Brown University’s Anti-Israel Tunnel Vision

Jared Samilow, a CAMERA fellow and member of Brown Students for Israel, critiques the anti-Israel tunnel vision of Brown University’s Middle East Studies program and its director, Beshara Doumani, who, when asked about one particularly lopsided panel, “replied that because his approach to the conflict is perhaps the academic consensus, he did not feel obliged to include views that diverged from it in his panel.”
