"Israel Apartheid Week" spreads to more campuses

Somehow I missed the coming and going of this exercise in hate last week.

From the Canadian Jewish News:

Universities across Canada, Europe and the United States hosted the third “Israeli Apartheid Week,” a series of lectures on the topic “Zionist ethnic cleansing, colonization and occupation of Palestine.”

The organizers of the event Feb. 12 to 17, including the Arab Students’ Collective, Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights and the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid – which is not a campus group – held lectures at universities in Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal, New York, Oxford, Cambridge and London.

On a website that promoted the week-long event, the organizers accused Israel, Canada and the United States of “tightening the strangulation hold on the Palestinian people in an attempt to provoke Palestinian infighting… while the Israeli military continues its brutal daily assault on Palestinian life.”

And guess who was in the mix, DePaul University assistant professor of political science and holocaust minimizer Norman G. Finkelstein.

Norman Finkelstein, author of The Holocaust Industry, was also scheduled to speak at McMaster University in Hamilton.
It's on Abnormal Norman's site.
