Noura Erakat, Israel’s Smiling Enemy, Speaks at Berkeley

Noura Erakat

George Mason University professor Noura Erakat is a rising player in the Israel-hating business. Young and bright, Erakat seeks to undermine and destroy the Jewish state with a smile. In an article for Campus Watch that appears at the Algemeiner, Michael Lumish covers Erakat’s canard-filled UC Berkeley lecture on the Six Day War:

Approximately 50 people attended Erakat’s keynote address at the recent UC-Berkeley conference on the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War — “6 Days, 50 Years: 1967 and the Politics of Time.” The conference was part of a larger University of California project.

. . . In her talk, Erakat raised such leading questions as, “How has an exorbitant register of death and destruction as experienced in the Gaza Strip during Israel’s most recent military offensives become tolerable in the language of law?” and, “How has the Palestinian use of force been delegitimized to the point of extinguishing armed resistance by criminalizing all of it?”
