University of Minnesota rescinded offer for Segal to head Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
Two of the center’s board members resigned to protest his hiring.
Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas launched campaign to block professor Segal .
Professor Segal: I’m targeted here specifically as an Israeli American Jew, and I'm targeted because of my identity as a Jew who refuses the narrowing down of Jewish identity to Zionism and to support of Israel .
He says the idea that the JCRC of Minnesota and the Dakotas in its claim to speak for all Jews in the Twin Cities is absolutely false.
The JCRC is putting political pressure in a very dangerous way on a public university, professor says.
He says the hiring process was a legitimate hiring process; it was public.
Professor: JCRC claims falsely to represent all Jews ; it feeds into antisemitic ideas about Jewish power and influence.
Academic freedom, academic freedom, research and teaching, he says.
