Palestine Awareness Week (famously known as “Israel Apartheid Week” here at UCSD) at San Diego State University has commenced. This event will take place from March 1st-11th, 2011.
That means more anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and anti-American sentiment on this college campus and others nationwide.

If you are tired of this bias and anti-Israel sentiment on campus, contact the David Horowitz Freedom Center and your local AIPAC/StandWithUs/pro-Israel group to learn how to properly combat this.
Palestine Awareness Week Commences at SDSU « All-American Girl for the Restoration of Values.
Miko Peled is a fraud. He claims to be a “peace activist”, but what he deserves to be called instead is “hate activist”. His presentations are always the same: his daddy was a famous Israeli general, a hawk in 1967 turned peacenik later, he is himself an Israeli-American who lives in San Diego, California, and he hates Israel, advocating the one-State solution because he doesn’t believe the two-State solution is viable any more. On this latter point, he is correct, but he doesn’t say why. Of course he blames Israel, when in fact the Palestinians are the ones to blame for the sorry condition they’re in, including the fact that they’ve been too busy practicing terrorism and nurturing their despicable culture of hate to do the hard work of building their own nation. Typically in this last lecture, that was supposed to be on “Exposing AIPAC: Undoing the Zionist Myth”, he hardly said a word about AIPAC!
