Its a bad step to ban any academic for their race. I am dismayed if it's true that academics are being black banned because their Jewish.

However, I can support the "black banning" of any academic who propagates the idea that there is a place for torture, as Dershowitz does. This is a very good reason why he should be treated as a bad smell by any institute of learning, not because he's Jewish, but because he is writing papers which can be used as justification by government security agencies to use coercion and pain as methods of extracting information.

We have a (non-Jewish)professor in a university here in Australia who has written a treatise suggesting the same thing. After an outcry, he has been removed from the refugee tribunal here - and good riddance.
