rutgers pull a Brandeis? No way.”

So when's the university going to change its name? Brandeis was, as dennisw has reminded us, a Zionist.

Who are they going to rename the university for? Rachel Corey?

Does Brandeis receive any money, in any form, from the US government?

If so, that money should be stopped until these faculty members, and their enablers, are fired.

Brandeis is a Jewish school; the irony is positively shattering.
