A few weeks after the Sbarro terror attack, the students at Hamas hotbed Al Najah University prepared a sick tribute to the attack.
According to reports in the Israeli media and The Associated Press, the exhibition was comprised of a series of rooms. The Sbarro section of the exhibit was replete with body parts and pizza slices strewn across the room. The walls were painted red to represent spattered blood.
Another part of the exhibit glorified the “martyrs” who carry out suicide operations shown with a Koran and Kalishnikov in hand. A third section depicted a Palestinian behind a rock placed in front of a mannequin of an ultra-Orthodox Jew, with a taped recording broadcast on the loudspeakers saying “O believer, there is a Jewish man behind me. Come and kill him.”
An administrator at the University dismissed any concerns:
Ahmed: No no. I didn’t see the exhibition by the way. But as I told you,
the students held so many activities. Not just academic but social as well.
Not just political. For example playing sports.
Got that? Glorifying terror is like playing sports.
In such a culture is it any surprise that there’s a new Hezbollah museum?
The museum will open to the public from May 25, the anniversary of the Israeli pullout, which is this year being marked as a national holiday.
Hezbollah has also been organising “jihadist tours,” in which 500 young men and women were taken on a field trip to witness what the Iran-backed group called the “achievements of the resistance” against Israel.
Dozens of anti-tank and Katyusha rockets, Iran-built “Raad 1” missiles, mortars and rocket launchers are on display in the complex that encompasses a mountain cave, wooded grounds and a newly built gallery.
Israeli Merkava tanks are also on display.
Several Hezbollah fighters were killed in Israeli raids while digging the caves to hide weapons, according to guide Mohammad Sayyed.
And guess who backs this effort? Aussie Dave tells us:
That’s the same Noam Chomsky who Israel recently banned from entering Israel, a decision that was greatly criticized at the time. Yet now he is seen visiting and lending support to a terrorist organization bent on destroying Israel (like colleagues of his).
Why is there any doubt about the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism? Why do people think that the Middle East is just one more Israeli concession away from peace when such vile hatred is so accepted?

As a goodwill gesture when the Israelis left Gaza they left a set of expensive and up to date greenhouses to be used to help develop a horticulture industry. They were all smashed beyond repair within twenty-four hours of Israeli withdrawal.
Christopher Hitchens, no friend of Israel, had an article during Operation Cast Lead titled, “Gaza Could Have Been the Palestinian State.” On the contrary, was is the Palestinian state and that’s why the Israelis are not rushing into similar withdrawals.
