ambidextrous racism

Take a look at this, from the Engage site in the U.K. Note: The UCU (Union of Colleges and Universities) is a recent amalgam of two unions of college and university professors. "Activists" in these unions have long tried to implement a boycott of Israeli academics and/or Israeli universities. The Engage web site was set up to combat these activists, who constitute a small minority of the UCU membership but manage to hijack the UCU executive. David Hirsh is one of the founders of Engage, where he recently posted this item:

"Yesterday Jenna Delich, a UCU member, wrote the following message on the activist list in order to support a colleague who was arguing in favour of a boycott of Israeli academics:
John,

In support to your link this may be a long but also an interesting reading:

No comment necessary. The facts are speaking for themselves.

JENNA DELICH
The website to which she links is the website of David Duke, who is a well known right wing antisemite and a former leader of the Klu Klux Klan."

To "Jenna": Yes, I agree no comment is necessary. The fact that you link to a KKK-related web site certainly does speak for itself. 'nuff said.
