Kesher Talk

McCarthy in a kaffiyeh, Part II. FrontPage has more details on Mazin Qumsiyeh's attempted witchhunting of Jewish Yale students. Some of the students listed have been active against the Iraq war, but Qumsiyeh still wants them purged because they are also pro-Israel. I previously noted an echo of Joseph McCarthy's tactics. Let me also remind you of a very recent attempt to purge pro-Israel Jews from the antiwar movement.

UPDATE: Josh Cherniss has some thoughts on racism and antisemitism, in which he mentions the Qumsiyeh controversy. I think Josh is being too kind. It quacks, Josh. Don't be shy to call it a duck.
