The case of S. Salaita is not first case of Zionist intimidation of the academe. Zionist hoodlums had done that before> in the case against comrade Joseph Massad (who won despite the efforts of the hoodlums), and also in the case against Norman Finkelstein. Norman and I parted company politically in recent years, but who can deny that he suffered so unfairly from Zionist intimidation and harassment and he was denied an academic job purely because his writings offended the Zionist establishment?
