Yep this is what US Universities have sunk to. Academic freedom and freedom of speech are abolished especially in cases where Israel is concerned. The latest victim of defamation and accusations of anti-semitism is Professor William Robinson -- UC Santa Barbara. He is accused of anti-semitism because he dared to distribute images from Israel's recent actions in Gaza with the Nazi actions in concentration camps. Pressure is brought on the university by the ADL (Anti- Defamation League) to investigate Prof. Robinson on charges of anti-semitism. Several professors have been investigated and some denied tenure (Norman Finkelstein-DePaul University, Joel Kovel-Bard College, and numerous others) because they dare to criticize Israel. There is a website dedicated to tracking professors and where students are encouraged to report their Professors who are critical of Israel and who express their views publicly.
