Nation article on Kenneth Roth

[edit]

Good story in The Nation about how the Carr Center offered, then retracted a fellowship to Kenneth Roth, because of what Dean Douglas Elmendorf called his "anti-Israel bias." Massing describes criticism of and pressure against Roth by Jewish groups such as the ADL, AJC, and NGO Monitor, including financial contributors to the Harvard center. Massing also described the involvement of CIA and other national security organizations at the Belfer center, and their promotion of US policies, such as how Michael Ignatieff, then director of the Carr Center, defended the US invasion of Iraq.
