Allow us to introduce you to Hannah Safran (http://thm-a01.yimg.com/image/fe9b9ce96206f626 ), an aging Israel-hating far-leftist "academic." She teaches feminist dogma at the Galilee Academic College in Afula and used to spout her nonsense at the "Women's Studies" program at the University of Haifa. Safran is one of the most open detesters of Israel pretending to be an academic in Israel. She is a founder and long time activist in the pro-terror "Women in Black" group, which has never heard of a terrorist atrocity against Jews it does not think they deserved.

A few days ago Safran had a column in the leftwing Neo-Nazi web magazine Counterpunch, published by Alexander Cockburn and his band of jihad cheerleaders. The title of her rant is, and I am not making this up: "Ready to be Traitors: The Israeli Resistance." It can be read at http://counterpunch.com/safran03262009.html. In it she calls for Israeli "resistance" against Israel, the code word used by leftists for terrorism.

In it she also hails the violent "anarchists" who attack police and soldiers in their efforts to sabotage Israel's security wall and so allow the Palestinian mass murderers to enter Israel. She proclaims an infantile anti-Ashkenazi racism in her rant: "These groups have not yet been able to formulate a common platform for change, and they are facing the resistance of the hegemonic Ashkenazi (Jews of European descent) establishment, which refuses to recognize their existence and importance. But in spite of their orchestrated attempt to make the entire left-peace-resistance movement invisible, these social forces, together with the new left, might one day group together to effect change." Then without blinking an eye she denounces Israel itself for being racist: "The 'only democracy in the Middle East', as Israel portrays itself, does not allow dissent. If you are against its military offensive you are immediately branded a traitor. From this, the idea follows that all Palestinian citizens of Israel who oppose the war should be stripped of their citizenship. Such racism is what all of us, Jews and Arabs, have to suffer when we decide to publicly oppose the war." She concludes with a salute to Israeli traitors (HER term for them) and calls for much more treason against Israel. She issued this call for treason on the web page of a magazine that claims Jews were behind the 911 attacks on the US. (Safran has mooed there before - see this)

Please take a moment and let the heads of Galilee College know what you think of this creature teaching the hapless students at their college. To do so write

Dr. Gen (ret.) Baruch Levy Chairman, Board of Trustees

Dr. Joseph Shevel President
jshevel@galilcol.ac.il

Mr. Zalman Gordon Academic Director, Social Development Programmes
zgordon@galilcol.ac.il

By the way, Galilee College has a track record of moonbatism. It used to feature Ilan Pappe in some of its special programs and it still has a massive collaboration effort with "Palestinian" organizations (see http://www.galilcol.ac.il/page.asp?id=12 )

Safran's email is: hannahs@yvc.ac.il

The new Minister of Education in the Netanyahu government is to be Likud member Gideon Sa'ar. His email is gsaar@knesset.gov.il. His fax is 972- 2-6753525. Why not urge him to make his first act in office an unconditional demand from Galilee College that Hannah Safran be canned at once for her celebration of treason?

Safran is cited at this excellent web site in trying to explain her treasonous agitprop against Israel:
http://myrightword.blogspot.com/2006/08/and-this-is-academic.html
There she says (in 2006): "Without this, I don't have a life. I am scared. I am desperate," said Safran, 56, who was making anti-war signs in Hebrew, Arabic and English at a women's center in Haifa days before the July 29 protest. "This is what gives me the ability to cope, the hope that we can change, that our life has meaning."

Translation: I am bored and do not know what to do with myself and destroying Israel is my hobby.
