Israeli proxy gets busy to silence Americans

An American academic is to be prosecuted for drawing parallels between the plight of Gazans and that of the Jews who suffered under Nazi rule.

Jewish Sociology and Global Studies Professor William Robinson of the University of Santa Barbara in California sent the electronic post entitled 'Parallel photos of Nazis and Israelis' to 80 students in his class,Ynet reported on Thursday.

The message, mailed during Operation Cast Lead, enclosed 25 photos of Nazi victims and equated their predicament with that of the war-battered Palestinians.

The email also included an essay that stated, "Gaza in Israel's Warsaw - one big concentration camp for Palestinian… What we are witnessing is the slow process of genocide."

Two Jewish students immediately dropped the class and filed a formal complaint against Robinson with the Academic Senate Charges Committee. The 50-year-old professor has hired an attorney and his hearing has been slated for May 14.

Professor Robinson has explained in his own words that the issue at hand is that pro-Israel lobby groups have long been exploiting the term 'anti-Semitism' to push forward the goals of political Zionism.
