Duke-UNC Middle East Studies Departments Sponsor Three-Day Anti-Israel Hate-Fest

Author Peter Reitzes reports on the three-day UNC/Duke “Conflict Over Gaza” conference in a series for the Tower. The anti-Israel hate-fest was sponsored by UNC’s Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies and the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies.

In today’s installment, Reitzes describes Harvard University professor and BDS supporter Sara Roy’s presentation as “a clear acknowledgment that this joint UNC/Duke conference was meant for bashing Israel, not for considering with any depth how Palestinian terrorism forces Israel and Egypt to defend their borders and citizens against endless Palestinian terror.”

Former Duke University faculty member Amy Rosenthal also covered the conference at the Algemeiner.
