We have reported regularly on the antics and shenanigans of Tel Aviv University's Anat Matar, one of the worst tenured extremists at Tel Aviv University. She is violent and has been arrested for her violence. She despises Israel and wants it destroyed. She is a tenured faculty member in philosophy.

Well, Sister Matar is back in the news these days as a cheerleader and open endorser of terrorist murders of Israelis. She is one of the Israeli airhead leftists who held a celebration of the freeing of the 1000 plus terrorists in the "prisoner exchange deal" that purchased the liberation of Gilad Shalit. But she was not celebrating because Shalit was being freed, but rather because murderers of Jews were being set free.

One of those released from Israeli prison was convicted terrorist Muchlas Burjal. He had thrown a grenade at a bus with Jews inside, except the grenade did not go off. Anat Matar has proclaimed him a hero and participated in the welcoming celebrations when he returned home. She organized a group of Israeli leftists to greet the terrorist at his home, bedecked in PLO flags, joined by Arab fascist members of the Israeli parliament.

Cited in Makor Rishon [print edition October 28, 2011 - Hebrew], Matar says that Burjal is a hero because he threw the grenade at a bus carrying Israeli soldiers and not civilians, and such an attack is a legitimate form of resistance. Oh, and not to worry, Matar's own son was not inside the bus because he served time in prison for refusing to do army service altogether. Matar is now lobbying for the release of another convicted terrorist, one Walid Daka, who murdered Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam. Matar insists that Daka is actually innocent because he says he is. The court that convicted him disagrees. In an interview with Makor Rishon, Matar expressed support for terrorist violence by Palestinian against Israelis as resistance to "occupation."

Curiously, some of the other Israeli ultra-leftist academic extremists are denouncing Sister Anat. For example, Alon Harel, a radical professor of law at the Hebrew University, criticized her for her celebrations of terrorism.

Are you concerned that a tenured member of the faculty at Tel Aviv University is working as a promoter of murdering Jews and as an enabler of terrorist atrocities? Why not tell the heads of TAU what you think:
