In photo - leftist indoctrinator Prof. Alon Harel. Dogs, Zionists, and non-Leftists unwanted!
Makor Rishon January 15, 2010 carries an interesting news item about the Hebrew University. Leftwing one-sided indoctrination "conferences" take place there all the time. But now the organizer of one rather uncharacteristically ADMITS that it is a one-sided indoctrination "conference."
The story involves a Far-Leftist law professor at Hebrew University, Alon Harel. He has a long track record of refusing to endorse freedom of speech for non-leftists and routinely endorses the various leftist sacred cows. Naturally he also defends those calling for a worldwide boycott of Israel to force it to capitulate to Arab demands. He also supports calls on Israeli soldiers to engage in mutiny and imsurrection out of pro-Palestinian political ideology, and has also referred to Israel as an "apartheid" regime.
Well, the very same Harel distributed an electronic call this past week for academics to attend a "conference" on the Mount Scopus campus on "Legal Aspects of Jewish Settlement in 'Sheikh Jarrah' and East Jerusalem." 'Sheikh Jarrah' is the Arab name for the Simon the Righteous neighborhood where the Left is attempting to prevent Jews from moving in. Every single speaker at this "conference" is a far-leftist.
When the invitation reached Yoed Halbersberg, a PhD student in law at the Hebrew University, he was offended by the fact that the "conference" in the invitation included no non-leftists. So he wrote the organizer, Harel, to ask him about the lack of any philosophical diversity. Harel replied that the "conference" was clearly meant to be a leftist-only event. Only leftist perspectives on the legal issues would be permitted. That is because in the view of the totalitarian Left there is only one permissible point of view.
So why exactly are the heads of the Hebrew University turning over the campus to indoctrination "conferences" in which only leftist opinions are permitted?
