You know, I almost forgot. Ukraine is the nation that just stated in a poll that one out of three Ukrainians do not want to have Jews as citizens of their country.

Gee, wonder why Duke likes Ukraine?

Oh, and by the way, a Ph.D. does not an academic make. Nor does teaching a course in Jew-hatred, whoops, “international relations.”

Scholarship is often a requirement to be known as an academic. Full-time teaching and publishing in scholarly journals are two other signs of knowing who is an academic, and who was granted a Ph.D at Hate Jew U.

Shyeah, right.

In September 2005, Duke received a Ph.D. title in History from the Ukrainian Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (MAUP). His doctoral thesis was titled "Zionism as a Form of Ethnic Supremacism".[35] MAUP is a large university, with over 50,000 students, which is accredited by Ukraine's Ministry of Education, and is where Duke had previously received an honorary doctorate. It is regarded by its critics as the main source of anti-Semitic activity and publishing in Ukraine,[36] and its "anti-Semitic actions" were "strongly condemned" by Foreign Minister of Ukraine Borys Tarasyuk and various Jewish interest and anti-racist organizations.[37] [38] [39] [40] Duke has been allowed to teach an international relations and a history course at MAUP.[41]

Wow, that's some amazing academic credit. Why, you can just see the reams and reams and reams of published works coming out of that asshole's head. David Duke is also a convicted felon.

My favorite part of the report is where Reuters refers to David Duke as “an American academic.” In its own small way this is another proof of Reuters’s inherent bias against Israel and Jews–even Duke doesn’t claim to be an academic.

I like the analogy that Charles Johnson made earlier – Neturei Karta are to Jewish rabbis what Fred Phelps’ “Baptists” are to Baptists. The lunacy, as Meryl points out, is that the media identifies the Israel-hating NK as just rabbis, whereas everyone knows that Phelps is super fringe (and an a-hole).
