Felix de Rosen at the Harvard Political Review says that Harvard has been unjustifiably silent over the expulsion from Israel of Hebah Ismail, a law student who planned to study the Bedouin human rights situation
Why was Hebah prevented from entering Israel? She had passed security clearance and had a letter from the Human Rights Program of Harvard Law School providing details about her research. But she was a Muslim. Airport security forces at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport routinely use ethnic and religious profiling as an index of suspicion; if you look Arab, if you have an Arabic name, or if you wear Muslim clothing, you immediately become suspect. Hebah’s story is just one of countless others that are becoming increasingly commonplace in Israel today, and that we simply never hear about. Every day, men and women are banned from Israel solely because of their religion, the color of their skin, and their veils and skullcaps. And Ben Gurion Airport is one part of a larger program of institutionalized discriminiation. …
What angers me most has been Harvard’s response to Ismail’s case. Not only has one of Harvard’s students been prevented entry into a country, but [Clinical Instructor Ahmad] Amara’s land rights project cannot be completed. Yet Harvard’s Human Rights Program has remained completely silent. No doubt fearing reprisals from various sectors of the Harvard community, not one on-campus group has issued a public statement. Harvard’s passivity in the face of such discriminatory policies is both shameful and disturbing. How can Harvard call itself an institution of academic integrity when it implicitly consents to discriminatory policies that expel one of its students from a country and prevent her from completing her research?
Israeli apologists have desperately responded to this case by justifying the behavior of the Israeli security apparatus.
Just the latest example on Mondowiess of a double standard. The double standard is well illustrated by Phil’s POV versus Dick Witty’s–he’s a regular commenter on Phil’s web site; he does his best to obfuscate the obvious via his abstract “humanistic” spiel, all the while ignoring reality (especially concerning the daily reality of Palestinians and the daily reality of USA hasbara TV and MSM), which he ironically says he represents. And here it is encapsulated by Phil, the anti-Zionist, versus Witty, the “universal humanist Zionist”:

Ah, that takes me back. Before the great purge on Huffington Post, where anyone who dared to criticized the hasbara-bots wouldn’t get banned or have their comment submissions summarily purged.
I’m not sure I agree that there’s a double standard here. Or at least, the times there has been evidence of it, Mr. Weiss and his colleagues have openly addressed and rectified it.
And like I keep saying, Witty is a godsend to us. He is the best, most articulate entity of any strain of Zionist that can be thrown at us, and he’s still a blatant liar, denier and heartless bastard. Seriously, it’s like being a prosecutor in the trial of a serial sex offender and having the defendant physically accost someone right there in the middle of court proceedings.
Yeah, Witty sure does blow. And he’s protected by goys as to his infant suck job.
Why don’t you look at Harvard’s endowments

RE: “A Muslim student is denied entry to Israel and Harvard is silent. Why?” – Weiss
MY HYPOTHESIS: They are probably all deathly afraid of The Terminator, Alan Deshowitz. He’s a torture advocate, you know. And he recently issued a fatwā against Justice Goldstone (by judging him to be a moser). Of course, he now claims it was all a big misunderstanding. A mistranslation or something like that. “That G-ddamned secretary!”
RE: [The Terminator] recently issued a fatwā…by judging him to be a moser
ELUCIDATION: After all, who would want to end up like Yitzak Rabin (a month or so after being adjudged a moser)? Think about it , Phil.
RE: “A Muslim student is denied entry to Israel and Harvard is silent. Why?” – Weiss
PHIL: Need I remind you (yet again)what happens to “nosy fellows”?
Yelburton: “My goodness, what happened to your nose?”
Jake Gittes: “I cut myself shaving.”
Yelburton: “You ought to be more careful. That must really smart.”
Jake Gittes: “Only when I breathe.”
