Oh my. Hizballah's Professor, Marcy Newman, who previously merited a write-up by our own Emmet Trueman (see: Marcy Newman Hates the United States, Israel, Jews and...), certainly isn't afraid to let it all hang out.
Newman's blog has an Orwellian list of links right at the top entitled "Academic Freedom," carrying shortcuts to such bastions of academic freedom as the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel and to Mona Baker, who infamously fired two Israelis from the staff of her academic journal. The top post on her blog right now? Should we consider a boycott of Israeli academic institutions? Yes. That only follows since "...the racist, colonialist state needs to be dissolved."
Because, you know, dissolving racist, colonialist states is serious business.

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

The Lord all of all hosts laughs mockingly at those who would "try" to destroy his chosen people.
He knows as well as they do that the children of ishmael have no portion in this world or the next.

I don't understand why you're writing about here at all. She is just an obscure young tenure-track prof at an obscure university in an obscure place. Why bother to pay her all this attention?
Not doing anything with this picture would be tantamount to malpractice. Besides, treasonous little ditses like this have a habit of showing up at more prestigious places...at least now it won't be out of nowhere.
She's an anti-Semite, plain and simple. And I agree with Solomon. Cockroaches can't be addressed until they are exposed to the light. And she is a cockroach of the highest order.......

Maybe she can apply for Ward Churchill's job. What a crackpot.
Self-parody is rampant in academe, Marcy Newman is merely one of the more blatant and demonstrative forms of such self-parody. I agree with Sol, it would represent malpractice to forego taking note of this; Newman here merely personifies the larger problem better than most, she is merely the most willing among that academic tribe in being willing to reify, in cartoonish form, the vacuous and willfully stupid behavior rampant in too many quarters of academe.
Captain Underpants indeed, I wouldn't expect to find such behavior among grade-school teachers, but among that tribe in academe it does not surprise in the least.
She looks about 16. An immature and callow 16. I bet she tries to be friends with her students.
