If you want to see a classic example of just how intellectually bankrupt the arguments of the pro-Palestinian forces are in our academia, you need to watch this film produced by Students Supporting Israel at Columbia University.
Students for Justice in Palestine was holding an event about the LGBQ community in "occupied Palestine" or whatever they call it. A group of SSI students made them look silly by pointing out that the gays in Gaza and the West Bank get shot. They pointed out one example by name and tried to get a reaction. SJP, for their part, were trying to make the case that occupation and colonialism breed anti-gay bias. Yet, in Israel, gays are treated equally and with respect, while in the Palestinian-held territories, they get killed by other Palestinians-all because of the evil occupying Israelis, who engage in so-called "pink-washing" in taking unfair PR advantage of their acceptance of gays.
Have I got that right, SJP?
