News from the Academic Gulag:
1. News from Israeli Academia:
Sapir College is a far-leftist college supported by public funds, located in embattled Sderot, and it has long been a hotbed of violent anti-Israel leftism. The news this week:
"The Power of the Word" exhibition includes works with the phrases "ISIS," "Slaughter the Jews," and "In blood and fire we will redeem Palestine" • MKs, organizations and members of public in a rage over the provocative art show.
Students, organizations and members of Knesset are fuming after Sapir Academic College in Sderot allowed the display of a contentious exhibition in its art school's gallery that critics feel promotes the massacre of Jews and terrorism and offends the religious public. The exhibition, called "The Power of the Word," is curated by Liav Mizrahi and includes among its works three hamsas (palm-shaped amulets popular throughout the Middle East) created by artist Gad Wellnitz and decorated with the words "ISIS," "Slaughter the Jews," and "In blood and fire we will redeem Palestine." The exhibition also features a picture by artist David Riv, where the words "Jerusalem of Gold" are printed along with the words "Jerusalem of Shit," beside images of Jews praying at the Western Wall. Before the exhibition was opened on Tuesday, Likud MK Danny Danon approached Sapir College President Omri Yadlin and said, "This exhibition is necessarily provocative. It is shocking to see an academic institution in Israel displaying exhibitions that promote terrorism and killing Jews." Right-wing organization Im Tirtzu also approached Yadlin in an effort to stop the exhibition. The group's director Matan Peleg called it "a disgrace" and said, "We are again bearing witness to anti-Zionist propaganda sponsored by academia under the guise of pluralism." Sapir College maintains that the exhibition is displaying art from both sides of the conflict. "The exhibition includes works by some of the best artists in Israel, including Israel Prize laureates whose works have received institutional, public and governmental recognition," read a statement released by the school. The statement concluded with, "Sapir College fosters freedom of expression and thought and cultivates pluralism and tolerance." |

As followup to the story about the outrageous "art" exhibit at Sapir College, which featured a "hamsa" on which it read "Massacre the Jews." Sapir College has a long track record of being a center for anti-Israel Far Leftist agitprop. It ran pro-Hamas rallies.
Well, just a few days too late for Hannuka, some heroic Maccabees STOLE the atrocity out of the exhibit yesterday! If the heroes go public I propose they be nominated for the Israeli Medal of Valor!

3. Auld Lang Zion 2015
Should auld accomplice be forgot,
And never brought to trial?
Should auld Osloids, friend, be forgot,
In days of auld lang Zion?
For betraying auld lang Zion, my dear,
For abasing auld lang Zion.
Should their accomplice be forgot,
In days of auld lang Zion?
We yids hae run aboot the world,
Under fire the whole time.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
To reach auld lang Zion.
Save auld lang Zion, my dear,
Save auld lang Zion,
Indict those Oslo blaggards, dear,
For the sake of auld lang Zion!!!
