Juan Cole sharin' Karin

Remember Karin Friedemann, utterer of the immortal words "Every Jewish family in America that has any property in the Holy Land needs to be prosecuted as part of an organized criminal network"? Guess who just linked approvingly to one of her articles!

Click to enlarge image. Here is an excerpt (not the passage Juan chose) from the article he likes so much:

[Charles] Jacobs' pro-Israel advocacy organization spearheaded the campaign to vilify the Islamic Republic of Sudan, and provided huge quantities of lurid, both popular and pseudo-academic material, in which Sudan is described as a "terrorist, genocidal" state engaged in a "holy war." Charles Jacobs' carefully designed "PR puff pieces" about "slavery" in Sudan have managed to secure national media coverage.

While pro-Palestine activists have long struggled to halt public funding of Israel, the dishonest "Save Darfur!" campaign, put together by DP friends and trainees, is the quickest divestment success in history. Sudan divestment resolutions have become law in Iowa and are in the process of approval in 12 states. The JCRC coordinating with the David Project has further poisoned human rights discourse with this effort to turn Arab and African Americans against each other.
