Interesting that they claim that we wish to control what is said about Israel, in islamic countries you have no freedom of speech.
Reader comment on item: Is Campus Watch Part of a Conspiracy? [On Mearsheimer-Walt and "The Israeli Lobby"]
Submitted by Phil Greend (Canada), Mar 19, 2010 at 21:44
If someone were in any islamic country and wanted to speak honestly about Israel, they would be forbidden.
In the same vein if someone wanted to say something honestly negative about islam, they would be forbidden.
You and others are trying to keep debate and free speech alive, especially on campus.
