[Peace-discuss] Sunday News Gazette Letter to the Editor: AAUP lies on Salaita!

[Boyle, Francis A]

Historically, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, its Boards of Trustees, its Presidents, its Chancellors, its Provosts, its Deans, Directors and Department Heads, and most of its Faculty and Alumni/ae have always been the Ku Klux Klan dressed up in Caps and Gowns instead of Hoods and Sheets. Ditto for Wise {sic!}!

I am going to stage a new Production for a  halftime show  at the football games  entitled: "Phyllis Wise {sic!} and the Revenge of Chief Illiniwak!" Chief! Chief! Chief! Chief! Etc. Etc. Etc. Ad Nauseam. Way to go Phyllis!

Speaking of Chomsky:
The Racist Mascot: Why You Should Still Boo Illinois


The self-styled "Fighting Illini" of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are on their way to the Jan. 1, 2008 Rose Bowl with their racist and genocidal mascot and symbol Chief Illiniwak still in tow.  Although the NCAA  forced the University of Illiniwaks to prevent this Little Red Sambo from desecrating at half-times everything American Indians hold dear and treasure, nevertheless Chief Illiniwak still remains the officially designated "honored symbol" of the University of Illiniwaks at Urbana-Champaign. Just recently the University of Illiniwaks resurrected Chief Illiniwak for their Fall 2007 Homecoming in order to better  milk their  Alumni/ae as part of their newly launched Capital Campaign, thus definitively  proving their craven racism. In his Year 501: The Conquest Continues (1993) Noam Chomsky suggests an apt metaphor for such American Indian sports  mascots and symbols that I will elaborate upon here in order to conform to our local and most peculiar rites on this campus:



Suppose the Nazis had won the Second World War. Sixty years later, a prestigious German state university has a mascot for all of its sports teams and sports fans by the name of "The Rabbi." Basically what happens is that a student from the Hitler Youth League dresses up in an authentic costume for an Hasidic Rabbi, complete with the curl-locks and a beard. The University itself   collectively call themselves "The Fighting Jews," and the school's band is called "The Marching Jews." The student newspaper is called "The Daily Jew."   All the sports fans in town wear jackets and t-shirts with pictures of The Rabbi prominently displayed on them. And most cars have Rabbi stickers planted all over them.  Three years   ago the University's Board of Trustees ran out of town on a rail a courageous and principled Chancellor who had the temerity to publicly suggest that the time had now come to "retire" the Rabbi. So of course there was a heated campaign on among the students and alumni to "Save the Rabbi!"



This German state university plays its soccer matches over at the Nuremberg Stadium in front of an audience of about 75,000 White Aryans, almost all of whom are wearing pro-Rabbi images and clothes. At half-time the Marching Jews take to the stadium floor and begin playing what they purport to be Jewish sounding music along the lines of Fiddler-on-the-Roof. Then all 75,000 White Aryans rise as one and shout in unison: "Rabbi! Rabbi! Rabbi! Rabbi!" gesticulating wildly and working themselves up into a feeding frenzy. One lone faculty member sits there in protest shouting "Racist Rabbi!" and everyone in the vicinity proceeds to throw garbage at him.1



Finally, the moment these ardent White Aryans have all waited for has arrived. The Rabbi runs out onto the arena floor from among the Marching Jews, proceeds to the center of the Nuremberg Stadium, and dances the Hava Nagila while the Marching Jews play on and march into an intricately choreographed maneuver that they all brag about and take special pride in that culminates with the band being organized into a Swastika. So the Rabbi continues to dance the Hava Nagila while the Marching Jews march themselves into a Swastika. By now all 75,000 White Aryans are hysterical, shouting, screaming and yelling: "Rabbi! Rabbi! Rabbi!" This semi-religious spectacle that the Nazis are well known for staging, especially at the Nuremberg stadium, goes on for a good twenty minutes. It all concludes with everyone joining hands to sing "Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles," with the Rabbi leading all 75,000 White Aryans in the song. Then the Rabbi proceeds to dance the Hava Nagila out of the stadium followed by the Marching Jews. Everyone goes wild, clapping and cheering. This Rabbi ceremony brings tears to the eyes of many drunken alumni and students who had started several hours beforehand getting inebriated on schnapps and good German beer at pre-game tailgate parties.



