While climate change may be a hoax, anti-semitism is alive and well. Even, or more appropriately, especially on college campuses throughout the US. Case in point the latest event at NYU. A student organized an event about climate change, only fool school officials and start marketing an event about Israeli apartheid against the poor Palestinian people.

According to Ynet: “An anti-Israel student event was planned, and then canceled Monday, at New York University (NYU). The student, who has asked to hold an event unrelated to Israel, was actually planning an event to explore Israeli “brutality” against the Palestinians.

After receiving permission to host an event at NYU on May 4, based on a proposal for a forum on climate change, the student responsible then hung flyers for a conference on “The Hidden History of Zionism: The Road to Gaza’s Killing Fields,” to be hosted by the International Socialist Organization, an anti-war Marxist group.

“The recent assault on Gaza by the Israeli military and the continuing economic blockade of the region has shocked millions of people around the world,” read the flyer, which featured a picture of a bloody Gazan child from Israel’s Operation Cast Lead against Hamas.”

I guess that climate change and ‘Israeli apartheid against Palestinians’ are similar; neither is based on much of anything factual.
