Carnival of Hatred: Israel Apartheid Week on Campus
(Jerusalem Post) Amit Deri - This week is "Israel Apartheid Week" at universities across the U.S. and Canada. It is an anti-Semitic hate fest, cynically marketed as a human rights campaign. It will be a week in which sanctimonious but actually clueless people will shout empty slogans and blame Israel for all the evil in the world. It will be a week where anyone who dares to speak up and expose these lies will be shouted down. While, under Muslim rule, members of the LGBT community are thrown from rooftops and women are murdered in honor killings, there will be no protests against these horrific acts. This glaring selectivity of concern shows that the real focus of Apartheid Week is on hatred of Israel, not concern for the human rights of oppressed people. Countering this tidal wave of ignorance and venomous hatred is no small task. Our belief is that the biggest mistake would be to walk away, letting the haters have their moment unquestioned and unchallenged. The writer is the CEO of Reservists on Duty.
