Pro Hezbollah petition online

You can find a list of Hezbollah supporters who've signed a petition affirming their love of the terror organization.

Of course one name jumped out at me:

Norman Finkelstein (Prof. History, DePaul Univ.) From more information on Finkelstein, scroll down a couple of posts. (Note: Finkelstein is actually a political science professor at DePaul, so this one is suspect.)

However, Finkelstein has shown interest in at least one other online petition, one belonging to the Muslim Refusenik, Irshad Manji.

A few more American university signatures I'd like to point out:

  • Ahmad Dallal (Prof. of Islamic Studies, Georgetown Univ.)

  • Osama Abi-Mershed (Prof., Georgetown Univ., US)


  • Georgetown, which calls itself a Jesuit university, has become a "Jihad U."

  • Mohammed Abed (Prof., Philosophy, Univ. of Wisconsin--Madison, US)


  • UW Madison has a 9/11 consiracy nut, Kevin Barrett, teaching a course on Islam this fall.

  • Lara Deeb (Asst. Prof., Univ. of California, Irvine)


  • UC Irvine hosted a jihadist conference in May, featuring Norman Finkelstein, entitled Holocaust in the Holy Land.

  • Georges Saliba (Prof., Islamic Sciences, Columbia Univ.)


  • Columbia College is a center of anti-Semitism in a mostly unlikely place, New York City.

    The best of the rest from outside academia:

    Chadi Nasrallah (Graphic Designer, Al-Jazeera TV, Qatar)

    Yep, al-Jihad...

    Interesting professions:

  • May Haddad (Doctor, Public Health Worker, & Cultural Activist)

  • Mounzer Sleiman (Political-Military Analyst, USA)

  • Mohamed Hussein (Sales Manager & Activist, Egypt)

  • Lamis Jamal Deek (Palestinian Grassroots Activist & Attorney At Law, NY, USA)


  • The Kids are Not Alright:

  • Fatima Sharafeddine (Children's Author)

  • Nawal Tamimi (Palestinian Pre-School Teacher, USA)


  • Hat tip again to Dr. Steven Plaut in Haifa.
