Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Bombard the Islamic
University of Gaza for the Second Time in One Week
(PCHR)
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights Press Release
Ref:
61/2006
Date: 4
July 2006
Time:
12:00 GMT
PCHR
condemns IOF military operations in the Gaza Strip and
the targeting of infrastructure and civilian
organizations, most notably educational
institutions. The Centre calls upon governments,
non-governmental organizations, and UN organizations,
especially UNESCO, to work towards theimmediate cessation
of IOF war crimes against educational institutions in the
Gaza Strip.
PCHR's preliminary investigation indicates that at
approximately 01:15 on Tuesday, 4 July 2006, an IOF
helicopter gunship fired a rocket at a building in the
Islamic University campus in Gaza. The rocket
targeted a student council office, destroying it
completely. IOF had previously targeted the
university building with another rocket on 29 June
2006. However, the rocket fell in the university's
soccer field without causing injury or damage.
In
addition, Atfaluna institution for children with hearing
disabilities suffered damage as result of sonic booms,
caused by Israeli F-16s flying at low altitude and
breaking the sound barrier, over Gaza city last Tuesday
and Wednesday. These caused extensive damage to the
institution's vocational training workshops. A
number of shelves and clay productions were destroyed, as
well as training equipment and tools. Two deaf
students were injured by glass debris caused by one sonic
boom raid.
It is
noted that dozens of Palestinian educational
institutions, including universities and schools, have
suffered extensive damage since the start of Al-Aqsa
Intifada in September 2000. On 25 September 2005, IOF
fighter jets dropped two bombs on Dar Al-Aqram
School. The school is located in the
densely-populated El-Tuffah area of Gaza City and more
than 1200 pupils study there. The air raid
destroyed the three-storey school administration building
completely. In addition, a number of study rooms
were partially destroyed and some nearby houses and
installations were also damaged. The raid also
injured twenty-three Palestinians, including seven
children.
PCHR
calls upon the international community, especially the
High Contracting Parties of the Fourth Geneva Convention,
to intervene immediately to put an end to IOF war crimes
against civilian installations and civilians in the Gaza
Strip.
The Centre calls for:
An
immediate cessation to the targeting of educational
institutions, and an end to violations of the right to
education, ensuring the protection of educational
institutions and prohibiting attacks on them;
Respecting
the rights of vulnerable groups, ensuring protection for
rehabilitation organizations for the disabled, and
respecting their right to education and rehabilitation;
and
A
boycott of the Israeli government by international
academic institutions in order to pressure it to stop
attacking educational institutions.

Israel introduces new travel
restrictions
By Khalid Amayreh in the West Bank
Sunday 11 June 2006, 14:08 Makka Time, 11:08 GMT
Palestinian families have accused
Israel of taking draconian measures, further restricting
their freedom of movement.
According to Palestinian human rights organisations,
the new restrictions involve barring Palestinians
carrying foreign passports, including those married to a
Palestinian spouse, from re-entering the West Bank after
leaving for their adopted country of citizenship, even
for a brief visit.
The new measures also affect long-time foreigners
residing in the West Bank such as college professors, NGO
employees, religious figures and naturalised spouses of
Palestinian residents in the West Bank.
Adel Samara is a noted Palestinian economist residing in
Ramallah. His American wife wants to go the US for a
visit. However, because she is married to a Palestinian,
she is worried that the Israeli authorities wouldn't
allow her to return to her family once she left the West
Bank.
"I really dont know why they are doing this to us. I
am sure there is a special think-tank in Israel
specialised in devising and inventing creative ways to
make us suffer," said Samara.
Right to bar
Samara believes Israeli military authorities were
targeting ordinary people, most of whom are not
politicised and leading a normal lives with their
families and friends.
"There are hundreds of cases. You see, I am barred
from travelling abroad for so-called security reasons and
my wife won't be allowed to return to Ramallah if she
leaves the West Bank even for a brief visit to Jordan
next door."
