The
Zionist Con Game in America: NTNU Norway – Proposes
Academic Boycott of Israel

NTNU Norway – Proposes Academic Boycott of Israel
Several days ago (9 November 2009), David Harris,
Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee,
wrote an article for the Huffington Post complaining
that later this month the Norwegian University of
Science and Technology (NTNU), will consider a
proposed boycott of Israel.
His complaint is typical of the kind of twisted logic
used by American Zionists to advance Israel's causes.
He asks:
Why the call for the boycott? The appeal's first
sentence says it all: "Since 1948, the state of Israel
has occupied Palestinian land and denied the
Palestinians basic human rights." The boycott should
continue until there "is an end to the occupation."
The caustic attitude and demeaning tone appears to
deny the truth in the statement. Both Israelis and
American Zionists have been dismissive of any
Palestinian rights since the terrorist Irgun and Stern
Gang's insurrection against British rule and terrorist
slaughter of Palestinians.
Harris continues: "It (NTNU) goes on to accuse Israeli
academics, among other alleged misdeeds, of developing
"Zionist ideology and renouncing Palestinian history
and identity."
"There you have it," he groans. "Israel is deemed
illegal. It has no right to exist. Until it disappears
from the face of the earth, it must be treated as a
pariah nation, so radioactive as to be untouchable. "
Harris admits that "at least the petitioners are being
honest", complaining that "More often, we're treated
to deliberately vague slogans such as `end the
occupation', without any specificity. " Israel has no
right to occupy Palestine. It is a pariah nation; and
it is radioactive!
The sarcasm persists: "Do these calls refer to 1948,
the year of Israel's establishment, or 1967, the year
Israel fought a war of self-defence and, in winning,
acquired territory it then expected to trade for a
peace agreement? It can be hard, if not impossible, to
tell."
The audacity of his reference to 1948 as "the year of
Israel's establishment" purposely ignores 9 April
1948, when the Jewish Irgun terrorist group attacked
Deir Yassin, Palestine, murdering 254 women and
children captured in the village. Israel's terrorist
founders caused thousands of Palestinians to flee for
their lives as refugees.
Harris indulges himself in self-righteousness by
referring to "1967 [as] the year Israel fought a war
of self-defence and, in winning, acquired territory".
He distorts history by pretending the 1967 war was not
meticulously planned by Israel many years before.
"Of all the nations in the world, according to these
Norwegian luminaries, only Israel has no legitimacy
and must be ostracized," says Harris, attempting to
legitimize Israel with several ludicrous historical
twists:
Obviously, the ancient Hebrew presence, the continuous
link between the Jewish people and the land, the
Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations mandate,
and the votes of the UN Special Committee on Palestine
and the UN General Assembly have no bearing, though
they provide a legal and historical foundation for
statehood far exceeding that of many countries.
One need only consider the deceptive claim about the
"ancient Hebrew presence, the continuous link between
the Jewish people and the land…" The reader of
Harris's diatribe is supposed to ignore the ancient
Palestinian presence and their continuous link to the
same land.
However, in the most irrational bluff, Harris argues:
@@In reality, if the petitioners were truly concerned
about sovereign legitimacy, they might begin by asking
how many countries in the world today were established
by violent conquest. And how many were created by
politicians in distant capitals dispassionately
drawing and redrawing boundaries in far-off lands?@@
In the twisted logic of Zionist deceit, other's wrongs
justify Israel's. Others cheated! Why pick on us?
Because you're guilty.
