(JNS) A book accusing Israel of maiming Palestinians to assert control over them won an accolade from the National Women’s Studies Association.

“The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability,” authored by controversial Rutgers University professor Jasbir Puar, was a winner of the association’s 2018 Alison Piepmeier Book Prize, awarded for scholarship concentrating on feminist disability issues.

The school’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies congratulated the professor.

Puar has an extensive history with anti-Israel activity, according to Canary Mission, an organization that documents people and groups that promote hatred of the United States, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses.
