67. Looked all over
But could not find the actual statement of concern. Where is his four page document? It is hard to verify the reasons WHY these academics chose to not sign on without reading the actual document.

Could it be that these people would wonder if there could possibly be an alternative intent given that the good professor is an economics professor....why would he suddenly be gravely concerned with the rights of women, gays and lesbians in the middle east.....what purpose was given of the petition? This seems like a short-sighted study that is filled with flaws and was only initiated to confirm Dr. Gottheil's own viewpoint. This setup strongly hints of confirmation bias.
