Petition to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations
My readers who teach or have taught in post-secondary education continue kindly to be invited to sign the petition against stigmatizing our colleagues John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard as “anti-Semites” merely for writing a critical appraisal of the role of the Israel lobby in US Middle East policy. They can be right or wrong, but that the paper is out of bounds because it is racist is absurd and also an idea dangerous to intellectual life.