Aljazeera.net tried repeatedly to get the Israeli army
spokespersons to clarify policy with regard to foreigners
staying in or wanting to enter the West Bank.
A spokeswoman for the Israeli interior ministry said
Israel had the right to bar whoever it wanted from
entering the "territories".
She said: "Those wishing to enter must apply for a
permit and their application could be either accepted or
rejected."
Academics targeted
According to sources at the Bir Zeit University (BZU) in
the West Bank, Israeli measures are also targeting
academics and lecturers working at Palestinian
universities, whether foreigners or Palestinians carrying
foreign passports.
At least two professors and an administration official at
BZU have been barred from returning to the West Bank
without any explanation.
One of the three is Sumaydi Abbas, who holds Swedish
citizenship. Aljazeera.net could not locate Abbas, but
Ghassan Andouni, public relations officer at BZU, said
the Israeli military authorities refused to allow the
Palestinian professor to return "because he didn't
have residency rights".
"You see, they wouldn't even give him a tourist
visa to enter his own country, his own homeland. They
view Palestine, including the West Bank, as Israeli
territory and us as foreigners."
Bahjat Tayyem, who holds US citizenship and teaches at
the BZU political science department, was recently turned
back at the Jordan border while trying to enter the West
Bank at the Allenby Border crossing.
"I think Israel wants to effect a total siege on us,
a total isolation. They are not content with physical
isolation which this evil concrete wall embodies,"
said Anduni.
Andouni accused the Israeli military administration of
trying to "empty the West Bank of foreigners",
especially those working at NGOs as well as peace
activists.
"They want to reduce our towns and villages to
inaccessible detention camps and large open-air prisons
until we succumb to their bullying or implode from
within."
Israeli authorities have also barred international
peace activists whom
they consider sympathetic to the Palestinians from
entering the West Bank.
Peace activists
The International Solidarity Movement (ISM), which
brings to the West Bank peace activists from around the
world to encourage Palestinians to adopt non-violent
means in their struggle against the Israeli occupation,
seems to have been blacklisted.
ISM activists have been for years holding peaceful
demonstrations and sit-ins against Israeli repression of
Palestinians, including the construction of the
separation wall and the bulldozing of Palestinian groves
and farms and homes.
Some Israeli officials, especially within the foreign
ministry, believe ISM activities have been instrumental
in getting a British union of university teachers and a
Canadian workers' union to boycott Israel.
Last week, Israeli interior ministry authorities at
the Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv incarcerated Paul
Larudee, an American peace activist, barring him from
entering Israel and the Occupied Palestinian territories.
According to Larudee's lawyer, Gabi Lasky, the Israeli
authorities gave no explanation why her client was
incarcerated.
However, according to the Jerusalem Post, Larudee's name
appeared on a Shin Bet [Israel's main domestic
intelligence agency]-compiled blacklist of foreigners
identifying with the Palestinian struggle.
Danger to state
The paper quoted unnamed Israeli security officials as
saying that Larudee was an ISM leader who took part in
anti-Israeli demonstrations during the Israeli army
assault on the West Bank between 2002 and 2004.
"This person is a danger to the state. He is one of
the ISM leaders who had been involved in anti-Israeli
activities and therefore will not be allowed into the
country," the security official was quoted as
saying.
Lasky said Larudee visited Israel and the occupied
territories four times and had never been arrested. She
dismissed the security official's explanation as
"dubious".
"To blacklist non-violent peace activists as
'persona non grata' raises questions regarding the
sincerity of Israel's intentions to resolve the conflict
with the Palestinians through dialogue and
non-violence," an ISM statement given to
Aljazeera.net said.

Arab American
Institute AAI Slams Israeli Decision to Bar
Arab Americans from Visiting Occupied Territories
Calls on Bush Administration to Step In
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Arab American Institute today
slammed an Israeli decision to bar Arab Americans from
entering Israel and the West Bank and called for the Bush
Administration to immediately raise the issue at the
highest levels with the Israeli government.
