Academic freedom in America

Would a student group please invite David Horowitz to lecture at a UK university.

It is time the Jews stood up for themselves.
They are being maligned in every quarter and yet most stand around like sheep. Some even believe the negative propaganda sewn out at every opportunity and want to put pressure on Israel to prevent her from protecting herself.

It is not enough to just wring our hands and commiserate with each other.

We need to educate ourselves deeply on the subject, and thanks to Melanie and others, we can... but then we need to go into the mainstream media and speak the truth, in numbers.

The recent arcticle in the Daily Telegraph, that Melanie writes about in her previous post, brought out the rabid antisemites in droves.
in 3 days, it brought forwards 2.839 posts to date.

It is said the pen is mightier than the sword. Certainly humanity has been swayed by the written word... and the education of the British people is poor on this subject.

They need to be educated and it is up to of us to do it

Thanks Mel. An excellent piece which I've just emailed to a few "leftish" friends. However - I can already predict their reponse. They are happy if I lend them "from Yalta to Vietnam" cos that is an anti American history written when Horovitz was a young Marxist/left winger. But now he's no longer a "useful idiot" my guess is that the "comrades and Guardianistas" will reject it out of hand. It's just incredible how many of those on the left can't question their ideology which is almost religious in its hold on thier mindset. Many also assume the worst of motives of anyone who is not a fellow traveller. A very dangerous combination.

Good news indeed...just a pity it took 400 seperate visits to Universities before anything was done.
