...numerous cases of civil rights abuses in the past, Jubran was chosen (hopefully despite his beliefs and not because of them) to be honored with an invitation to speak at Harvard. To my knowledge, HIPJ and CLUH have never before hosted a speaker who refused to condemn violence against civilians. In not doing so, these groups have acknowledged that there are positions that, while protected by free speech, are so heinous that they render a person unfit to address a civilized crowd. By inviting Jubran, these groups are sending the message quite clearly that they do not consider the targeting...

...which President Bush has signaled he won't veto, accuses Syria of sponsoring terrorism, seeking weapons of mass destruction and occupying Lebanon.

Here in the United States, however, the Bush administration supported Israel’s attack as a fair defense tactic. President Bush argued: “Israel’s got a right to defend herself; that Israel must not feel constrained in terms of defending the homeland.” Likewise...
...advocate for Palestinian independence in the U.S.; of leukemia; in New York City. A fierce critic of Israel and U.S. Middle East policy, the Jerusalem-born author and scholar advocated a single, binational state for "dispossessed" Palestinians. Though he repudiated terrorism generally, he drew ire for his refusal to condemn specific violent acts by Palestinians. The author of the influential study Orientalism, which argued that Westerners distorted and demeaned Middle Eastern culture by stereotyping, Said lived most of his life in the U.S., married a Quaker and for a time reviewed music for the Nation, acknowledging that he often felt...
