Pappefying the truth

Remember professor Ilan Pappe, the deft revisionist of history? The one who until 2007 was creating a scandal after scandal in University of Heifa and then left, thank goodness, to fertilize the green lawns of University of Exeter?

Well, this is one leopard that will never change his shorts. His exquisite ability to lie in the face of incontrovertible proof is still his main asset. As is very well demonstrated by Marc Goldberg in his excellent post In Response to Ilan Pappe. Enjoy.

Oh, and if you happen to encounter this man:

don't take any nickels from him. They are proved to be wooden.

As for University of Exeter: no return of damaged goods after all these years. Finders keepers, in other words.

Let's start a facebook "Boycott Damaged Israeli Academics" campaign. Kind of "Academic Spring", desperately needed by Great Britain's higher education system.

Boycott? The opposite: protect and cuddle. They need to live a long time as examples. Niv Gordon is next. Interesting which British university will do the honors...

My bet on the LSE. After the sad fate of one of their distiguished doctors they need some manpower refreshmant.

Your typical bookstore in a shopping mall seems to always stock Pappe's The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine these days. Pretty sick.

Well, so is the world these days...
