- Outrageous use of Academic Paper for anti-Semitic propaganda.
- =============================================================
-
- I was astonished to realize that the IEEE COMPUTER , gives
- host to an inglorious wild anti-Semitic provocation, under the
- cover of so called academic paper.
- In the IEEE Computer of July 1992 , Page 74 ,given as " a
- sample of typewritten Arabic ", there is a paragraph in Arabic
- , describing the fall of the Moslem ruler of Turkey, and the
- raise of the "western agent " Kamal Attaturk in 1922, as a "
- Jewish Conspiracy ". The exact content of the paragraph is
- given hereby. The translation has been done by my colleague
- Ron J. Goldring:
-
- "... The entire region, and the JEWISH delegation was
- expelled disgracefully. And he said: Palestine is the
- blood of six hundred million moslems.
- And since that time, the enemies of Islam laboured on
- removing that obstacle from their way. And their
- collusion was successful: They removed him from power,
- and toppled the "knifa", and brought the western agent
- Attaturk to power."

- I have to stress that such use of Academic Paper is unheard-
- of. I suggest that every one who wants to express his view in
- this matter will mail to IEEE Computers magazine < Editor-in-
