Arabophobes, Islamophobes Hi-Jack MLK Services
(Not Just at Harvard but throughout the USA)
Harvard could hardly have invited a more inappropriate speaker for the University-wide celebration of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Liz Walker works with Gloria White-Hammond. Both have long been involved with Charles Jacobs, the David Project, and the American Anti-Slavery Group, which have all been involved in the attempt to turn Sudan into a second Iraq. All of these individuals and groups have worked long and hard to poison human rights discourse while Walker and White-Hammond have explicitly refused to criticize any aspect of the Zionist treatment of the native population of Palestine.
With regard to anti-Arab and anti-Muslim incitement, Walker and White-Hammond are foremost in the Boston African American community, and for their service on behalf of racist Israel advocacy groups they have been blessed by the organized Jewish Community. Their financial backers are to the first approximation people that fund the David Project. Gloria White-Hammond has worked closely with Eric Cohen, who is a close Neocon associate of William Kristol.
There is an American saying that "a person can't lie down with dogs without getting up with fleas." Walker and White-Hammond have long been in bed with the most bigoted anti-Muslim and anti-Arab segment of organized Jewish community.
Please take a look at:
The pattern of co-opting African American individuals and organizations to serve the most Zionist goals is pervasive throughout the USA. In many cases, the organized Jewish community tries to inject Abraham Joshua Heschel as the archetypal Jewish leader, who worked for civil rights for Black Americans.
Of course, Heschel did not care at about Palestinian human rights and had no problem with the murder of Arab Palestine by Eastern European invaders and interlopers. (See his book entitled Israel: An Echo of Eternity.)
In general American Jewish support for African American civil rights seems to have been mostly opportunistic except in the case of those activists, who took inspiration from Eastern European radical socialist and communist models. As far as I can tell, the whole involvement with radical political movements has been mostly written out of official histories of American Jews.

Hey guys,
For those around campus, I'd HIGHLY recommend you stop by the MLK service tomorrow evening. Enjoy intercession! :)
Best,
