Israeli Human Rights Champion Meets U.S. Campus Demonstrators

(Israel Hayom) Natan Sharansky interviewed by Ran Puni - For his Zionist activities in the USSR, Natan Sharansky was sent to prison for nine years, half of which he spent in solitary confinement. He is a human rights activist, an Israeli politician, and former chair of the Jewish Agency. At one of his visits to American campuses, he says, "I gave a lecture on Jewish identity. There was an anti-Israel demonstration right outside. Demonstrators accused Israel of being an apartheid state. I tried to speak to one of the demonstrators, I told her how I was friends with Nelson Mandela, that I was even an international observer in the South African elections. I wanted to tell her about South Africa, so that we could understand together whether Israel was an apartheid state." "She began screaming out loud: 'We didn't come here to talk to you, we came here to demand a boycott of Israel.' This is a narrow oppressor vs. oppressed understanding, according to which Israel is a colonialist nation, the Palestinians are always right and there is nothing further to discuss."
