Fear and Loathing at DC's 'Israel Lobby' Conference

A recent DC conference titled “Israel Lobby and American Policy” featured an A-list of anti-Israel academics and Israel haters. They included Rabab Abdulhadi, the infamous San Francisco State U. professor rebuked by the U.'s president for declaring on her department’s official Facebook page that “Zionists are not welcome [at SFSU]. Zionism is racism.” Andrew Harrod reported on the paranoid confab for Campus Watch; his report appears today at the Iconoclast at the New English Review:

“What stops Israel from launching a similar final solution to the Palestinian people,” asked an audience memberwhile recalling Islamic State genocide at Washington, DC’s recent “Israel Lobby and American Policy” conference(videos and transcripts). Meanwhile, a 9/11 Truther asked about the “possibilities of a 9/11 Mossad op-type strike to propel us into Iran like it did in Iraq.” These conspiratorial questions—fielded by conference organizer Delinda Hanley, editor of the anti-Israel Washington Report on Middle East Affairs—exemplified the fanatical bigotry that drew about 180 people to the National Press Club’s main hall.
