On May 6, Ali al-Amin Mazrui, director of the Institute of Global Culture Studies at SUNY Binghamton, openly presented his views that Jews are manipulative geniuses who wield far more power in the United States than they should. During his remarks he questioned: "Whether [President Barack] Obama will be able to escape the notion that three percent of the country is so powerful that the top gentile in the land cannot criticize Israel is not clear."  

Mazrui was addressing an "academic" conference at Columbia University. The organization that sponsoring the conference is supposedly dedicated to "gain [ing] some depth to the study of Africa." He spent most of his time comparing Jews to Arabs. His race based analysis led him to observe that "Arabs lagged behind Jews in manifest genius." He asked "What aspects of Marxism are taken from Judaism?"

Why is someone who sees Jews as a race apart from the rest of society given an academic perch -- especially one at a publicly supported institution? Tell the University President Lois DeFleur what you think by emailing her at ldefleur@binghamton.edu.

To add insult to injury, one of his panel members has accused Israeli archaeologists of distorting the historical record to defend the Jewish State. Her polemic was published as Facts On The Ground.
