1. Another good piece by Giulio Meotti
Maurice ,   Los Angeles, USA   (03.28.12)
The source of these funding is not widely known. Shame on these institutions for taking blood money.
2. Meotti is part of the problem
John   (03.28.12)
When not attacking Muslims, Meotti is attacking Christians. The only hope for everybody, including Jews, is if believing Muslims can be converted to Christianity. But Meotti spends half his time driving a wedge between Jews and Christians by bringing up events which happened in the distant past and grossly exaggerating negative Christian views about Jews. Please google Dr Daniel Shayesteh or ''former revolutionary guard commander converts to christianity'' for YouTube videos showing how a radical Muslims life can be totally transformed by Christianity.
3. absolutely correct
John sombrero ,   usa   (03.28.12)
First a grammer mistake that should be Arab Foreign Goverment instead of federally. Untll the Israel goverment forces the US and Europe to stob the foreign funding of Universities this will be the major problem in anti semitism and anti Israel feeling in the world remember these students studying at these centers are going to be our future leaders that's why it must be stopped now.
4. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.28.12)
Distant past? No such thing. As George Santayana so wisely pointed out, "those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." But if you are that convinced that conversion to Christianity is the solution to radical and fundamentalist Islam, why not take a quick trip to Saudi Arabia and practice what you preach? I hope you won't mind being beheaded.
5. You know what I would like to see?
Devorah   (03.28.12)
I would like to see a comprehensive database of all the antisemitic centers for ME studies, the NGO's and the universities on the take from Israel's enemies, and I would like to see specific names and $$$ involved. I would like this database to include histories and to be up to date at all times because it would have the potential of being a powerful tool for Israel.
6. #2
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.28.12)
if western universities are supporting Assad, The Saud house and all antisemites, it is their responsablity and fault of doing so, and they deserve to be attacked, in the most energetic way.
7. #2 blaming the messenger
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.28.12)
Christians are just as bad as Muslims. Distant past? Really? How about the Spanish Inquisition end in 1992! Is that a distant past? No our best hope is that Muslims will continue to murder each other in greater numbers than before.
8. Foreign funding of Universities, NGO's are acting
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.28.12)
acting as if they are employees of these foreign countries who actually pay their salaries in the form of grants. It's pretty scary when Saudi funds places like Catholic Georgetown. The Saudis are certainly not supporting Catholics or Christianity, and the purpose of this money is for re-writing history in the Saudi style.
9. Meotti is a terrific writer.... and lover of Israel
Wow ,   Israel   (03.28.12)
Every article of his I read is fantastic! Thank you!
10. Thanks a lot Meotti
David ,   Israel   (03.28.12)
This expose is so precious
11. Blood, money, Jews
yosef yankelev, Phd ,   USA   (03.28.12)
Right on, Meotti, This is an incisive, hard hitting and factual article, an integral part of uncovering the unprecedented world-wide, vile Antisemitic campaign. It dwarfs even the Nazi unspeakably horrifying words and intended deeds. "The one who pays the orchestra, orders the tune..."
12. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
daniel   (03.28.12)
saudi arabia rules by oil,black money,contaminating the world and usa rules by money,green money, lending money to underdeveloped countries to charge an interest rate endless,contaminating the soul
13. money
daniel   (03.28.12)
the world´s millonaries live in the usa and saudi arabia,with selfishness and ambition to rule the planet
14. You must seriously be kidding!
joe cienkowski ,   Granite City   (03.29.12)
Did you say "Christians are just as bad as Muslims"? Yeah, every day there's another suicide bomber in the US. Get real!
15. #3, Stop foreign funding
nadya ,   Garden Grove, CA.,US   (03.29.12)
Who is the Israeli government to force foreign funding to stop at U.S. and European Universities? I don't think your government has a say in the foreign funding of another countries universities. You may not like it and like to suggest it stop and why, but force, I don't think so, you're overstepping your boundaries.
