Great news: Zionist thugs' bid to deny tenure to Palestinian-American Joseph Massad fails

[scooby]

This was quite a battle, so we should take heart that the bad guys are lost this one:

I have a message to all the Zionist hoodlums out there: for all of you who campaigned and harassed and intimidated and who treated academic life like an aspect of Zionist thuggery, Joseph Massad has received tenure. He called me yesterday from Cairo to break the great news to me and I could not wait to report it to his enemies and mine. It is with great pleasure and gratification that I break the news to all of you. No matter what dirty tricks you (i.e. Zionist hoodlums) have resorted to, and no matter what sleazy methods you have employed and no matter what sinister propaganda you have resorted to, dear Joseph Massad deservedly received his tenure. I am looking forward to Joseph's contribution to Middle East studies at Columbia and elsewhere. And as `Abdun-Nasser told the colonial power back in 1956, I say: if you don't like this news please feel free to go and drink from the Mediterrenean sea.

The usual suspects at media outlets and think tanks like the ADL, The David Project, Daniel Pipes's Campus Watch, CAMERA, etc., launched their standard multi-pronged attack to sink Massad. More here:

Martin Kramer, another think-tanker believed to have been extremely tight with GWB, checked in, too:
