<div>In a recent letter in the N-G, in response to liberal
Zionist Urbana councilcreature David Gehrig's feigned concern
with Islamophobia from Cal Thomas, I wrote that we should be
more concerned about "mainstream" Islamophobia, including that
promoted by local Jewish institutions. The sponsors for the
Pipes event testify to that. If the more "respectable" people
at the Program for Jewish Culture and Society (Matti Bunzl,
Bruce Rosenstock, Michael Rothberg) object to Pipes, let them
publicly say so, or forever hold their sanctimonious and
cowardly tongues about racism, hate, and "Holocaust memory."
The same goes for Gehrig--let him flaunt his pathetic liberal
ACLU cajones with a few sharp words for the Pipester. It will
never happen.</div>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:
'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Pipes is
well-known for his hawkish views and inflammatory
statements. He recently angered Middle East peace
advocates in his April 25 <i>National Post</i> commentary
“Being nice won’t help Israel,” in which he asserts that
Israel must <b><i>“convince Palestinians not of its
niceness but its toughness,” </i></b>arguing that the
more flexibly Israel behaved, the more <b><i>“Palestinians
smelled blood and became enraged at the very existence
of the Jewish state.” </i></b></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:
'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em></em></strong><o:p></o:p></span> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:
'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Early in his
comments Pipes had remarked, “It is deeply unfortunate
that Ateek compares the Germans’ treatment of the Jews to
Israel and the Palestinians.” Using innuendo, Pipes
compared the final fate of the Germans after WWII with
what Palestinians may have to succumb to in the future:
“When the Germans lost World War I they came out with a
sense of grievance and felt stabbed in the back; but when
they were <b><i>thoroughly destroyed</i></b> in World War
II they came out of that with something modern and new.
It’s time for Arabs to move on.” </span></p>

<p style="border: medium none; padding: 0in; margin: 0in 0in
0pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';
font-size: 10pt;">What Israel should do, he added, is <b><i>“respond
with force.</i></b> Punish those that would hurt
[Israel], and their ambitions to do so will fail.”
Asserting that “Arab people live in some of the worse
conditions in the world, without freedom to travel or
modern media,” he blamed those conditions on the Arabs’
“political obsession with Israel.” </span></p>
