Profs to America and Israel: Burn, Baby, Burn!

As part of a webinar, Rutgers University law professor Noura Erakat and Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi demonstrated their hostility towards Israel and hatred of the West.

Rutgers professor Noura Erakat -- whose cousin was killed earlier this week when he rammed his car into an Israeli checkpoint guard -- and former PLO spokesman & Columbia professor Rashid Khalidi smeared America and Israel in a webinar earlier this month. In a report published yesterday at JNS, Campus Watch Fellow Andrew E. Harrod places the pair’s bigoted ideology in perspective.

“We are witnessing right now in the United States one of the most remarkable uprisings of black people against the structural regime of racial domination,” exclaimed Rutgers University law professor Noura Erakat. In a June 3 Arab Center Washington, D.C. (ACW) webinar alongside the equally extreme Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, this Palestinian-American academic duo drew on the intellectually vacuous rage of “intersectionality,” and the cult of victimhood it supports to connect America’s and Israel’s supposed sins. Along with five other panelists addressing the webinar’s topic, “The Threat of Israeli Annexation: Regional and International Implications,” the pair denounced America and Israel as allied imperialists.
