A Jewish group has called on the University of Sussex to strip a professor of his emeritus status after he claimed Israelis were behind the 11 September attacks.
Professor Kees van der Pijl, who was formerly head of the
university’s international relations department, tweeted to say: “Not
Saudis, Israelis blew up Twin Towers with help from Zionists in US
govt”.The professor, who retired in 2012 and now lives in Amsterdam,
included a link to an article titled “9-11/Israel did it” by the
conspiracy theory website WikiSpooks.“We are concerned by the conspiracy theories that have been tweeted
by [Professor van der Pijl],” the Sussex Jewish Representative Council
said on Twitter.“We ask that Sussex University investigate immediately
and consider removing his ‘emeritas’ status [sic]. This type of
hatemongering has no place in society, least of all in academia.”
