Professor Judea Pearl of UCLA is the father of American journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded by terrorists in Pakistan. On May 22, Dr Pearl appeared at a debate on BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanctions) at UCLA. In the below op-ed in the LA Jewish Journal, he details what he told the audience.

Someone whose name I don't recall recently described Israel as a diamond in a sea of mud referring to the rest of the Middle East. I would say that Dr Pearl is a diamond in a sea of mud that is UCLA. He stands in stark contrast to the radical Israel-haters in the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies. Dr Pearl is a man of courage in stark contrast to the empty suit chancellor of UCLA, Gene Block, who has allowed Jewish students to be bullied by pro-Palestinian supporters on his campus with impunity.
UCLA needs more people like Dr Pearl.
