Joseph Massad: The freedom of Western universities is an illusion that the Arabs believed. In the first part of Massad’s interview with Al Jazeera Net, he showed how the Israeli settlement occupation is linked to the Western colonial movement.
In this second and final part of the dialogue, the academic and writer explains the structure of violence in Israel and its lack of connection to a specific party. He explains how Western universities have begun to tighten the noose on academics who support the Palestinian cause.
