| You will be interested in learning that Tel Aviv University now offers a course in one-sided, far-leftist Israel-bashing indoctrination, dressed up as a course in psychology. The course is entitled "The Psychology of the Occupation", course number 1071.3627.01, and is an on-campus political indoctrination. It is open to senior-year undergraduates in psychology and has been approved by the university authorities as a bona fide course. The "course" purports to teach its students about the horrendous psychological damage done to Palestinians (and also to Israelis themselves) from Israel's long "occupation" of the "Palestinian territories". It examines the attitude of the "conquerors" to the "Other", analyzes "dialogues" between the conquerors and the conquered (the mandatory terms used in the course) and attitudes towards "suffering" (of Palestinian only, of course). Nothing in the course will examine the psychological damage done to Israelis by the endless mass atrocities of Palestinians, from a century of Arab aggression and war, from genocidal denunciations of Jews by Palestinian leaders, from suicide bombings, from plane hijackings, nor from firing of rockets, missiles, mortars and machine guns into the homes of Jews. Nothing will examine the trauma of New Yorkers on 9/11 either. The course will be taught by one Uri Hadar, a far-leftist who is a regular signer of anti-Israel petitions, including one calling for international intervention to end Israeli sovereignty, as well as that notorious one informing the world that Israel was planning to commit nazi-like atrocities the moment the first American GI took a step inside Iraq. (Iraq was liberated long ago, yet not a tinkle of an apology from the learned professor.) Hadar is also a supporter and fan of the jailed Jewish leftist terrorist Tali Fahima, now on trial for assisting her Jenin terrorist "lover" to plan mass murders of Jews. He has also called for a "complete commercial and economic boycott" of Israel by the world. He has called for the Palestinians to be granted an unlimited "right or return", so that, even after getting their own state, the Palestinians can destroy Israel. He is a regular contributor to anti-Israel and communist party magazines and journals. Another psychology course that has been taught in the same department is devoted to suicide bombings, course number 1071.4661, taught by Prof. Ariel Marari. The department chairman in psychology is Prof. Amiram Raviv, a guru of "peace education", which is often nothing more than leftist indoctrination. He believes the Arab-Israeli conflict may be resolved through sufficient doses of psychobabble. To tell the president of Tel Aviv University what you think of these courses, call Prof. Itamar Rabinovich at +972-3-6412449 or fax +972-4-6422379, and email itamarr@tauex.tau.ac.il. His executive staff assistant is at ilondon@post.tau.ac.il. Better yet, contact the donors and supporters of Tel Aviv University, whose addresses and locations appear at http://www.tau.ac.il/friends-eng.html.
