...interested to learn from from an op-ed by Professor J. Lorand Matory ’82, "Israel and Censorship at Harvard" (Sept. 14), something I had never discovered in my life’s experience: that my membership in the "gravely traumatized" Jewish people affects my ability to participate in "critical" discourse. Enough critical ability has survived the trauma, however, for me to realize that Matory is wrong about the nature of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism...
Every single word written about me by Professor J. Lorand Matory '82 is demonstrably false (“Israel and Censorship at Harvard,” op-ed, Sept. 14), as any review of what I have written will demonstrate. No one was ever dis-invited from Harvard because they “disagreed sharply with Harvard Law School Professor Alan M. Dershowitz regarding Israel’s military conduct.” Indeed, I publicly opposed the cancellation of Professor Paulins’ talk, and I would never support the cancellation of talks by anyone, even Professors Finkelstein...
Professor J. Lorand Matory ’82 complains about "censorship" of anti-Israel views on campus ("Israel and Censorship at Harvard," op-ed, Sept. 14). His anti-Israel views have been published, so that complaint is void...
...faculty meeting, Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature Ruth R. Wisse vocalized the underlying rationale of such censorship as few other professors have dared. Denying that anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are separate phenomena, she declared anti-Zionism—that is, the rejection of the racially-based claim that Jewish people have a collective right to Palestine—the worst kind of anti-Semitism. For such defenders of Israel, any acknowledgment that Zionism in principle and in practice violates Palestinian rights is tantamount to an endorsement of the Holocaust...
...parody of his intense, energetic, brusque style by Saturday Night Live actor Dan Aykroyd, who famously leaned into his subjects and let out a deafening guffaw. From his stark, smoke-filled studio, Snyder grilled such diverse subjects as Charles Manson and Spiro Agnew and tackled topics like male prostitution, censorship and suicide. Utterly authentic and at ease with viewers, the veteran journalist made a huge hit of Tomorrow, which followed Johnny Carson's Tonight Show--and in doing so laid the groundwork for future late-night stars like David Letterman and Conan O'Brien. Snyder was 71 and had leukemia...
