The letter signed by “Mehdi Mohammadzadeh” (MM) in the March/April 2013 issue of Anthropology News contains a number of ethnographic, political and ethical issues which I wish to address.

However, the fact remains, and it is documented and abundantly public, that the Minister of State for […]
Read More…Another allegation of “anti-Semitism”? Another tale of a “racist” professor? Another professor who “violates students’ rights”? Another university administration “investigates” a professor? One would have thought that, in a post-Churchill context, university administrations would have been more circumspect, less willing to rush in and stifle free speech, as if only certain opinions were authorized and […]

Read More…At Home in a Dysfunctional Family It was like listening to a family argument, my family, the style of argumentation, the hot flashes of temper, the rhetorical devices, the particular turns of phrase, even right down to the sounds of the voices themselves, that had my ears glued to the speakers for an hour last […]
Read More…How Israeli leaders and Rabbis have justified disproportionate violence and even outright holocaust against the Palestinians of Gaza, both before, during, and after Israel’s war against the people of Gaza from Dec. 27, 2008 to January 20, 2009.
