Anti-Israel Propagandizing at Ben Gurion
University that Rivka Carmi just Cannot Find
Posted by
Steven Plaut
Tuesday, April 5, 2011
For years the President of Ben Gurion
University, Rivka Carmi, has insisted that she has no idea what the
critics of her "University of Treason" are talking about. BGU is a
great Zionist institution, she insists. Its only problem is Neve
Gordon, but aside from him and his daily anti-Semitic proclamations,
there is no problem whatsoever at BGU. Academic standards are being
maintained (stop laughing at her claim!). There are no other tenured
traitors at BGU. And there certainly is no in-classroom anti-Israel
indoctrination going on. Cabbagehead Carmi has never ever
ever heard of a single "conference" held at BGU consisting
of one-sided anti-Israel far-Leftist indoctrination and
propagandizing. Not a blessed one.
Now in reality, one-sided anti-Israel
far-leftist "conferences" take place at BGU all the time, and in
some cases students are coerced into attending.
Just consider the "conference" on "human
rights" that is about to be held at BGU this coming week on April 10
and 11, 2011. Like so many other on-campus anti-Israel Nuremberg
Rallies at BGU, this one too is organized by the tenured tanzim in
BGU's politics department. The spring "human rights conferences"
have been held each year at BGU and each year they consist of the
same thing. The conference is co-sponsored by a whole set of
far-leftist anti-Israel NGOs. And every single speaker at the
conference is a far-leftist anti-Zionist (except for one technical
talk by the Registrar of non-profits in Israel). Not a single
pro-Israel speaker will participate and not a single speaker will
discuss "human rights" anywhere in the Arab world. It is abundantly
clear that every single discussion of "human rights" at the
"conference" will be an assault against Israel. "Human rights"
violations are only done by Israel and only done as part of
"occupation."
Among the speakers will be Prof. Oren Yiftachel,
BGU anti-Israel geographer, who has built an entire career upon
smearing Israel as an apartheid regime; Dani Filc, the chair of the
political science department at BGU, Neve Gordon's sidekick, and the
head of the anti-Semitic "Physicians for Human Rights": Yagil Levy,
an extremist anti-Israel sociologist at Israel's "Open University";
Trotskyite anti-Zionist Efraim Davidi; Yossi Yonah, an extremist
leftist BGU professor of education; and "Rabbi" Arik Ascherman, a
head of the misnamed "Rabbis for Human Rights," a group that does
not think Jews deserve to have any human rights. In addition,
speakers include representatives of about 10 different far-leftist
anti-Israel NGO's, ranging from "Zochrot," which wants to replace
all Hebrew names of places in Israel with Arabic names, the Israeli
chapter of anti-Israel Amnesty International, Betselem, the "Left
Bank," "Physicians for Human Rights," and several others of similar
ilk. While not listed as speakers, the entire "conference" has the
fingerprints of the anti-Semitic Neve Gordon and his Dean, David
Newman, smeared all over it.
Even the leftist YNET web site ran an article
about this one-sided anti-Israel indoctrination "conference,"
expressing astonishment that BGU is allowing this sort of Nuremberg
Rally to be held on campus facilities paid for by the Israeli
taxpayer. In Hebrew only, you can read it
here.
Cabbagehead Carmi will no doubt insist that the
conference is pluralistic and balanced. After all, among the
pro-terror anti-Israel speakers there we find both men and women,
both Israelis and non-Israelis, academic propagandists and
non-academic propagandists.
And then she will appeal to the Jews of the
world to support Ben Gurion University, to send it donations, for
where else can one find such a fine example of academic freedom,
diversity and pluralism!
