The Harvard Professor was an adviser to the Giuliani presidential campaign. He is listed as an associate of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the influential think tank in Washington of the American "Israel" Public Affairs Committee.

He is associated with Daniel Pipe's 'Middle East Forum,' a neo-McCarthyite organization dedicated to harassing American academics who do not "toe the political line of "Israel's" ruling Likud Party".

Juan Cole, the president of the Global American Institute, responded to Kramer by saying, "Rightwing Zionism is all about erasing the Palestinians from history. And now Kramer wants to make it about erasing future Palestinian children!"

Cole challenged Kramer's debate. "Population growth in and of itself explains nothing, and certainly not terrorism. Between 1800 and 1900, Great Britain's population tripled, whereas France underwent a demographic transition and grew very slowly," Cole argued.

"If population growth rates were the independent variable in predicting a turn to terrorism, moreover, the fast-growing ultra-Orthodox or Haredi Jewish population of "Israel" would be a concern," Cole added.

Cole lashed at Cramer's racist remarks, describing them as a call for genocide. "His arguments are a double-edged sword that even more unsavory persons than he will gleefully wield against groups other than Arabs."
