Dyn, Read up on the antisemitism rampant at America's Ivy League universities--until very recently. You'll be surprised. And, yes, a black attended Harvard while decades later Jews were kept out. Your reasoning is: Well, if a black was allowed then Jews MUST'VE been allowed. That reasoning would make sense if black men weren't given the vote decades before white women. Sorry. But it's so.

1/3 of Harvard undergrads are currently Jewish, so I find it interesting that until relatively recently Jews weren't allowed at Harvard.

I just checked and a Jew who converted to Christianity taught at Harvard in the early-mid 18th century.

That is obviously nonsense. The first black graduated from Harvard in 1870, the first Amerindian in 1665. Oh but Jews were excluded until the mid-twentieth century? Actually, Jews were excluded from a lot of things until recently. Why don't you tell us when the first Jew graduated from Harvard?

He is right. There may have been quotas against Jews but Jews were not 'excluded'. I don't know the details offhand regarding Harvard, so I didn't say anything. What I can't stand is how it's become taboo for Jews to point out anti-Semitism, when and where it was or is present.

When liberal Jews like Chomsky and Shahak talk about how anti-Semitism is used by Jews to maintain their supposed control over all things Western, I'd say it's become somewhat taboo. From wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky

Chomsky's Jewish? Wow. Who know such a small religious group (in the global scheme of things) could spawn two such radically different people as Noam Chomsky and Paul Wolfowitz.

Chomsky is a genius (at least concerning linguistics, some would say politics is not his forte ), but he uses his powers for evil. Some of his theories on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are ridiculous.

Some of his theories on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are ridiculous. What were his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? I saw him once on Real Time w/ Bill Maher (great show) and he said some ultra left things on Iraq. I did agree with a lot of what he said regarding that issue though, so since then I've always admired him for having balls to take a very Politically Incorrect viewpoint.

Bah, Chomsky's a moonbat, he doesn't have the power to enforce a real taboo. I can see accusations of anti-Semitism becoming something of a taboo among hard-left anti-war types, though. Shahak's just a freak. Unfortunately, any country that practices mandatory military conscription inevitably manufactures such freaks - some people just can't handle it.

If he's some sort of staunchly unpatriotic Israeli, then that's healthy. No country can succeed unless it can produce people who are proud enough to doubt their own nation's intentions.