16. Christians do attack Jews #14
jorge   (03.29.12)
They incite against Jews, Catholic, Presbyterians,Anglicans,Lutherans,not so the new Christian denominations. Unfortunately some leftist Jews, like the ones in Haaretz, in NYTIMES also spread lies and hatred against Jews and Israel, it is good to have someone like Meotti, writing things as they are
17. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.29.12)
The tens of millions of Jews massacred in Europe were murdered by Christians. Blood libel; during the Plague years; the Inquisition; pogroms; the Holocaust .... what would you say is qualitatively worse? Someone who blows himself up while killing innocents, or someone who takes very good care of himself while killing innocents? The former would be Moslem, but the latter, my dear, were all Christians. Get real. You may not like it, but it did happen. Europe has been largely a terrible place for Jews for a very long time. Denying it, or crafting a different spin, will not change the truth.
18. #7 rubbish
(03.29.12)
the Spanish Inquisition ended in 1992?? Don't be ridiculous. Google it . ''The body was under the direct control of the Spanish monarchy. It was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabella II, though it had ceased effective operation sometime earlier after a long decline.''
19. #14
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.29.12)
Your country just pays them money instead. Your country spends over $1 trillion a year to terrorist countries. But since America has no state religion you are now claim that you are 'Christian country', might want to check with the majority of Americans.
20. It says something when 17 academic centers
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (03.29.12)
support anti Israel "ideas." Maybe Israel is doing sumpin wrong? And this in the most pro Israel country in the world. The attempt to chill free debate on American campuses causes more damage to Israel than whatever is gained by the supressive effort. Saudi Arabia's influence on American campuses is dwarfed by the enormity of Jewish philanthropy and influence. Now we equate freedom of speech with"blood libels." Good luck on that one.
21. Something Wrong

22. The question is...
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (03.29.12)
...what will run out first, Saudi oil or spinelessness among Western leaders? When I look at the likes of Sarkozy, Merkel, Cameron etc, I feel pretty sure that Saudi oil will run out first.
23. $100billion, that is serious money
martin ,   uk   (03.29.12)
it is used to spread hate against israel and the jews and to convert the western losers to islam. the west has gone belly up. with obama in power, the usa is ne more secure than europe. frightening!
24. To #17:
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.29.12)
Sarah: Nazis' weren't Christians--period! Yes, many, so-called, Christians (in-name-only) killed God's chosen. That's my contention: these people were NOT true Christians! Our Lord, Jesus Christ told us to love everyone, even our enemies. You seem to be a smart woman...thus, do me a favor and read the New Testament; you'll be greatly enlightened (for the better) to the Truth. God bless you and yours. God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem! A Christian Zionist
25. I love topics like this!
TaylorT ,   Earth   (03.29.12)
Do you people realise how silly your incessant whining makes you look? Especially when directed at Christians/Americans. You really make my job easy. You must really have liked not having a state for 2000 years, because you're doing everything possible to again be stateless.
26. Time to settle the account
Ken ,   Australia   (03.29.12)
It's time to fight the inceing pograms, it's time Jews sell oil and gas, beat them at there own game and fight the Islamic push , but hard, Jews should find a way to defeat this hatread virus they are spreading.
27. i used to be very worried about this...
oferdesade ,   israel   (03.29.12)
but then i realized it isnt our problem. if these countries want to see their academic institutions go to the dogs (i mean that in the most non-racist manner), it will mean their downward slide in everything commercially related. if they prefer the arabs to the jews, saudi med&tech research to israeli, the laugh is on them, isnt it.
28. #2
zechariah=>8:23 ,   usa   (03.29.12)
Sorry, but you are wrong. The only hope for everybody is for non-Jews to become Noahides (righteous gentiles) and that includes Christians as well as Muslims
29. The RORI illness is a serious disease of antisemites
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (03.29.12)
Stereotipes rule the brains of antisemites. For example jews are merchant, financial people whose real god is money. On other hand jews are cowards who intend to avoid all militaries. So the antisemites are missing Rockefeller with Rickover. Two very similar names from the US.Rockefeller was a businessman who became a billionaire by swindles and exploitation of peoples.Admiral Rickover was a military hero, submarine commander and brilliant technical inventor. Then it must be clear that the first was a jew, and the latter a gentile. But it is not OK. Opposite, Rickover was jew, and Rockefeller gentile.Antisemites believes that not so they are suffering in the RORI mental illness. My own discovery !
30. #18 ask the Spanish
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.29.12)
In 1992 they celebrated the 500th year of the Inquisition and couldn't fathom why the Ambassador from Israel wouldn't attend the ceremony. Then they officially ended the exile of Jews after only 500 years. You are the ignorant person here.