The new policy, apparently enacted recently, has already
affected Arab Americans on trips for business and/or to
visit relatives in Israel and the West Bank.
"This is crude racial profiling and represents the
worst of Israel's systematic discriminatory policies
towards Arabs and Arab Americans," said AAI
President James Zogby. "We would not tolerate a
country barring Americans entry because they are Jewish,
Black, Asian or Latino and we certainly should not do so
because they are of Arab descent."
AAI also expressed grave concern over media reports that
U.S. consular officials in Tel Aviv stating that the U.S.
views the matter as a sovereign decision by another
country.
In denying Arab Americans entry, Israel is in clear
violation of the 1951 "Treaty of Friendship,
Commerce and Navigation" it signed with the U.S.
Article II, Sec. 2 specifically obligates both the U.S.
and Israel to grant each other's citizens the right
"to travel freely and reside at places of their
choice" within each other's countries.
"If the Bush Administration refuses to uphold this
treaty, it is not only Israel that is at fault but the
Administration as well, as it will be saying to Arab
Americans that, 'We do not care about your rights',"
Zogby said. "If that is the case, we will explore
legal remedies."
Under the new Israeli policy, Arab American Congressmen
Darrell Issa (R- Ca.), Charles Boustany (R-LA), Nick
Rahall (D-WV) and Ray Lahood (R-ILL) along with Senator
John E. Sununu (R-NH) would be barred from Israel and the
West Bank.Founded in 1985, the Arab American Institute
(AAI) is a non- profit organization committed to the
civic and political empowerment of Americans of Arab
descent. AAI provides policy, research, and public
affairs.

Protest by former graduates against
teaching censorship in Roosevelt University Chicago
Ilinois
Susan Weininger
Dept Chair Art History
Roosevelt University
Chicago, IL
Ms. Weininger:
I recently read of your decision to fire Prof. Giles for
properly teaching a class. Your hypocrisy is
breathtaking. Please note the following:
* You'r egregrious acts of censorship. have no place in
the academy. If Roosevelt's epigram "Dedicated to
the enlightment of the Human Spirit" means anything,
than free speech and free inquiry should be stimulated
and encouraged. If the academy is not about seeking truth
(wherever it
leads), then it is worse than meaningless - it is merely
a propaganda mill.
* Your despicable and blatant hypocrisy, racism and
arrogance in no way protects the Jewish people nor does
it serve to honor the memory of the millions of Jews and
others lost in the Holocaust. Rather, it disgraces,
defames and dishonors not only these martyrs but all Jews
of conscience all over the world. Your arrogant behavior
is more liable to create anti-Semitism than to
prevent it.
* Yours is exactly the kind of rank censorship (based on
racism and bigotry) that preceded the Holocaust. You are
in very bad company.
* As a Jewish woman, I am appalled by your arrogance and
impunity in taking this action. I insist that you
immediately reinstate Prof. Giles and apologize to the
entire faculty, staff and student body for firing him.
You should resign.
* As the spouse of an adult professional graduate of
Roosevelt University, I can assure you, we will not be
bestowing any gifts whatsoever to the University until
your decision is reversed, Prof. Giles reinstated, and
you are disciplined appropriately.
Thank you.

I recently read of the decision by Department of History,
Philosophy, and Art History Chair Susan Weininger to fire
Prof. Douglas Giles for not agreeing to censor his
students regarding Palestinian issues, Zionism, and
Judaism and other topics critical to understanding the
struggles and beliefs in the middle east . As an honors
graduate, I am appalled that the quality of academics has
fallen to such a low state at Roosevelt in the years
since I attended. I am one of those "Free thinkers,
(who)
share(s) a commitment to social justice. "
that you speak about in your Alumni web site. I am
shocked that people in leadership roles like Dr.
Weininger can promote and support such egregious acts of
censorship. Free speech and free inquiry should be
stimulated and encouraged rather than slapped-down.
Has Roosevelt just become another propaganda mill?
