If you thought the performance of Prof. Falk was a textbook study of Orwellian propaganda hard to outperform, consider Prof. Gaby Piterberg, who threw in an analogy with “the excessive violence by France in Algeria during the Algerian War of Independence.” There you have it: Israel is no more than a colonial power with no rights whatsoever in the foreign land it occupies. Another professor, another nonsense, another class of students to be indoctrinated by the vilest propaganda in one of the most prestigious centers of higher learning in America.
When supposedly knowledgeable people, claiming expert status, indulge in such a disfiguration of reality, there can only be one reason: to divert guilt and responsibility from Hamas, where it belongs, to Israel, the eternal culprit in their eyes; and to denigrate the State of Israel selectively, for the sole reason that it is a Jewish State. There is a name for that malicious hatred, and the participants must surely know it, no matter how much they indulge in obfuscation. When falsehoods, malice and cowardice about facing the truth all join together, it can only be called hateful propaganda. Et tu, UCLA?
