Intimidation is a very powerful weapon. There’s a professor who admitted that he won’t be as critical of Muslims as he is of other groups because he’s physically afraid for his family. Not that he’s been directly threatened; he doesn’t have to be. You see these people; they love violence. You have Jews being stabbed in the street in Jerusalem and Students for Justice in Palestine is cheering the terrorists on.
Some of the entries on your terror-friendly university list are not surprising. For example, you have three universities from California, which is the home of many liberals.
They’re not liberal! I’m a liberal. I believe in two sides to a question. They’re not liberals. They’re leftists, they’re totalitarian. When I go to a campus, I have to face down demonstrators inside the lecture halls trying to shout me down and shut me up. I’m a liberal. I believe in liberty. These people don’t. They want to suppress any opposition to their genocidal agendas.
How did the University of New Mexico get on your list? New Mexico doesn’t seem a likely place for radical Muslim activism.
The liberal arts faculties of all these universities are communists, and I say that advisedly – my parents were communists. I know what a communist is. They believe in suppressing opposition. That’s why 90 percent of professors on liberal arts faculties are on the left. How is that possible in a country which is pretty evenly divided? It’s because they’re totalitarian. They don’t want a conservative voice on campus.
Columbia and Harvard are also on your list. How do you explain students at such high-IQ universities believing such blatant lies about the Jewish state?
Because it’s a religion. There are lots of smart members of the Muslim Brotherhood too. Smarts have nothing to do with being moral or politically astute. You can be brilliant and be a Nazi.
You mentioned that your parents were communists. How did you go from being the son of communists to where you are today?
I wrote a book called Radical Son, which described it all, but it came down to a murder. The Black Panther Party murdered a friend of mine and the left defended the murderers. And then I saw how we succeeded – “we,” meaning the left since I was a leader of the New Left – in getting America to withdraw from Vietnam, and then the communists, who are the left’s friends, slaughtered two and half million Cambodians and Vietnamese with no protests. That’s how I got off the boat.
What do you want readers to do with the information you provide in this report?
Well, I wish more people had the courage to stand up and start calling things by their right names. I think it was Confucius who said that in order to start rectifying the world you have to call things by their right names. These groups are mouthpieces for terrorists on our campuses, and they’re being supported by the universities.
I want people to have the courage to confront these universities, confront their board of trustees, confront the heads of alumni organizations. America is a free country. As I said, I’m a true liberal and I believe that people have the right to say even hateful things. But the university has no obligation to provide offices for these groups or to provide funding out of student funds for their genocidal attacks on Jews. No university would do that if it were blacks, Hispanics, or Muslims who were the targets.
