Prof. Joseph Massad — perhaps best known for kicking a student out of class for questioning his anti-Israel tirades — has compared Jews to Nazis and holds that a form of psychosis compels them to persecute Palestinians. Moreover, in Desiring Arabs, he accuses homosexuals of being anti-Arab conspirators.
The Daily News calls his scholarship “lunacy.” Will Columbia’s trustees agree and deny Massad tenure, thus drawing a line against the growing perception that the university is allowing politcial advocacy to trump academics?
