marching during a student council election rally at Bir Zeit University, near
Ramallah, on April 20, 2015. Right: Kadoori University in Tulkarem this month
suspended a student who hugged his fiancé in public. The student was accused
of "immodest conduct" and is facing a disciplinary hearing.
These are the days when everything is backwards. The
"pro-Palestinian" activists on university campuses throughout the
Western world have gotten into the spirit: Palestinian students and academics
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip endure daily harassment by the Palestinian
Authority (PA) and Hamas, because all that gets the activists going are
"Israeli abuses."
Apparently, today, to be "pro-Palestinian" one has to be
"anti-Israel."
For the self-appointed advocates of the Palestinians at Western
university campuses, the Palestinian issue is nothing but a vehicle for
spewing hatred toward Israel. In good, backwards form, Israel is castigated,
and the PA and Hamas are free to abuse their own people.
It seems that in the view of the anti-Israel folks, the Palestinians
should not even hope for human rights under the Palestinian regimes.
