CUNY Sez "Kish Mir*" to Kushner

From FrontPage Magazine:

For the first time since 1961, the City University of New York (CUNY) has rejected a candidate for an honorary degree. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner’s nomination was tabled at a meeting of the board of trustees at member college John Jay on Monday, when board member Jeffrey Wiesenfeld objected. ”If his libelous statements against Israel were made by anyone outside the Jewish community, that person would be correctly labeled an anti-Semite…when you spew libel against our sole regional democratic ally for ‘crimes’ concocted by delegitimizers, you are an anti-Semite,” explained Wiesenfeld. ”I would no differently oppose a racist for an honorary degree who personifies himself by calumny against a people,” he added. Kushner, an unapologetic Israel-basher and notorious propagandist for the genocidal Palestinian campaign against the Jewish State, characterized the rejection as “McCarthyite nonsense.”

Resorting to the demonstrably inaccurate "McCarthyite" label: the last bastion of the smug lefty Zion-loather.

* "Kish mir in hinten/tuchiss" is Yiddish for "kiss my arse."
