(NEWS) PLO Envoy Slams Yale For Anti-Semitism Conference

"The PLO envoy to Washington said that a conference on anti-Semitism at Yale University "demonized Arabs."

In an Aug. 30 letter to the university's president, Richard Levin, Ma'en Areikat cited the Aug. 23-25 inaugural conference of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism. The conference was titled 'Global Antisemitism: A Crisis of Modernity.'

'As Palestinians, we strongly support principles of academic freedom and free speech, however racist propaganda masquerading as scholarship does not fall into this category,' Areikat said."
