A new type of McCarthyism is alive and well in the US - and creeping into Australia too.
The SBS Dateline program last night tackled the topic:
"With the history wars, the culture wars and the Australian values furore, allegations of bias have been flying thick and fast in this country. We in the media have sort of grown used to it over the years. But in the US right now, those same sort of allegations, at least where academics are concerned, are not to be sniffed at. A lobby group calling itself Campus Watch has American professors of Middle East Studies in the crosshairs."

Michael Danby, one-eyed pro-Zionist Federal Labour MP - he, who famously sought to stop publication by MUP of a book 1 year before its publication and then slammed the author of the book saying he, Danby, would not read it - is shown up for where he is coming from in a discussion with Professor Andrew Vincent [also on Dateline last night]:
"Federal Labor MP Michael Danby claims bias is, in fact, a cause for concern in Australian tertiary institutions, and one of his prime targets is the Centre for Middle East Studies at Sydney's Macquarie University. Well, earlier today, Dr Andrew Vincent, the centre's director, joined George Negus here in the studio to face his critic. George Negus began by referring to a parliamentary speech in which Michael Danby himself a Jew, accused Dr Vincent of imparting "endless one-sided propaganda" in his courses that examine the Middle East conflict."
The transcript of the discussion is here.
The Israel Lobby or derivatives or "associates" of it must be stopped. They are out of control and seem to know no bounds of decency, honesty or propriety either.
