Massad Shows His True Colors

I forget who coined the phrase "West Side Madrassah" to describe Columbia University. I know, some of us might scoff. Don't.

Just read these ravings from a Columbia professor named Joseph Massad, who figured in the recent whitewash of anti-Israel academics at Columbia. They appeared yesterday on a crush-Israel site called the Electronic Intifada, as well as a Moonbat site called Counterpunch. Judge for yourself.

Massad, as we all recall, was the subject of a famous puff piece in the New York Times on April 8. The article described him as a calm, cuddly, "ingratiating" individual--not the fire-breathing, slogan-spouting nut we have on display here.
