Duncan Kennedy, tenured Harvard Law School Professor and Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence, and, of late, Israel basher-in-residence at the nation's most prestigious university, has called for BDS vis a vis Israel, not only at the governmental level but at the "civil society" level - in other words, let's boycott and demonize individual Jews like visiting academics, artists, etc.

He called for punishing Israeli Jews at a "Justice for Palestine" discussion of the two-state solution along with Professor Noah Feldman, Harvard's wunderkind who never saw an ulema he couldn't admire. Having a "debate" between Kennedy and Feldman is rather like having Joy Behar debate Whoopie Goldberg.

Quickly abandoning the Obama administration's advocacy of the two-state model, Kennedy shifted to the "binational" model, which, according to every sober or earth-residing analyst, signals the effective end of Israel and the Jewish state. Apparently that would sit quite agreeably with the good professor who professes to have nothing but good intentions for Israeli Jews. According to his expert prognostications, once the Zionist entity is eliminated, a democratic model of toleration - akin to Swiss confederation will follow. When asked to supply a template for such a Middle East utopia he could not cite one. Perhaps he was thinking of that bastion of democracy, Egypt and its Swiss-style treatment of Christian Copts, or Syria and its exemplary treatment of Nestorian Christians, or Iraq, that utopia in which Sunni and Shia get along famously, or perhaps Iran and its model of toleration for its Ba'hai citizens or its homosexuals. Perhaps he was thinking of Lebanon, the Iranian-Hezbollah client state. No matter, we'll worry about that later. For now, let's hurt those demonic Israeli Jews in favor of the sainted Palestinian Arabs.

When asked why 100% of his vitriol was aimed at Jews and ignored Arab incitement that has gone on unabated since and before the Oslo fiasco, he replied that "Palestinian incitement was an insignificant issue."

And this person is teaching young minds the tenets of "universal justice".
