For UCLA Professor, Free Speech is a One-Way Street

I am cross-posting an article written for the LA Jewish Journal by Roz Rothstein and Roberta Seid of Stand With Us, a Jewish/Israel advocacy group regarding UCLA professor Gabriel Piterberg, who is another one of the regulars on the bash-Israel campus tour. Piterberg was born in Argentina and grew up in Israel. Yet, he is active in trying to deligitimize the Jewish state. It seems Piterberg took part in another one of those infamous "teach-ins", where teachers try to indoctrinate the students.

I attended an event at UC Irvine back in the January 2009 entitled, " Whither the Levant", which was a one-sided bashing of Israel. Not one panelist spoke in defense of Israel. One of the panelists was Gabriel Piterberg, who for his part, referred to George W Bush and Dick Cheney as "evil", and accused Israel of "dancing on the blood of dead Palestinian children". He referred to "other countries" where settlers wiped out the indigenous populations. Furthermore, he referred to Barack Obama as "Clinton in black skin", and that his cabinet was right out of the AIPAC wish list.

Piterberg, of course, is part of the UC anti-Israel traveling circus, made up of himself, David Theo Goldberg, Lina Kreidie, and Mark LeVine of UCI, Saree Makdisi (UCLA), William Robinson and Lisa Hajjar of UC Santa Barbara, and Hatem Bazian of Berkeley. I am sure there are many more, but those are the ones that always come to mind.

If you look at Piterberg's bio, you get the impression that not only does he despise the country where he grew up and got his education, but he doesn't seem to care much for the country where he presently lives and makes his living.
