Duke University Press Publishes Jasbir Puar’s Latest Blood Libel

Duke University Pressis publishing a book by Rutgers University professor Jasbir Puar that accuses Israel of “shooting to maim rather than to kill” so as to keep Palestinians “perpetually debilitated.” As Middle East Forum Fellow Asaf Romirowsky put it, “It’s a compliment to call the book academic garbage—and now it gets the imprimatur of a university press, making it a legitimate secondary source that will be taught and cited.”
