The truth?
Reader comment on item: [Hamid Dabashi:] Columbia University's Hysterical Professor

1. The student referred to him as an "anti-semite". That IS slander. If somebody called me that, I would firmly take up guards against that.

2. Did you or anybody else ever ask this Mr Dabashi to confirm whether or not he indeed does not support Israel's right to exist? Or is everyone just "implying" based on some official position of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

3. As for the "squealing" business, last time I checked, it was the Israeli apologists that "squeal" whenever faced with any criticism whatsoever. I mean, poor Mel Gibson was even painted as an Anti-Semite for his film, and "squeals" of "Jews being attacked because of the movie" were heard everwhere:

I wish people would stop protecting the state of Israel at the cost of attacking Americans, and start thinking about our country, the USA instead.

(same applies to Iranians)
