TA University Holding Pro-Gaza Conference

Reported: 13:14 PM - Apr/15/10     


(IsraelNN.com) A report in Maariv said that Tel Aviv University was on Thursday sponsoring a symposium called “Voice from Gaza.” Speaking at the symposium will be far-left academics and professors who have urged the United States to develop relations with terror groups Hamas and Hizbullah. Attendees will also have the opportunity to talk to their “colleagues” in Gaza via videoconferencing.

The symposium is being chaired by Professor Uri Hadar, who is a signatory to dozens of leftwing petitions, including a number calling on IDF soldiers to refuse to serve in Judea and Samaria, and to disobey orders that violate their conscience. He was also a strident supporter of Tali Fahima, who spied on Israel for her boyfriend, Zakaria Zubeidi, Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. Also attending will be Sarah Roy, a Jewish daughter of Holocaust survivors who is a professor at Harvard and a fierce supporter of Hamas, as well as Richard Norton, who has called on the U.S. to recognize Hizbullah.
