The Jews aren’t doing a very good job of silencing Walt and Mearsheimer. The duo arrives in Israel tomorrow to speak at Hebrew U. The Jerusalem Post explains:
Sheffer said he had no hesitations about having the two controversial professors speak at the Hebrew University, even though he didn’t agree with their positions, because if Israel was fighting against academic boycotts abroad, it could not apply one here.
Hebrew University spokeswoman Orit Sulitzeanu said that Walt and Mearsheimer were two internationally known scholars whose book was academically controversial, and whose thesis was that the Israel lobby is unintentionally bad for Israel itself.
She said that the purpose of the lecture was to have a “dialogue” and “academic argument” with them.
