A few days ago I spotted a reference to an upcoming talk by Martin Peretz sponsored by Bard College on the Mondoweiss blog. It is titled “The Demonization of Israel: Its History and Politics” and will be held on September 16th at 6:15 at the school’s Globalization and International Affairs offices at 36 West 44th St. The talk is part of The James Clarke Chace Memorial Speaker Series. Chase was a professor at Bard who died in 2004 and could best be described as an inside-the-beltway master of realpolitik, just the sort of person who would thrive at Bard College.
Our friends at Mondoweiss were resourceful enough to dig up a post from Peretz’s blog at The New Republic Magazine (TNR) bought with his wife’s money (she was an heiress to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune) back in 1975. It is as toxic as his usual offerings and cut from the same cloth as the NY Post, Fox News or the WSJ editorial page. full: http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2010/09/11/bard-college-martin-peretz-and-the-hasbara-counter-offensive/ _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
