Holder of Edward Said Chair to Lecture NY Children

Edward Said was the man most responsible for making anti-Semitism acceptable among the intellectual elite. NY Sun:

A Columbia University professor who has called Israel a "racist" state with an "apartheid system," and who has supported attacks by Palestinian-Arabs on Israelis, is scheduled to lecture a group of New York City public school teachers on how to teach Mideast politics to schoolchildren.

The professor, Rashid Khalidi, is director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University. His professorship is named in memory of Edward Said, a divisive scholar, and is paid for in part with a donation from the United Arab Emirates. ht:Robert Spencer
