To borrow a phrase from the pro-Palestinian activists ("From the river to the sea"), you can call this, "From San Diego to San Francisco"' (with a few stops along the way at Berkeley and Santa Cruz). This week, I attended and reported on another one of those professorial-sponsored propaganda events at San Diego State University-this one featuring International Solidarity Movement co-founder Huwaida Araff. Meanwhile, my friends at Pro-Israel Bay Bloggers were attending and reporting on a similar event at San Francisco State University-sponsored by the College of Ethnic Studies, no less.

As we have been reporting for weeks, SFSU has been hit with a rash of violent messages directed at Israelis. Now this.
I was particularly struck at how these characters can include Martin Luther King and Leila Khaled, who gained fame when she participated in a sky-jacking-something Dr King never dreamed of doing- in the same speech. Indeed, I am always offended when these characters like Omar Barghouti from the Middle East and Pakistan etc. come here and invoke the name of Martin Luther King and compare their struggle with the civil rights movement in America. It is downright disgusting because they don't know what they are talking about.
And what the Hell is "Race and Resistance Studies", anyway?
Anyway, they have a real mess on their hands at SFSU. It appears that aside from a few students, it appears to be, shall we say, institutional in nature.
