Massad at Cornell: ‘It is the End of the Zionist Colonial Adventure’

Joseph Massad

Columbia University professor and notorious Israel-basher Joseph Massad recently delivered a speech at Cornell University, in which he declared, “It is the end of the Zionist colonial adventure” and proposed that, instead of working for a two-state solution, the BDS movement continue “boycotting all Israeli academic and cultural institutions . . . until Israel ceases to be a racist state.” He also suggested activists employ buzz terms such as “racism,” “colonialism,” and “occupation” to render BDS more palatable to American and European students. The Cornell Review blog has the details.