If a university is not about seeking truth and
encouraging free speech than I will never support it
through any form of gift until this outrageous decision
is reversed, Prof. Giles reinstated, and
Susan Weininger is disciplined appropriately.
Thank you.

Lecturer denounces critics of his 9-11 teachings
'Inside job' theory draws calls for firing, UW probe
Posted: July 9, 2006
A University of Wisconsin-Madison lecturer who has
sparked controversy by teaching that the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks were an inside job lashed out Sunday at
public officials who have questioned his right to teach.
Speaking at a gathering at UW-Milwaukee, Kevin Barrett
took aim at state Rep. Stephen Nass (R-Whitewater), U.S.
Rep. Mark Green (R-Wis.) and Gov. Jim Doyle.
Doyle, a Democrat, joined the chorus of critics Friday
by questioning whether Barrett has the "capacity to
teach students in this state."
"I've been teaching for 20 years," Barrett
told a crowd of more than 100, many of them cheering
supporters. "I dare say I know more about teaching
than the governor of the state."
The public sparring came as UW-Madison concludes a
10-day review of Barrett. The university is expected to
announce early this week whether the part-time lecturer
will be allowed to teach a class on Islam this fall, and
if so, whether he will be able to share his theories on
9-11, as he plans to do.
UW spokesman Dennis Chaptman, who attended Sunday's
event, said he was not in a position to comment.
Barrett, a bearded man with unkempt hair, said in an
interview that he had met with Provost Patrick Farrell
twice last week. The provost, Barrett said, never
suggested that he would be prevented from teaching the
fall course titled, "Islam: Religion and
Culture," at a salary of $8,247.
He said Farrell was open to his including theories
that the Bush administration planned the 9-11 attacks for
its own benefit in the class. Barrett has discussed these
theories in a previous class on folklore.
"Basically, the rules of the university are such
that it would be a gross violation of academic freedom to
fire me," said Barrett, 47, who earned his PhD in
African languages and literature from UW-Madison in 2004.
"I don't think they'll stand in the way of my
teaching. I think I'll basically be able to stick with
the syllabus as it currently stands."
The theories that Barrett plans to include in his
upcoming course are espoused by a small but vocal group
of academics that includes Steven Jones, a physicist from
Brigham Young University; David Ray Griffin, a retired
professor from the Claremont School of Theology; and
James H. Fetzer, a retired philosophy professor from the
University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Fetzer, a burly man with a booming voice, co-chairs a
group called 9/11 Scholars for Truth. He outlined the
theories at Sunday's gathering, saying:
Explosives must have been detonated inside the
World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, because the impact
of the airplanes was not enough to bring down the twin
towers.
That the damage to the Pentagon was such that a
smaller military plane, as opposed to a large commercial
aircraft, must have flown into the Pentagon, shooting a
missile as it went.
That the debris of the plane that crashed in
Pennsylvania was scattered so widely that it must have
been shot down.
That half a dozen of the men who are said to
have hijacked the planes are still living in the Middle
East.
"It's a myth," Fetzer said of the generally
accepted view that Islamic terrorists were behind the
attacks. "The American government has been
practicing terrorism on its own people."
Barrett told the crowd that the Bush administration
orchestrated the attacks to justify invading Iraq. He
said the purpose to the war was to take control of oil
and other resources in the Middle East.
"The 9-11 images were designed to make us stupid,
little children," he said.
Nass has called on UW-Madison's chancellor, John
Wiley, to fire Barrett, arguing that it is unacceptable
for Barrett to use the university to add credibility to
"outlandish claims."
Green, who is running for governor, has said that no
public funding should be used to support Barrett's
teaching.
Mark Graul, a spokesman for Green, said "that
he's being paid to teach this garbage is putting a black
eye on the whole state. There is no merit to his theory.
All you had to have was a TV to know what happened on
9-11."
But many of those who attended Sunday's gathering
disagreed.
John Boly, a literature professor at Marquette
University, said Barrett should be able to share his
theories in the classroom.
