Hebrew UniversityHebrew University - Nurit Peled-Elhanan (Dept. of Education) - Maariv Editor Denounces Hebrew University Professor as anti-Semite and Traitorhttp://thejewishpress.blogspot.com/2008/12/maariv-editor-denounces-hebrew.html Posted
by Steven Plaut While almost all Israeli journalists coddle the leftist anti-Zionist academics at Israeli universities and pander to their treason, praising them as courageous moral role models, Ben Dror Yemini, the deputy editor of Maariv, is a notable and heroic exception. While a bit left of center in his own personal outlook, he nevertheless is willing to call a leftist spade a spade and often is willing to call a leftist spade a traitor. He has frequently attacked leftist seditious Israeli Jewish professors by name. In his weekend column yesterday, he outdoes even himself. He takes on Prof. Nurit Elhanan-Peled, the very same moonbette whom we cited and commented about in a posting a few days ago. To remind you, Elhanan-Peled is a professor of education at the Hebrew University. She is sister to Marxist professor of history Yoav Peled at Tel Aviv University and her own daughter was murdered by a Palestinian suicide bomber in Jerusalem. In response to that murder, Elhanan-Peled has since devoted herself to promoting the agenda and cause of the very same terrorists who murdered her own daughter. Her latest outburst of cheering on behalf of the Hamas was posted by us a few days back and can be read at this URL. Yemini viciously attacks Elhanan-Peled in his column on Dec 26. It can be read in Hebrew here. Significantly, Yemini explicitly calls her an anti-Semite and a traitor in his column. I translate the relevant parts for you (my own translation) here: 'The Hamas will also Take Care of the Lecturer 'There is in fact no reason to wait for any imminent military action. The Lie Factory is already hard at work at full steam. This week a new record was broken. A lecturer at the Hebrew University wrote an article, "The Heroes of the Gaza Strip," about those Gazans who express the "free spirit of humanity" in opposition to the "military plan about to commence by the criminals of the occupation army." The writer uses the word "thugs," that favorite term for Jews used by anti-Semites, to describe the Jewish bullies who are in secret control of the world. The use of the term is not naïve and innocent. It erases the distinction between anti-Zionists and anti-Semites. The propaganda of "atrocities" has already arrived. No need to await a large action. 'The writer is Dr. Nurit Peled-Elhanan, the granddaughter of the late reserve general Matityahu Peled (a notable Israeli communist ironically named Matityahu --- SP). She is a begrieved mother, whose own daughter was killed in a terrorist attack in Jerusalem. She of course blames Israel for that, not the murderers. She goes out of her way to JUSTIFY the murderers! And if we yearn to understand why the freedom of spirit is being defeated and why the Islamist anti-Semitism is winning, it behooves us to continue to read her malicious propaganda in this regard. 'Israel, according to the writer Peled-Elhanan, "is sunk up to its neck in the blood of innocent (Palestinian) babies and every breath that we take shoots out red bubbles of blood into the air of the holy land." Peled-Elhanan then makes a blood-chilling misuse of the famous poem by Bialik about the Kishinev pogrom, "On the Massacre," which includes the famous line, "The revenge for the death a small child has not yet been invented by the Devil." That poem was written about the Kishinev pogrom. But she declares that "the child in question is the Palestinian from Gaza, and his butchers are the Jewish soldiers." Here we have yet another medieval blood libel. Again the Jews are murdering children. 'She writes about "cities of massacre," about a massacre supposedly being perpetrated against Palestinians. Except that she knows perfectly well that Israel has never carried out any massacre, ever, and not even something resembling a massacre, during the entire 40 years of occupation of the occupied territories. In reality, the number of Palestinians injured has been extremely low, both relatively and in absolute numbers, in comparison with any other conflict anywhere on the planet. But since when do anti-Semites care about facts. 'She refers to the Hamas murderers as "freedom fighters." No doubt she also considers the Nazis to have been also when they were struggling against the Jews. After all, years and years of demonization of Jews, of painting the Jews as the "threat to world tranquility," preceded annihilation of the Jews back then also. Peled-Elhanan continues their work. She is now perpetrating the demonization of Jews. At one time someone like Peled-Elhanan would have been tossed into prison as a traitor. The world has changed. Peled-Elhanan is the recipient of the "Sakharov Prize" granted to her by the European parliament. 'So what does one do with sicknesses like this? Silencing them would be prohibited, would turn them into martyrs. You know – the victims of the Israeli stormtroopers. What needs to be done is to do to them what they are trying to do to Israel – to turn them into lepers. To expose the anti-Semitic essence in them. And the fact that they are barons in the factory of lies. That they are the defense advocates of the anti-Semitic regime at our gates. Peled-Elhanan is operating among us and at times at our expense. She and her ilk are in service to the murderous Hamas regime. She and her ilk are perpetuating bloodshed. And in spite of that, we are commanded not to prosecute the anti-Semites in our midst. (I disagree --- SP) 'If her plot succeeds, the Hamas will be victorious and rule over us here and IT will then do the dirty job! Both to us and to her!'
**** Please take a few moments and send a letter of outrage to the heads of the Hebrew University and to all Hebrew University "friends of" offices around the world. Let them know what you think of people like Elhanan-Peled being emplyed using the funds of Israeli taxpayers, alumni, and overseas donors. Please cite Yemini and demand that the Hebrew University take action against the pro-terror anti-Semites on its faculty (of whom Elhanan-Peled is not the only one!). To do so, contact: The
President of the Hebrew University The
Rector of the Hebrew University is List
of Hebrew University "Friends of" Offices with email addresses and
faxes: Finally, please note that Isracampus.org.il is the Israeli watchdog group that monitors and exposes academic treason in Israel, following the shenanigans of Israel's Academic Fifth Column, and exposing campus politicization and extremism in Israel.
