A Lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns
Don Corleone, in The Godfather
By Michael Travis
I must admit to spending several hours each day perusing the Israeli message
boards such as Walla and Ynet for entertainment and news from home. Most of the
articles and postings on the Israeli boards have to do with the "situation"
vis-a-vis the Palestinians, Lebanon, or Iran, but sometimes I discover articles
and discussions that are relevant to North American Jewry and the Canadian
public at large. An example of such discussions, and one that has not been
covered by the Canadian media, is the case of Professor Paul L. Williams who is
being sued by our own McMaster University for millions of dollars.
Paul L. Williams is an American author, journalist, researcher, and consultant.
He is also an adjunct professor of humanities.
He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Wilkes University, a
Master of Divinity degree from Drew University, and a Doctor of Philosophy
degree also from Drew.
He is the author of six books, the most recent one being Dunces of Doomsday: 10
Blunders That Gave Rise to Radical Islam, Terrorist Regimes, and the Threat of
an American Hiroshima.
Williams came to international prominence in early June, 2006, as a result of
his central involvement as an investigator the month prior into the suspicious
activities of members of the faculty of McMaster University in Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada. These investigations, paired with investigations being
conducted by Ontario police eventually led to the arrests of 17 terrorist
suspects by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Prior to this, he served
for seven years as a consultant to the FBI about terrorist and mafia criminal
organizations. Williams is also a committed Zionist who has written extensively
about the Israeli-Palestinian situation, a fact that has put him in the cross
hairs of Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups and their support networks in North
America.
