Bezalel Academy artist and lecturer David Tartakover uses art to
attack his fellow Israelis
As mentioned, Tartakover has enormous contempt for religious Jews,
something that also colors his hatred for Jews who reside in Yesha.
He expressed this artistically when he defaced the memorial of
assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the words, Killed by
a Kippa wearing Jew! thus lumping all religious Jews (no doubt to
him, all those in Yesha are religious too, when many are not) into
the same group.

Bar Ilan University - Menachem Klein (Dept of
Political Studies) Participated in Conference that promotes "ending
the Occupation"
The following Israeli academics participated in FFIPP-International
Conference that promotes "ending the Occupation":
Menachem Klein, Bar Ilan University - Dept of Political Studies
Kenneth Mann, Tel Aviv University - Dept of Law
Eyal Wiezman, University of London - Dept of Visual Cultures
It has been almost two years since the last FFIPP conference in
Ramallah.
Since then, the situation in the Occupied Territories has
deteriorated with the
rapidly worsening conditions in Gaza, the continued construction of
the Wall
and the settlements, continued violence— mainly against the
Palestinians- and
the lack of any progress in the ‘negotiations’. The tensions between
Hamas and
Fatah continued as well and the isolation of Hamas contributed to
the general
deterioration. The Annapolis conference has failed to produce any
positive
change in the region and the occupation of Iraq is now threatening
to escalate
into, potentially, a major confrontation with Iran.

Open University - Yossi Dahan (Dept. of Philosophy) Uses the
Term "Social Justice" Selectively
Thus for Yossi Dahan, “social justice”
apparently means anything that Israel does is socially unjust, at
least in terms of dealing with surrounding violent Arab entities
that have an undying mantra to kill Jews, and ultimately to destroy
Israel. He helps Arabs claim Israeli land that may not belong to
them; he also defends the “proletariat” (communists in Israel want
the state replaced with a new dictatorship of the proletariat and
for good measure, the Arabs dominating) that includes foreign
workers inside Israel illegally.
Nearly 30% of Israel’s
children and elderly are forced to eat in soup kitchens because of
poverty. 13,000 Israeli children have been added to the ranks of
those who must eat in soup kitchens. But in my research about Yossi Dahan, I could not find an equal dedication to “social
justice” for these people. He seeks to help Arabs who want to take
what little land Israel has while 22 surrounding Arab countries call
for her destruction with a land ratio of 650 to 1. Where’s the
social justice in that for Jews?

Interdisciplinary Center (Herzliya) - Bernard Avishai (Dept. of
Business and Government) denounces Israel once again
'In his ire at Israel's religious Jews, Avishai makes all manner
of unsubstantiated claims about them. Their commitment to democracy
is, he asserts, opportunistic; they engage in voter fraud, shirk
taxes, justify male brutality against women, admire 'obscure'
rabbis, engage in 'bizarre' rituals, are raised on hatred of the
goy. Their eyes 'burn through you.' Several times he entertains the
notion that Judaism is a racist and even a blood religion.'
Bernard Avishai is Dean of the Raphael Recanati International
School and a professor of business and government at the
Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, Israel

Technion, University of Haifa, and Hebrew University - For
Professors Jacob and Tamar Katriel and their children, bashing
Israel is a family affair -
by Lee Kaplan
"Jacob Katriel is in fact
a Stalinist communist ideologue who has been a central figure in
Israel’s communist party that is mostly dominated by Arab-Israeli
members who are irredentists against Israel’s Jews. If it has
anything to do with smearing the Jewish state, Katriel will do it
while reaping the rewards of his tenured retirement sinecure paid
for by the Israeli taxpayer and donors to Israeli universities. His
wife and children are equally close allies in damning Israel any way
they can. Among Katriel’s major efforts, supported equally by all
members of his family, are attempts to compare Israel with apartheid
South Africa in order to promote worldwide divestment making a false
comparison with what was a genuinely racist South African regime
back in the 1980’s."

Bar Ilan University - Kobi Snitz (Dept. of Mathematics) representing
violent "Anarchists Against the Wall"
Anarchists Against The Wall (AATW) is a
pro-violence Israeli group that supports the popular Palestinian
struggle. The proximity of the struggle on the ground to Israeli
cities presents an opportunity for intense involvement by many
Israelis. At the same time, the physical risk in such activity is
quite high. It goes without saying that the risks for our
Palestinian partners are much higher. As a small group with an
aversion to... Kobi Snitz is a member of Anarchists against the
Wall. His political involvement started when he joined CUPE local
3902 as a teaching assistant in Toronto. He continued being active
as a graduate student in the United States, working on teaching
assistant union drives, and to oppose U.S. aggression. His work with
AATW started when he returned to his native Israel in 2003.

Bar Ilan University - Kobi Snitz (Dept. of Mathematics) in Amherst claims
Israel has no right to build a defensive wall to keep out terrorists
Several weeks ago, Rateb Abu Rahma and Kobi Snitz,
members of the group "Faculty for Israeli - Palestinian Peace,"
visited the University of Massachusetts and the surrounding area.
Their talk was titled "Bil'in, Village of Resistance," and referred
to a town where non-violent resistance led to an Israeli court
ruling to redirect a portion of the wall that goes through the area.
The event was poorly attended at UMass but nevertheless proved to be
very informative and was greatly appreciated. It was a privilege to
have people who have experienced Israeli crimes firsthand come speak
for the sake of spreading knowledge and nurturing concern for
innocent people on both sides of the conflict. The speakers' message
was clear: the separation that Israel has built along the West Bank
is a hindrance to people's lives in the region and must be torn down
if peace is desired.

Sapir College - Naama Shefi (Head of the School of Communications) endorses the anti-Israel Arab lecturer at her
school who refused to allow a reserve soldier to enter the classroom
'It should not
be overlooked that Hassan used one of the few platforms available to
him as an Arab-Israeli intellectual. He did so as a director who is
training young directors, and as usual he challenged them with his
harsh statement. But Hassan did not perceive that he violated the
trust placed in him as someone who is supposed to fight for the
freedom of ideas and a high standard of ethics.'
To complain: The President of Sapir College is
Prof. Zev Tzahor, whose fax is 972-8-6899412.

Forty Israeli Academics back the Arab lecturer
who barred Jewish soldier in uniform from his class
Nizar Hassan, the filmmaker who instructed a
student at Sapir College in Sderot not to come to class wearing his
army uniform and carrying a gun, "is a talented and courageous
artist whose only sin was his attempt to maintain universal civic
values" and whose action "pointed to the serious phenomenon of the
great involvement of the army in campus life."
These statements are in a petition of support for
Hassan signed by dozens of Jewish and Arab university teachers.
Hassan was suspended by the college until the disciplinary committee
reaches a decision in his case. After a hearing last Thursday, the
committee could recommend a punishment ranging from an official
reprimand to dismissal.
