I had already received information regarding the tenured chief honcho about this but was assured that there would be others I could work with when dissertation time came around. Like a fool, I believed...

I never received a dissertation advisor--the death sentence for an academic career at the university level. Readers may access my Mullah Morality:Tales Of Binx and Jahandir; Chutzpah--Arab Style; A La Alaa; and some other articles in my archives to gain further insights about this episode.

Despite this, the heavily Nobel Laureate-sponsored academic journal, the Fall 1981 Middle East Review, showcased my extensive article, "British Petroleum Politics, Arab Nationalism, and The Kurdish Struggle For Independence." It got into many of the same problems I mentioned above. And this was rare, indeed, for "just" a doctoral student to be honored this way. That article can be found on recommended reading lists of universities all over the world today--including Paris' famed Institut d'Etudes Politiques (Science Po).

While professors like Carter Findley were/are not shy to pick apart any real or fudged "sin" of the Jewish State, the far more real and extensive atrocities committed by Arabs against Kurds, Berbers, Black Africans, Copts, Jews, Assyrians, and so forth were/are virtually or totally ignored. The only time Findley ever mentioned 30 million stateless Kurds, for example, was when he made a mockery of their dreams for independence in telling about his travels through southeastern Turkey. And all at the same time demanding a 22nd state for Arabs.

Throughout the '70s (and occasionally afterwards), I was invited to guest lecture at dozens of universities, colleges, and elsewhere, often to balance a lecture by an Arab or pro-Arab spokesperson, to debate them, and so forth. I appeared on television several times during this period as well.

On April 14, 2005, Fox News' star, Sean Hannity, selected my article from FrontPage Magazine as the focus of his ABC radio show. You can find it on my links. He found this on his own. I found out after the fact.

So, my objective is the same as it always has been.

There is no such thing as perfect justice among the realm of imperfect man. My articles aim to provide a balance and broader perspective in an age when vilifying Israel--the Jew of the Nations--has become all too common.

Thanks for visiting my website...
