THEY'RE DIPLOMA MILLS, NOT EDUCATIONAL:

The American Public’s Incredibly Strong Support for Israel (Barry Rubin, 12/05/09)

According to the latest Pew poll, 51 percent of the American public say they sympathize more with the Israelis, while just 12% say they sympathize more with the Palestinians. (14 percent say neither; 19 percent have no opinion). That’s very impressive, right?

That means that two-thirds of Americans who have an opinion sympathize more with Israel.

What about all the academics who hate Israel, all the anti-Israel propaganda, the supposed sympathy for Palestinians as victims and underdogs? No apparent effect.

Contra the Right, bias in Academia has no effect on anything.
