Academic studies from various disciplines tackle issues related to Israel. I will critically and fairly examine published articles that find their way to my screen.
What can I say! It looks like every topic of scholastic endeavour can be used to vilify Israel. Who cares if the work makes sense? The main thing is to make Israel look bad. How can you make something normal into something pathological? Easy. Watch! The paper is called “The Changing of Arabic Terminology in…

Everyone wants to be a hero and solve the “Israeli-Palestinian Conflict”. What do you get when an American army officer writes a semi-academic paper recommending strategy for continuing the training of the Palestinian Security Forces thinking that will solve the problem? Let me show you what you get. As part of the US Army War…

An academic make-believe story for the gullible scholar. The paper I am looking at right now, written by the late Australian anthropologist Patrick Wolfe, was published in 2006 and has been cited in 1132 other articles by the time of writing this critique. That is a very large number of citations. What this means is…
Without them, our whole “settler-colonial” society would collapse from within, according to a world renowned scholar. Patrick Wolfe (1949-2016) was an Australian anthropologist; he seems to be one of the founders of colonialism studies. It is him we have to thank for having popularized the preposterous idea that Israel is a European settler-colonial project, one…
And here is proof from our very own Hebrew University of Jerusalem! Two scholars at the Hebrew U. got together to write an article about how Israel commits child abuse toward the Palestinian Arab children living under what they call the “settler-colonial regime”. This article is nothing more than a vehicle for promoting anti-Israel propaganda…
This is about antisemitism and mind games and colonizers and the colonized. The inspiration leading to my reflections here was found in a relatively recent article published in the prestigious British Journal of Criminology. The authors of this article are relentless in their vilification of Israel. I will soon provide my readers with a detailed…
Seems we Israelis, or some of us, may have been nostalgic for the British Mandate period for — well, for ever-since-the-Brits-got-on-their-boats-and-shipped-back-to-the-UK. Professor Eitan Bar-Yosef of Ben Gurion University says we have missed them in two different ways; neither of these are very complimentary to us, but not in a mean way. In any case, I…
Rasmea Odeh is unfairly maligned, according to a paper showcased on Reed College’s online journal. Fake academia at its best! This critique was prepared in honour of Odeh’s deportation from the USA scheduled for tomorrow (19 September 2017). Providing an outlet for publishing student papers is a wonderful apprenticeship for budding academics. Misused, however, it…
