Israelis at
Non-Israeli Universities
University of Exeter - Professional Israel Basher Ilan Pappe
(Dept. of Political Science) Proclaimed Hero of the Raelian Movement
of UFO Chasers
Bow down to him,
earthling scum!
Now frankly I would
not blame you a bit for assuming the following story is a gag. After
all, Purim is anon. And the story is so absurd that it could clearly
be nothing but a spoof. So I forgive you in advance for dismissing
this post as parody. Nevertheless, there is it on the news services
of the world. Yes, comrades, the Raelian movement of UFO hunters has
decided to grant its award for "Honorary Guide of Humanity" to
Israeli expatriate anti-Semite Ilan Pappe.
The story is here:

For those who have
not heard of them, The Raelians are the followers of a race car
driver who suddenly started having strange encounters with UFOs and
space aliens. The Raelians make Barry Chamish look sane.

Now I think it is
lovely that Ilan Pappe is at long last getting the recognition that
he so richly deserves for his important scholarly work and
university career. Pappe has built his academic career upon
inventing an imaginary massacre at Tantora, out of fabricating the
tale that Israel carried out "ethnic cleansing" of Arabs, and out of
serving as Israel's Lord Haw-Haw in regard to everything else. Now,
evidently, he has decided that the planet earth is just not large
enough for "the Guide of Humanity's" ego and so Pappe is taking his
campaign against the Joos to the stars.
Here is the official
Raelian announcement:

Here are some
segments of that announcement: '(Raelian spokeswoman) Boisselier
said that according to Raelian philosophy, humanity on Earth was
created by human beings from another planet. "…All prior prophets
foretold the last prophet, Rael, who has a special role to play in
Israel as the Messiah. He is to build the Third Temple there, an
embassy to welcome the Elohim, our creators." 'But Israel has not
yet agreed to cooperate, she said….As Pappe has said, the present
state of Israel is the worst thing that has happened to the
Palestine region. Nevertheless, that region now contains many
Raelian activists, who will never stop devoting their lives to the
building of a peaceful, unified Palestine. They fully support the
new Honorary Guide, Ilan Pappe."