Maryann Stubbs, a computer programmer at UW-Madison,
agreed. "I think that all viewpoints should be
covered," she said.
Rick Goyett, a 21-year-old auto mechanic from
Whitefish Bay, was convinced by the presentations.
"All you need is common sense to believe that
9-11 was an inside job," he said.
FACT SHEET ON COLUMBIA UNIVERSITYıS
DECISION TO SUSPENDı THE INSTITUTE OF
AFRICAN STUDIES
While Columbia Universityıs School of International and
Public Affairs (SIPA) is holding world-wide celebrations
to commemorate its 60th year Dean Lisa Anderson and
Vice President Nicholas Dirks suspended the Institute of
African Studies (IAS), which is in its 47th year. This
should be a year of celebration for the Institute of
African studies rather it is a year of termination.
Additionally, this decision comes as New York City
Africanists are preparing to commemorate the 50th
Anniversary Annual Meeting of the African Studies
Association in New York. As we distribute this fact sheet
we understand that the evacuation of the Instituteıs
offices has taken place.
1. June 2006 Dean Lisa Anderson, SIPA notified the
students and faculty that she is essentially dismantling
the African Institute: "suspending" its
operations, closing its office and reallocating the space
to the Center on Energy, Marine Transportation and Public
Policy. In its place they are
creating a new Program in "African Studies".
This decision was made without consultation with a
faculty that has been very active in trying to get the
university to address the crippling problems confronting
the Institute.
2.Dean Anderson, a Middle Eastern specialist, appointed
herself the director
of this Program in African Studiesı.
3. Program staff will consist of SIPA's Assistant
Director, Faculty Affairs and Curriculum, Natalie
Tevethia and two student program assistants. However, the
students will be "officially" attached to the
Institute of Middle Eastern Studies. The
"program" will be run out of a small single
room.
4. Two faculty members will be displaced by the move: Dr.
Ousmane Kane, political scientist of Islam in West
Africa, who had an office in IAS will be moved to a much
smaller office next to the Institute of Middle Eastern
Studies and Ms. Mariame Sy, a lecturer in Wolof and
Pulaar, and a doctoral candidate in linguistics, will
lose her office and instructional space.
5. To view Andersonıs letter, faculty letters of
petition from 2004 and 2006 and other documents see http://africanstudies-columbia.blogspot.com/
This announcement comes after the administration of SIPA
and GSAS failed to respond to initiatives by faculty and
students of African studies to rebuild the Institute of
African Studies.
6. Spring 2004: The Provostıs office decided not to fund
a full time associate director after a search had been
completed and a candidate selected. The director, Dr.
Mahmood Mamdani resigned in protest and called for a
university wide commission to address the fate of African
studies at Columbia. In May 2004 African studies faculty
wrote a ' letter of petition' to urge the university to
restore the funding for the IAS staffing positions and to
make a commitment to African studies. Additionally a
section of the IAS office complex was used as a seminar
room for African language classes, seminars, special
events and sessions of the University Seminar on
Studies
in Contemporary Africa.
7.2004-2006: Confronted with university inaction,
committed faculty agreed to serve as part time Acting
Directors of the Institute: Dr. Gail Gerhart (2004-2005)
and Dr. Linda Beck (2005-2006). Under each the Institute
showed signs of resurgence in a key component of the
program - African languages. Under Gerhart IAS won a
4-year Mellon Foundation grant for African languages
(Pulaar, Swahili, Wolof and Zulu) and under Beck it
secured graduate fellowships [$134,000] from the U.S.
Dept. of Education FLAS (Foreign Language and Areas
Studies) program. Under both acting directors, the
Institute faculty worked together to obtain summer
research travel grants
from the Leitner Family Foundation for both faculty and
students. Additionally, in April 2006 Beck organized a
major conference on immigrant Africans in New York City
in collaboration with the Mayor's Office and Museum of
African Art.
