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
"Mr. Netanyahu is one of the most media-savvy politicians on the planet. On Friday he appeared live via video link on 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' taking the host’s alternately sardonic and serious line of questioning with gazelle-like alacrity."
~ Anthony Grant, jourrnalist who has written for many major newspapers and worked in television at Paris and Tel Aviv, interviewing former PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, at the outset of Mr. Netanyahu's new book (more here).
