We disagree. (I explained why I believe you're wrong in my reply comment--and I'm currently working on a full post wrap-up of my experiences and thoughts on this whole Gottheil bruhaha, as well), but thanks for adding the comment, regardless, and I hope there'll be a reader or two of yours who chooses to follow the link and sign the Statement, no matter which of us they otherwise agree with. Thanks for stopping by my place, and thanks again for the space on yours...

As I mentioned in my comment on your post, the point that Gottheil was making, and was made rather well, is not changed by my signing or not signing it myself, regardless of its merits. It does expose the Israel-bias among academia.

Sorry to've missed you over here, Doug... I'm not sure how that happened... Even though you're personally not much of a petition signer, perhaps you'll allow your readers the opportunity to be petition signers, themselves: Dr. Gottheil's Statement of Concern is now posted at PetitionsOnline.com, and is accepting signatures from anyone willing to speak out against human rights abuses in the Middle East. As you're obviously interested in the story, I urge you to step up and sign it: Support Regarding Discrimination in the Middle East against Women, Gays, and Lesbians Petition Thanks for reading, and I look forward to your support.
