DePaul: No friend of Israel

So said Bill Dennis yesterday in Peoria Pundit. Also yesterday, an online publication I hadn't heard of, Axis of Logic, published this op-ed by Mark Weber about his opposition to the United Nations' decision to name January 27 Holocaust Rememberance Day.

Axis of Logic has a whole section devoted to far-Left terrorism apologist Robert Fisk, so ths gives you an idea of what type of publication it is.

A little more than a week a ago, that halcyon for truth, the Tehran Times carried a slighly different version of Mark Weber's article, which I blogged about here. Axis of Truth has the whole thing in its unabridged ugliness.

Weber quotes Norman Finkelstein, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at DePaul University.

Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish scholar who teaches at DePaul University in Chicago, writes in his bestselling book, The Holocaust Industry, that "invoking The Holocaust" is "a ploy to delegitimize all criticism of Jews." He adds: "By conferring total blamelessness on Jews, the Holocaust dogma immunizes Israel and American Jewry from legitimate censure... Organized Jewry has ex­ploited the Nazi holocaust to deflect criticism of Israel's and its own morally indefensible policies."

Sounds like the stuff David Duke churns out.

Klocek, who defended Israel, is gone from DePaul, as prior posts explain.
