In an attempt to combat the despicable scourge of racism in this country, a renowned attorney who has made a career out of fighting Nazis and their reprehensible hatred has asked officials to prevent one of Harvard’s newest professors from being admitted into the United States.
In a recent letter to Attorney General Bill Barr, Neal Sher cited Saeb Erekat’s affiliation with Palestinian Liberation Organization, a confirmed terror group whose objective it is to destroy Israel and murder as many Jews as possible.
Erekat is currently the chief negotiator for the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
Sher, the former head of the federal Nazi-hunting Office of Special Investigations, claims that he has enough evidence to back up his claim that Saeb had a role in the establishment of Palestinian Liberation Organization’s $400 million a year, “Martyr’s fund,” that provides financial assistance to the surviving family members of suicide bombers killed during their terrorism attacks, according to honestreporting.com.
Recently appointed as a fellow for Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs for the current academic year, Erekat is set to arrive for his on-site classes in the upcoming spring semester, according to the NY Post.
And while Sher recognizes that under the 1st Amendment, Harvard has the right to hire whoever they want, he strongly opposites Erekat’s appointment, fearing that Erekat’s presence on campus would only incite more terror and inflame more hatred.
This nation, Sher said, has been working endlessly to combat racism, so why encourage more hate and divisiveness, he said, according to the NY Post.
Erekat was recently named a Fellow and is scheduled to arrive for in-person classes in the spring semester, according to Sher. The prestigious appointment came shortly after the Palestinian Authority donated nearly $2 million to Harvard between 2017 and 2019.
Sher currently handles the case for the families of victims of the Fort Hood massacre, this country’s deadliest mass shooting on any army base in the U.S.
Thirteen folks were killed during that 2009 Fort Hood massacre, and thirteen others were badly injured. The suspect, Nidal Hassan, a former psychiatrist, had allegedly gotten in contact with Islamic extremist, and in 2013, admitted to the shootings.
From 1983 to 1994, Sher headed the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), the Justice Department’s Nazi prosecution unit, where he oversaw the denaturalization and deportation of dozens of onetime Nazi war criminals. His investigation of the Nazi past of former United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim resulted in Sher’s submission of a report to the United States Attorney General.
