At the risk of repeating the others.....
.....I would be interested if you could back up your original assertions with something like evidence. The onus is on the originator to provide the evidence if called on it. You made the original assertion so explain how you can justify that assertion.
You claim only to be talking about a small group of "professors" - who are they? What did they say? Can you provide specific in context examples to back your assertions? If its only a small group, why do you say
"When will the morality of the highly educated reach the Jews and condemn their murder ? (sic)
I note that you say THE highly educated, not SOME OF THE or A SMALL MINORITY OF. By implication you are talking about ALL of them. Its up to you to provide the evidence for your sweeping statement, something that you haven't even tried to do so far. Since I know that your statement isn't true, I'm interested to hear what evidence you base your assertion on. Since the only way to prove that you are correct in making the above statement is to define what highly educated professor means, then give us the views of ALL people who fit into this category, I think you may have a problem.
Bear in mind that even a single "highly educated professor" who is sympathetic to the Israeli Government policy disproves your statement.

Tenuous links?
Willowtree, you seem to be arguing that some highly educated people have criticised Israel and so that makes them Nazis because Nazis were highly educated and didn't like Jews. I'm sorry, but the same can be said for Communists, Christians, atheists. Does that mean that the highly educated college professors who criticised Israel can be called Nazi Communist Christian atheists?
I'm sure that we could find some totally uneducated people of middle-eastern origin who criticise Israel. Does that mean that the highly educated college professors are also uneducated people of middle-eastern origin? Do you see what I'm saying? You're falling into the trap of "All Alsatians are dogs therefore all dogs are Alsatians". I think I know what you're trying to say, but you could be a bit clearer?
Thank you for not accusing me of deliberate misrepresentation, but why the need to point out that you weren't doing that? Hmmmm!
