Campus Watch Fellow A.J. Caschetta examines Columbia University’s Center for Palestine Studies (CPS), an Ivy League clearinghouse for PLO propaganda featuring anti-Israel all-stars of academia, such as Rashid Khalidi, Joseph Massad, and Hamid Dabashi. His article appears at The Tower.
When the CPS opened more than eight years ago, founding co-director Rashid Khalidi promised that it would avoid doing “anything that’s directly related to any political activism.” This is laughable. What Khalidi meant is that the CSP would not participate in anti-Israel activism, but this is a lie. The faculty members who comprise the center’s experts are rivaled only by the faculty of Birzeit University for their anti-Israel advocacy.
