"The avowed mission of the Harvard Kennedy School, host of the upcoming conference, 'is to strengthen democratic governance around the world by preparing people for public leadership and by helping to solve problems of public policy.' How farcical that instead of seeking to strengthen democratic governance, its students hijack its forum for 'studying' how to destroy the hardiest democracy in the Middle East."

Speakers in the 'One State Conference' send a letter to Harvard President Faust and HKS Dean Ellwood: "The charge that the conference is 'one-sided' is completely and entirely baseless." Baseless! "It is wholly unacceptable for the university to distance itself from the ideas expressed in the conference," because it is "defamation" to "portray us as extremists who hold repugnant ideas." The deceit continues.

The Harvard ‘One State Conference’ is not part of Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), say its organizers. But as you can see from this poster promoting IAW, it’s a line so fine that you can’t make it out.

There's a lot of commentary about the Harvard 'One State Conference,' and rather than link to each individual item, I've put all the references in one place at the link. New additions: American Jewish Committee statement, Harvard Crimson and Inside Higher Ed articles, pieces by Jeffrey Goldberg and Andrea Levin. Bookmark the link, I'll keep adding material as it comes in.

"Consider only a fraction of what dictators and rock stars share: palace residences, obsessively broadcast concern for the poor, appearances before strange crowds who chant their names, flattery from media sycophants, protection from hired flunkies who allow their eccentricities full expression, an ever-ready foul word for Israel, and another for the US. Rock stardom is dictatorship without death squads."

"Newly released pictures of British rock star Sting laughing it up with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in 2008 seem to capture a moment of natural affinity. Who but a rock star understands the demands of the dictatorial daily grind?"

The petition insisting that Harvard defund and disavow the "One State" hate fest and remove it from Harvard facilities now has almost 2,000 signatories, and the goal gets raised as the number rises. (It was originally 1,000, now it's 3,000.) One wonders whether the various deans and directors (Kennedy, Carr, Weatherhead) knew that the event was timed to coincide with 'Israel Apartheid Week.' Dupes or enablers?

A student group sponsoring the Harvard hate-fest, the GSAS Alliance for Justice in the Middle East, hailed the shouting down of Israeli Amb. Michael Oren at UC-Irvine as "a courageous act" to be "commended" (http://goo.gl/q48K0). The keynote speaker on Day One of the hate-fest, Ali Abunimah, is shown in this 2009 clip, being removed by police for disrupting Ehud Olmert at the U of Chicago. Enemies of free speech.

Dersh: "What would Harvard do if right wing students and faculty decided to convene a conference on the topic, 'Are the Palestinians Really a People?' and invited as speakers only hard right academics who answered that question in the negative? Would the provost office help fund such a conference? Would the Kennedy School grant it legitimacy by hosting it? Would the Carr or Weatherhead Center support it?"

Best piece on the Harvard fiasco so far: "What this conference clearly is not is a true academic or scholarly exercise designed to reveal some rational and reasonable solutions in the Middle East; instead, it is yet another opportunity for ideologues with an anti-Israel, anti-Western agenda to trumpet their perverse views under a cloak of academic respectability, and here even with Harvard's imprimatur."

"The participants of the Harvard conference are a traveling road-show of politicized scholars, propagandists, and non-academic activists with only a thinly-veiled animus towards Israel and Jews."
