"The David Project wants Middle East historians to reproduce faithfully in the classroom the Zionist master narrative as the "true" version of history. We aren't going to do that, and nobody can make us do it, and if anyone did make us do it, it would be destructive of academic, analytical understandings of history. Next the Serbs will be demanding that we explain why the Bosnians had to be suppressed, and the Russians will object to any attempt to understand the roots of Chechen terrorism, and the Chinese will object to our teaching about Taiwan.
*The American Nazi Party will maintain that the Third Reich is presented unsympathetically in university history classes, etc. etc. *Ethnic nationalisms if allowed to dictate the teaching of history would destroy the entire discipline.


"Go, Nazis, Go!"

Mr. Cole, a Mexican, is upset that he and his leftist academic friends are being criticized. To him that is "McCarthyism" and his critics are no different than "Nazis".
