a Chicago-area universities tour, Professor Steven
Salaita spoke at the University of Chicago on October
7, 2014. He was joined by Electronic Intifada author
Ali Abunimah. The topic of this meeting was to discuss
the facts and implications concerning why a job offer
made to Prof. Salaita in August at the University of
Illinois/Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) was withdrawn by the
administration, following his public tweets
criticizing Israel over the bombing of Gaza and
killing of over 500 children there. </span></div>

is introduced by Brian Leiter, professor of
Jurisprudence at the University of Chicago. Professor
Leiter comments on the legal circumstances. "That
First Amendment right does not come with a caveat to
the effect that only civil or respectful expression is
actually protected...Yet the Chancellor and the Board
of Trustees of the University of Illinois have acted
as though they have a right to punish speakers who say
"f**k" the draft or f**k America or f**k Israel. But
they have no such right."</span></div>

">Salaita is amply quotable. Israel wants
Palestinians to think of themselves "that our
barbarity is atavistic and imminent. It precedes
our subjectivity, restricts our earthly presence
and marks us as inferior. We can achieve the lofty
status of pitiable only when we grovel."</span></div>

Abunimah reveals documents showing the interference of
UIUC's wealthy Zionist donors in the Salaita affair.
Abunimah also speaks of his valuable research on the
Zionist rightwing roadmap for manipulating political
thought on American campuses: "Key pro-Israel lobby
groups, like the David Project, have said in their own
internal strategy documents that the future of the
U.S.-Israel relationship will be decided on
campuses...and they actually identify as positive
trends for Israel the corporatization of higher
education, the growth of private, for-profit
education...and business schools that are growing at
the expense of the humanities as a trend that is
positive for Israel...They also talk about the kinds
of tactics that are to be used at a very specific
level... [The David Project says] in the long term
efforts must be made to limit the ability for faculty
members to use their positions to propagandize against
the Jewish state...In the interim accusing faculty
members who propagandize against Israel of academic
malpractice is likely to be a much more effective
strategy than challenging specific allegations or
invoking anti-Jewish bigotry."</span></div>
