CUNY’s Anti-Jewish Bigot

Frontpage reports on John "Tito" Gerassi who is a:
longtime professor of Political Science at CUNY’s Queens College. At the beginning of this fall semester, Gerassi used an introductory course he teaches, and which is required for CUNY students, to deliver a fanatical rant against Israel. As Joshua Rubin reported in the Queens College student newspaper, the Knight News, "within minutes of the first lecture," Gerassi characterized Palestinian suicide bombers as "freedom fighters," called for the annihilation of Israel ("I wish Israel would just stop being Israel altogether"), and gloated that Hezbollah will destroy Israel "within 40 years." And he wasn’t done yet. As Rubin reported:

Once he finished his diatribe about Israel, [Gerassi] claimed that we are misinformed about what is occurring in the Middle East as a result of a Jewish conspiracy to control the media. In his words, as he mumbled, "Too many Jews are in the editors' meetings."
It appears the list of what tenured radicals don't like grows all the time.No word yet on what Professor Gerassi wants to do with the Jews.
