Schools' Iran $$ pipeline

Anti-Israel, pro-Iran university professors are being funded by a 
shadowy multimillion-dollar Islamic charity based in Manhattan that the 
feds charge is an illegal front for the repressive Iranian regime.
The deep-pocketed Alavi Foundation has aggressively given away hundreds 
of thousands of dollars to Columbia University and Rutgers University 
for Middle Eastern and Persian studies programs that employ professors 
sympathetic to the Iranian dictatorship.
"We found evidence that the government of Iran really controlled 
everything about the foundation," said Adam Kaufmann, investigations 
chief at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
Federal law-enforcement authorities are in the midst of seizing up to 
$650 million in assets from the Alavi Foundation, which they charge 
funnels money to Iran-supported Islamic schools in the United States and 
to a syndicate of Iranian spies based in Europe.
In one of the biggest handouts, the controversial charity donated 
$100,000 to Columbia University after the Ivy League school agreed to 
host Iranian leader and Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according 
to the foundation's 2007 tax filings obtained by The Post.
Rutgers professor Hooshang Amirahmadi, former head of the school's 
Center for Middle Eastern Studies and president of the American-Iranian 
Council, a nonprofit advocacy group, unabashedly has touted Hezbollah 
and Hamas as legitimate organizations and not terrorists.
Between 2005 and 2007, the Alavi Foundation donated $351,600 to the 
Rutgers Persian language program, a spokesman for the school 
acknowledged. The university would not comment further.
Alavi's Web site says its mission is the "promotion of Islamic culture 
and Persian language."
"This is all about Iran laundering their policies through academe," said 
Michael Rubin, an Iran expert at the American Enterprise Institute think 
tank. "And the ivory tower is prostituting itself for money."
But Amirahmadi disagreed. "Grants from Alavi are made to the 
universities, not to the professors," he told The Post.
Columbia spokesman Robert Hornsby said Alavi's donations rarely topped 
more than a few thousand dollars and that the $100,000 donation was its 
largest single gift. Hornsby added that the school was surprised the 
foundation had direct ties to the Iranian government.
The Alavi foundation declined comment.

UNIVERSITIES FOR SALE
The Alavi Foundation — a charity that law-enforcement officials believe 
is a front for the Iranian government — has given hundreds of thousands 
of dollars to fund professorships at Columbia and Rutgers universities. 
These professors have been apologists for the Iranian government:
Gary Sick, professor, School of International and Public Affairs, 
Columbia: He [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] made it very clear that, whether he 
is talking about ‘wiping Israel off the map,’ or ‘erased from the pages 
of time,’ or whatever the quote is, what he means is that there should 
be a free referendum among the peoples of the Palestine that existed to 
the partition in 1948 to vote about the kind of a government they should 
have. He is confident that, in a free vote, Israel and Israelis would 
lose that vote and it would turn out to be something else: a unitary 
state, probably run by the Palestinians.
Hooshang Amirahmadi, director, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, 
Rutgers: Unfortunately, a large part of the problems between Iran and 
the US are not based in reality, but are based on myths. The problem of 
terrorism is a true myth. Iran has not been involved in any terrorist 
organization. Neither Hezbollah nor Hamas are terrorist organizations . 
. . The Iranian president’s problem is with Israel, not with America.
Hamid Dabashi, professor of Iranian studies and comparative literature, 
Columbia: That monstrosity that [director Zack] Snyder pictures [in his 
film “300”] marching towards Thermopylae is the American empire — and 
that band of brothers that stood up to that monstrosity are those 
resisting this empire: They are the Iraqi resistance, the Palestinians, 
Hezbollah.

 Ma perché ti scandalizza l'attività di lobbing? 
Mi scandalizzerebbe se ti pagassero per fare il pirla.
 > Non fanno lo stesso  AIPAC & C?
Pero' tu fermi la tua attenzione esclusivamente sulla AIPAC. Come mai? 
Parliamone.

 Non mi paga nessuno
Su questo ti crediamo, tranquillo.
Chi vorrebbe pagare un notorio pirla?

il tuo valore dovrebbe deciderlo chi ti paga. E hai gia' detto che non 
guadagni nulla.
