The Euston Manifesto is one of the most historically and politically realistic documents to come from the Left in, well, ever really.  For decades public intellectuals like Chomsky and Hobsbawn sided with failed ideologies and many a despot while the people with most to lose - true liberals - said little.  The Euston signers (or at least those who continue to stand by its content) applied a fairness to political ideology seldom seen among contemporary intellectuals.  I hope their commitment to the rule of reason and to consistency gets more adherents in the academic world, where it is most needed.  I am glad that all of you at Jewcy maintain a commitment to the free exchange of ideas, because if intellectuals refuse to stand with this, what's left, really?
