Hundreds of academics and "artists" sign yet another letter to dismantle Israel

Over 800 academics and artists have signed yet another letter demanding that Israel be destroyed and replaced with yet another Arab-majority state.

Somehow, this Arab state will be "a democratic constitutional arrangement that grants and implements on all the inhabitants of this land equal rights and duties, regardless of their racial, ethnic, and religious identities, or gender preferences."

Like all the other Arab states!

We know that they want this to be another Arab state because the letter says the state will "give priority to the long deferred right of return of Palestinian refugees expelled from their towns and villages during the creation of the State of Israel."

The letter uses the word "apartheid" 17 times. 

It should not need to be said that people who are obsessed with the destruction of the world's only Jewish state, who are silent about the scores of states that declare themselves to be Christian, Muslim, Arab or Buddhist, prove themselves to be antisemites. But just to make sure, they use the Nazi-era term of "Jewish supremacy."

The organization behind this letter is French - Association des Universitaires pour le Respect du Droit International en Palestine - so it is not surprising that over 200 of the signatories are from France. As of this writing, 151 are from the US and 116 are from the UK.

While there are some Israelis on the list, only one identifies as living in Israel now - Emmanuel Farjoun, Emeritus Professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who had called for boycotting Israel in 2002, before the BDS movement officially started.

The home page of AURDIP includes this photo, which almost certainly shows the results of a Gaza rocket that fell short in a school in 2014. This is exactly the pattern of Gaza terror rocket damage and not Israeli airstrikes. (If an Israeli rocket was shot at this school, there would be no school there.)

Which tells that these are hate groups and those who sign their letters filled with bile, not at all interested in justice or peace.
