Our Own Little Sewer System
March 8, 2011
As "Israel Apartheid Week" kicked off Monday on college campuses, in support of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, the one and only democracy in the Middle East, the group NGO Monitor has announced the "BDS Sewer System," which provides detailed information on the sources of funding behind the delegitimization campaigns against Israel (more here).
Sewer system is right. As for the contents of that sewer seeping into and being absorbed on our college campuses (i.e., our so-called institutions of higher learning), note that what we are witnessing today is ignorance in action. And as Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
[p.s. As I read about this BS, er BDS, I couldn't help but remember that music video by LATMA, which is a great parody of these human rights/peace activist types. Watch video below.]

Notable Quotables
"Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
~ Israeli PM Menachem Begin, in June 1982 at height of Lebanon War, responding to then Senator Joe Biden in front of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, after Biden had attacked Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria and threatened to cut economic aid to Israel (more here).
