'US-led soldier raped Iraqi girl'
Video: US: Lincoln prof. calls for Israel's destruction
History Professor Kaukab Siddique insists statement calling on Muslims to 'stand united to defeat, to destroy, to dismantle Israel – if possible by peaceful means,' was blown out of proportion. 'I am against Israel, not against Jews," he says. Siddique's statements followed several articles in which he questions the validity of the Holocaust and calling it "a hoax."

Academic Freedom and Holocaust Denial
Excerpt:
The Siddique case isn't the first one in which a tenured academic has been criticized for questioning whether the Holocaust happened. Northwestern University periodically faces debate over Arthur R. Butz, an associate professor of electrical engineering who is a Holocaust denier, but who has avoided the topic in his classes.
Siddique's embrace of Holocaust denial could be treated differently because of what he teaches. Cary Nelson, president of the American Association of University Professors and a staunch defender of the right of professors to take highly unpopular positions, said that academic freedom protects the professor's right to criticize both Israeli policy and the moral legitimacy of the Israeli state. Holocaust denial is another matter entirely, said Nelson.

Debating the Holocaust: A New Look at Both Sides By Thomas Dalton
In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares "traditional" and "revisionist" views on the "The Holocaust."
On one side is the traditional, orthodox view -- six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled "deniers," who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.
The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe's Jews.
This book is especially relevant right now, as "Holocaust deniers" are routinely and harshly punished for their "blasphemy," and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized "Holocaust" narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.
The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of "Thomas Dalton," is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.
This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.

doesn't mean I wouldn't say them again
Pa. prof's rhetoric comes under lawmakers' scrutinyOctober 24, 2010(JTA) -- Two Pennsylvania lawmakers have written to the president of a private university in the state about a professor who made anti-Israel statements at a rally.
Kaukab Siddique, 67, an associate professor of English and literature at Lincoln University in Oxford, said at a Labor Day rally in Washington, D.C., that "We must stand united to defeat, to destroy, to dismantle Israel -- if possible by peaceful means." He added, "Dear brothers and sisters, unite and rise up against this hydra-headed monster which calls itself Zionism."
Following last week's release of a videotape of the rally, state Sens. Daylin Leach and Anthony Hardy Williams, both Philadelphia-area Democrats, wrote to Lincoln President Ivory Nelson to find out if his "anti-Semitic diatribes" were being heard as well inside the university classrooms at the historically black university.
"We support academic freedom, and certainly a professor has the right to criticize Israel, or any other entity or policy he wishes," they wrote. But, the lawmakers said, 'the Holocaust is not a theory or opinion. It is historically documented fact, denied only by those with a hateful or anti-Semitic agenda."
Siddique, a Muslim originally from Pakistan, had questioned the validity of the Holocaust at the rally, according to reports, as he has done in published articles.
A tenured professor who has taught at the university since 1985, Siddique told the Philadelphia Inquirer that "I got a little fired up and said a few things that were pretty strong. That doesn't mean I wouldn't say them again." He also said that he is "against Israel, not against Jews."
Lincoln, while a private university, receives public funding and offers reduced tuition for Pennsylvania residents. Notable graduates include Thurgood Marshall, Langston Hughes and Cab Calloway.
Jewish supremacism among Israeli youth
by PAUL WOODWARD on SEPTEMBER 6, 2010 http://warincontext.org/2010/09/06/jewish-supremacism-among-israeli-youth/ Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics released numbers today which show that almost a third of the population is under 15 years old. What can we expect from the next generation? A new poll reveals how deeply entrenched bigotry is in Israel. A survey of Israeli teens revealed that most believe that Palestinian Israelis do not currently enjoy equal rights and, according to most of those holding that view, should not be granted equal rights. Among those 15-18 year old Jewish Israelis polled, 50% said they would object to being placed in a classroom with one or more Palestinian Israelis. 32% do not want to be educated alongside students with special needs and 23% said they would not want gays or lesbians in their class. 96% of the teens want Israel to be a Jewish and democratic state and although almost a quarter of Israelis are not Jewish, 41% of those polled said that Israelis who are opposed to their nation being defined as a Jewish state, should be stripped of their citizenship. Any glimmers of hope? 24% said they would refuse to perform military service in the West Bank. Does that reflect significant opposition to the occupation? I suspect not. More likely it is mostly simply another expression of an aversion for Palestinians. As for reports that Israel's demographic make-up might be changing due to a surge of new immigrants, it turns out that only 14,572 arrived in 2009, contributing to a modest 1.7% growth in Israel's Jewish population. At the same time, Zionists who perceive a Palestinian population controlled through occupation as a "demographic threat," will find no comfort in the fact that Israel's own Muslim population is growing at 2.8%.
