Give This Woman More Venues
This on-campus speech by a Lebanese Christian is notable for three reasons. First, the speaker expresses an extremely unusual public view of Israel for an Arab. Second, the speaker dares to use the language of morality – good, evil, barbarism – which much of the academic elite considers beneath contempt and the mark of a weak thinker. Third, the speech was delivered at Duke University, which has been guilty in the recent past of shameless pandering to Palestinian racist hate speech. I’m an alumna of Duke myself, and I was disgusted at the time by my (much-loved) alma mater’s craven cowering behind the morally bankrupt shield of “correctness”. I’m relieved that Duke is now giving voice to people like Brigitte Gabriel and hope to see more of the same on other US campuses. (Via Israpundit.)
