Pop quiz! Who said, regarding Israeli Jews, "the way they talk, walk, the way they greet each other... There is a vulgarity of character that is bone-deep and structural to the skeletal vertebrae of its culture." Was it: A) Adolph Hitler, B) Osama Bin Laden, or C) A Columbia University Professor from the Middle East department.
An outtake from Evan Coyne Maloney's excellent film Indoctrinate U provides the answer. Entertaining!
Bonus Question: How much money does Columbia try to extort from filmmakers to allow them on campus, and what are the conditions for being allowed to film there?
Update: Columbia's Hamid Dabashi (oops, was that a spoiler?) reviewing 300:
Leonidas and his men, of course, were a regular armed force meeting their adversaries on the field of battle in proper, "manly," fashion in defense of their homes. To compare them to the nihilistic, suicidal barbarity of today's terrorists, targeting children and shoppers in markets is perversion.
No comment. [via Campus Watch]

"Is it a hug?"
What I'm wondering is whether either Evan Coyne Maloney or anyone he interviews knows that there was no Israel during Hitler's lifetime? (I lacked the patience to watch to the end, though.)
I'm guessing the people who answered "Hitler" didn't think things through too completely.
