"And the Saudis have given to numerous universities over the years. A review of Department of Education records published by National Review Online shows that Saudi King Fahd, the Royal Embassy, the Saudi Arabia Cultural Mission, and others have given gifts or contracts totaling about $18 million to the University of Arkansas, nearly $13 million to George Washington University, and $10 million to MIT, to name a few recipients. Saudi Arabia is not unique among Middle Eastern nations in their generosity: Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates all have donated or contracted millions to U.S. universities. Israel, by comparison, has donated very little: about $1.25 million to a handful of universities, including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, MIT, and Columbia, according to Department of Education records." Of course, Israel does not need to give any money because US universities AND government AND media AND Congress render free services to Israeli propaganda. Also, Americans give private donations to US universities to provide services to Israeli propaganda and to establish chairs and tables in Israeli studies. Of course, if it is up to me, I would ban Saudi money until the overthrow of the monarchy. (thanks Amer)