When it is all over, a visiting law professor from another country asks his host at the soccer match what this spectacle was all about. Without missing a beat Dean Mengele of the Law School turns to his guest and says: "We are honoring the Jews." Whom the Nazis had just exterminated 60 years ago, so of course the memory of the Jews needs to be honored by this spectacle. The Illiniwek Indians were ethnically cleansed out of Illinois about a century before that. These are the real "Little Eichmans." Be sure to "Boo!" and root against the Illiniwaks.



Historically, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, its Boards of Trustees, its Presidents, its Chancellors, its Provosts, its Deans, Directors and Department Heads, and most of its Faculty and Alumni/ae have always been the Ku Klux Klan dressed up in Caps and Gowns instead of Hoods and Sheets. Ditto for Wise {sic!}!

Several years ago when Norman was teaching at DePaul the Arab Law Students and I invited him to come down here and give an Address on the Middle East. I reserved the Law Auditorium for this event. Many Jewish Law Students publicly attacked Norman on the law school email system for being a "self-hating Jew." So in my Introduction of Norman to the audience I said something to the effect that Norman fits within the Prophetic Tradition of the Jewish People along the lines of Chomsky. In response to a  question after the lecture, Norman stated that in his opinion the Nazis had exterminated somewhere between 5.2 to 5.4 Million Jews. That's a self-hating Jew for you?

Stanlingrad

We got off the boat at the dock
Walking into town I was asked
Could I lay some flowers
At the War Memorial
On the Banks of the Volga?
Of course I said yes
Honored and pleased
My Dad had fought the Japanese
At Saipan and Tinian and Okinawa
Nazis were not his war
But We were all Allies together
In the Noble Cause to Defeat Fascism
As I neared the Statue
On the Banks of the Volga
Young Komsomol Girl appeared
All dressed in white
Carrying a wreath of red roses
She gave to me
A band was playing
Joyful, not somber, but subdued
Town Elders assembled
Sun was shining
Most beautiful day
On the Banks of the Volga
I lay my wreath of roses
To the Defenders and Victims of Stalingrad
Bowed my head in silent reflection
If the Soviets had not held at Stalingrad
All Europe today would be speaking German
And saluting: Heil Hitler!
Deutschland, Deutschland
But not Uber Alles
My Dad was smiling
On the Banks of the Volga

Kirstein at Xavier U:
"The UI persecuted a professor and bought its way off the censure list with a settlement which settled nothing," Kirstein  said.
"Dr. Salaita does not have an academic appointment and the American Indian Studies program is gutted. From the Chief to Salaita, the war on Native American culture and studies continues. It is outrageous that the US is not censured."

For sure! Ditto and a fortiori! The Zionists destroyed Salaita's career as a professor for a mere $800,000 in taxpayers money. No skin off their nose. Just like the Zionists did to my Friend Norman Finkelstein at DePaul University:They are supposed to be "Catholic"-LOL! And here Wise {sic} also destroyed our entire Native American Studies Program forever. Way to go Phyllis! A two-fer for your bigotry and racism! Speaking of "Catholics"-may you rot in Purgatory!

A report from an AAUP representative who visited the UI in April found that the climate for academic freedom is "robust", said Anita Levy, Senior program officer for Academic Freedom,Tenure and Governance.
That is a bald-faced lie by the AAUP! The bigoted and racist persecution of Steven Salaita by the entire University Administration, many Faculty and large elements of the surrounding Community has terrorized and intimidated Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims of Color on this Campus and absolutely nothing has been done to alleviate it by the University of Illinois. Likewise,  the University's longstanding bigotry and racism against American Indians still remains and has never been repudiated, rectified or even apologized for. Chancellor Wise's illegal firing of Steven Salaita was a two'fer for bigotry and racism on this Campus that is still pervasive against all People of Color here.
