Update: Campus wars, US & Australia

In late 2006 SBS-TV's Dateline program reported that US group Campus Watch, backed by the powerful Zionist lobby, has professors of Middle East Studies under surveillance and promotes termination of their careers for non-conformist views. This followed revelations of payment to students to spy on Left professors at UCLA, vilified as the Dirty Thirty: see http://www.swans.com. Now Norman Finkelstein, outstanding Middle East scholar, faces non-tenure after Zionist Alan Dershowitz intervened: see Chomsky at http://www.zmag.org and http://www.petitiononline.com. Are there Australian parallels? See http://news.sbs.com.au/dateline
