How can that possibly be one might ask? Of course at Brown, as at many universities around the country, Middle East Studies has long been a platform for Palestinian propaganda. Many Brown students likely say they believe the lie that Israel is an apartheid state simply to avoid being shunned, or worse, by their woke classmates, professors and administrators. In the Spring of 2019, 28% of the Brown student body signed a sophomoric petition - incredibly enough, also signed by 100 or so faculty - calling for the imposition of economic sanctions on Israel. But Brown enabling Hamas? Hamas whose charter proclaims that “the struggle against the Jews is extremely wide-ranging and grave”, that “vows… and strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine”, and “that there is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad”? Hamas - that in an official statement on August 16 congratulated the Taliban “on the demise of the American occupation [in Afghanistan]…..proves that the resistance of the peoples, foremost of which is our struggling Palestinian people, will achieve victory.” What possible connection could exist between Middle East Studies at Brown and Hamas terrorists? But there is a connection - the connection is Birzeit University whose president is Brown Middle East Studies Professor Beshara Doumani.
