Moronic convergence Dept.
This blog has been following two controversies (among others) about distorting Jewish history: The MESA-ization of Columbia University (especially by Professor Joseph Massad), and the film Munich.
These issues converge in a review of Munich by the flower of the Columbia University Middle East Studies Department, Joseph Massad. (Isn't it neat how life does that sometimes?)
RELATED: The Moveon.org of mainstream movie-making: Participant Productions.
[ Alcibiades UPDATES: In a similar vein, Martin Kramer's comments on the Moronic Convergence that led to Joseph Massad's promotion to Associate Professor at Columbia: :
Massad, a Palestinian extremist and protégé of the late Edward Said, was the prime culprit in last year's student abuse scandal. His most famous contribution to the store of human knowledge is his ingenious discovery that Zionism isn't just racism, it's antisemitism...If Edward Said hadn't been pulling all the strings on Morningside Heights, Massad probably would have ended up teaching in a community college. Now he's one step away from tenure at a leading university.
Kramer relates further how in the opinion of David Biale, it was the very din against Massad that led those who formerly had doubts about giving Massad tenure to now side with him.
So protesting against a professor for inappropriate behavior assures the promotion of said professor among a certain cadre of tenured professor? Very, uh, liberal minded of them.
For more about Massad's promotion to Associate Professor, see also the NYSun. ]
