True to form, Columbia University professor and former PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi marked the centennial of the Balfour Declaration with an NYU lecture consisting of anti-Israel propaganda. CW Fellow Mara Schiffren's report appears at the Algemeiner:
Last month Rashid Khalidi, now Columbia University's Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies, renewed his PLO bona fides by marking the centennial of the Balfour Declaration with the lecture "The Balfour Declaration from the Perspective of its Victims." It was the first in the series "Palestine/Israel: 100, 70, 50" at New York University's Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, marking three anniversaries Palestinians abhor and Israelis celebrate.
