Israeli deaths glorified at LSE on Holocaust Memorial Day.

http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/israeli-deaths-glorified-at-lse-on-holocaust-memorial-day/

Tuesday was the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau but that same night at the London School of Economics at a joint Palestine Society and Feminist Society event Israelis were portrayed as rapists and those who killed Israelis were applauded.

In front of a banner that read “Towards Freedom and Independence the Uprising Continues” a panel of four women described the role Palestinian women should play in the “uprising”....



This is what the anti-Zionist / BDS movement is all about. When will the most hostile "progressive" critics of Israel denounce this type of shit?

“The only thing that can deter terrorists, like those who kidnapped the children and killed them, is the knowledge that their sister or their mother will be raped.” This assertion was made by Middle East scholar Dr. Mordechai Kedar of Bar-Ilan University about three weeks ago on an Israel Radio program. “It sounds very bad, but that’s the Middle East,” added Kedar, of Bar-Ilan’s Department of Arabic.

Somehow, pointing out that this was said is more sickening than the fact that it was said.
