Jenna Delich, a member of the British University and College Union that voted to reintroduce a boycott of Israeli academics has posted a link on the union's website to an anti-Semitic article posted on the site of US neo-Nazi leader David Duke, the 'Jerusalem Post' reports. Delich's message was in support of a colleague who backs the boycott call. It reads: "John, in support to your link this may be a long but also an interesting reading: www.davidduke.com/general/humanitarian-disaster_595.html. No comment necessary. The facts are speaking for themselves, Jenna."
The article, written in June 2006 by the conspiracy theorist Joe Quinn and entitled "Racism, not Defense, at the Heart of Israeli Politics," is an attack on the "Israeli oligarchs" and was circulated to hundreds of the union's active members. Quinn writes: "Just what level of power do Israeli interests wield in the halls of power in the US that any investigation into Israeli spying activities on US soil against US intelligence agencies can be so completely quashed? Would this constitute a level of power and control that would allow those interests to carry off a terrorist attack like 9/11 and have it blamed on 'Arab terrorists?'"
Quinn links to the website of the convicted Holocaust-denier David Irving saying: "On the morning of 9/11 and just as the WTC towers were crumbling, the five Israelis were caught doing the 'happy dance' as they videotaped the Twin Towers fall." The piece closes with the claim: "Either someone does something about these sick psychopaths, or they, and their kind in Washington and around the world, will destroy us all."
