Harvard Alums who participated in good faith in the Harvard Divestment/Disinvestment Campaign against Israel when your predecessor Larry Summers accused us of being anti-Semitic-- a charge which he refused to defend against me as related below. As a matter
of fact, Harvard is so notoriously anti-Palestinian that the late, great Edward Said refused to accept Harvard's top chair in Comparative Literature when Harvard offered it to him. As a loyal Harvard alum I spent an entire evening with Edward at a Chinese
Restaurant in Manhattan trying to convince Edward to take this Chair. I thought it would be good for Harvard to have Edward teaching there. As a lawyer and a law professor, I can be quite persuasive. But Edward would have none of my arguments. As Edward saw
it, Harvard was so anti-Palestinian that Harvard would have thwarted his intellectual creativity to move there. So Edward stayed at Columbia. Of course Edward was right. And the anti-Palestinian tenor and orientation of Harvard has certainly gotten far worse
since when Edward and I were both students at Harvard. Harvard should be doing something about its own longstanding bigotry and racism against the Palestinians. Not criticizing those of us trying to help the Palestinians suffering from Israeli persecution,
war crimes, crimes against humanity, and outright genocide.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And the fiery liberal spirits whom this area sends to the Illinois legislature - having been lobbied by the Israeli consulate in Chicago - couldn’t bring themselves to vote against legislation that prohibits the U of I (among others) from
investing in companies that boycott Israeli businesses because of Israeli human rights violations (including businesses based in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in contravention of international law). That legislation is now law in Illinois.<br>
<br>
Boycotts of businesses that are based in Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian territory, or that profit from Israeli human rights violations are a means of protesting Israel’s occupation and human rights violations. Such boycotts are legal under US law
and have wide political support in the US and internationally, including by Peace Now (Shalom Achshav) in Israel and Americans for Peace Now in the US, Jewish Voice for Peace, the Presbyterian Church, and United Methodist Church in the US. Any private Israeli
entity that wants to receive funding from the European Union must demonstrate that it has no links to the West Bank. (The ACLU of Illinois opposed the legislation.) <o:p></o:p></p>

Been pretty tied up on other matters. But I did want to react to a letter I saw in the News Gazoo: Yes, I was involved in the long struggle on this campus to convince the University of Illiniwaks to DIVEST from the Criminal Apartheid Regime in South Africa.
Now the University of Illiniwaks are INVESTING in the Criminal Apartheid Regime in Israel. No surprise there after the Illiniwaks illegally fired our Native American Studies Professor Steven Salaita and threw him, his wife and their baby out into the street
with no visible means of support at the behest of the local Zionists. fab<br>