8. February 2006: a group of prominent Columbia
African studies faculty petitioned the Dean of SIPA, Lisa
Anderson, VP Vice President, Arts and Sciences, Nicholas
Dirks, and President Lee Bollinger and Provost Alan
Brinkley, to develop a comprehensive plan/strategy to
revitalize the African Institute and to give the
institution a sufficient period to establish structures
for sustainable development. They provided a detailed
picture of the resources that would be necessary to
create a strong competitive program. Only the Dean of
SIPA responded and with a brief note of acknowledgement.
9. April 2006: SIPA students call for a town hall meeting
to express their concerns about the decline of African
studies at Columbia. They highlighted the discrepancies
between publicized African curricular offerings and
courses actually taught. It had become impossible for
them to complete an African focus for their desired
specializations.
The meeting was attended by interested faculty and
SIPA students, Vice President, Arts and Sciences,
Nicholas Dirks, SIPA Dean, Lisa Anderson, and SIPA
Associate Dean for Faculty and Curriculum Affairs, Rob
Garris. V.P. Dirks noted that GSAS were beginning to
address the lack of Africanist faculty and noted several
hires. Garris and Anderson asserted that they were trying
to identify a part time director or interim director.
Additionally, SIPA was reviewing the relationship between
regional Institutes and academic departments and was
exploring the possibility of providing budgetary
incentives for departments to hire regionally-focused
faculty.
Why the Institute of African Studies needs your support:
* Both Deans Anderson and VP Dirks have led students and
faculty to believe that the institution would make a
'good faith' effort to rebuild African studies
* However, the Anderson/Dirks plan does not reflect an
effort to rebuild the
Institute rather to terminate it.
* The Anderson/Dirks plan claims to begin a period
of planning for a strengthened African studies presence
at Columbia. However, this unilateral 'restructuring' and
a past of extensive neglect raises serious questions
about the future of African studies at Columbia.
* The absence of IAS even in the interim, threatens the
FLAS fellowships that the faculty secured. This creates
an irregular fellowship selection process and the absence
of an African Language Coordinator and the Institute
deprives the FLAS program of adequate supervision. We are
concerned that this decision violates the U.S. Department
of Educationıs Guidelines for the
FLAS grants.
* With the allocation of the IAS offices to the OSIPA's
Center for Energy, Marine Transportation and Public
Policy; African programs, will lose a meeting space for
the University Seminar on Studies in Contemporary Africa,
the numerous lunch-time seminars, as well as a space for
special events and African language courses.
The legacy of 47 years of African studies at
Columbia should not be one of institutional neglect.
As alumni we need to express our dissatisfaction and
assist in revitalizing
the Institute of African Studies.

NASS: DEBATE
BARRETT! campaign launched
Wisconsin Representative Steve Nass and gubernatorial
candidate Mark Green have repeatedly stated that
University of Wisconsin instructor Kevin Barrett should
be fired because his views on 9/11 are "academically
dishonest" and because he has "no
evidence" to back them up.
Yet both have thus
far refused Barrett's call to examine and debate the
evidence. "That would be like debating whether the
bogeyman exists," a Nass spokesman said Thursday on
WORT radio.
Barrett has cited dozens of books, hundreds of articles,
and abundant audio and video footage, and is the editor
of an academic book on 9/11, and the author of an
academic article on 9/11 to be published this September: http://mujca.com/newbook.htm He is a member of Scholars
for 9/11 Truth, and cites evidence published in its
website and journal: http://st911.org He is also a member of
the Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven
(SPINE) and cites articles published at its website: http://physics911.ca
Barrett and his
supporters are calling for every 9/11 skeptic on the
planet -- and we number into the billions, and include at
least 42% of the US population according to Zogby -- to
call, write, fax and email Steve Nass, Mark Green,
Provost Patrick Farrell, Madison's Capital Times,
Wisconsin State Journal, and Isthmus, and the Milwaukee
Journal with the simple message:
"NASS: DEBATE BARRETT!"
