US university halts move to UAE because of Israel policy

From Gulfnews: US university halts move to UAE because of Israel policy.

Dubai: Emirati academicians and intellectuals have said they would rather do without a US university in Dubai than allow entry to Israeli citizens after the university put on hold plans to set up a campus here.

The University of Connecticut confirmed to Gulf News that it has halted plans to open a campus in Dubai following concerns raised by pro-Israel politicians and interest groups who oppose the UAE's policy of not permitting entry to Israelis.

"We have put this project on the backburner. We are not actively working on it now," said Peter Nichols, provost of the university.

The article goes on to quote Mr. Nichols as saying that he remains "very interested' in the project and that the situation was "not impossible to resolve". Emirati intelligentsia are claiming anti-Arab racism. No Israelis were available for comment because Israeli citizens are not permitted to enter the UAE.

Surprise! The BBC goes trolling for racism...

this time among the African diaspora in France.
Have Your Say. Who will Africans in France back?

And in other race baiting news... Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to discuss diaper haired garden instruments at Rutgers. (Get it?)

Hey! What about this old chestnut from back in the day: Your soul can't be happy, if your Afro ain't nappy?

And speaking of mutton dressed like lamb, Joy Behar co-hostess of 'La View' claims the Duke Lacrosse players are part of the 'Little White Boys Club in effect' at Duke.

Sorry, it's hard for me to believe that the Rutgers girls were all that upset being called nappy headed hos after listening to my niece's hip hop for the last couple of days. Scarred for life. Please. Can you say hip-hop hypocrites? Okay girls, let's see those Ipods.

I just watched Malik Shabazz call Michelle Malkin "a political prostitute" on O'Reilly. She was magnificent in response. Go Michelle!
