A Haaretz reporter was ejected from a pro-Palestinian conference at Birzeit University on Saturday, reporter Amira Hass said—simply for being an Israeli Jew.

Hass attempted to attend the “Alternatives to Neo-Liberal Development in the Occupied Palestinian Territories—Critical Perspectives” conference at the university, which is located near Ramallah where she lives.

But she was ejected from the hall by the organizers, Hass claimed, after students at the admission desk noted she worked for the Israeli publication and alerted security authorities to intervene.

Birzeit University has had a policy of barring Israeli Jews from the campus for over 20 years, administrators said, and ejected her for fear that she would be attacked by an unruly mob of students. …

The two word answer says it all to David Horowitz’s question says it all.

Take a look at Amira Hass’ own words on the incident. It’s OK for the “Palestinians” to have a “safe spot” that excludes Israelis (Jews), but leftists like her ought to be excluded from that simply because of her political beliefs, according to her. The ultimate in self-hatred.

Not all, no. In Hass’ case, it does fit in a certain way.

They’re completely beyond any hope of living civilized lives. They either move out of Israel ( and USA and Europe) - go back to their Muslim home countries- or else they’ll eventually get themselves killed trying to squawt on, and take over, everybody else’s countries.

Amira Hass is the red nosed betrayer of her people. Self haters such as her and that comedian Jon Leibowitz will never realize that the antisemites hate them, too. Jon Leibowitz and Amira Hass will not realize it even as the knife is sawed against their throat; see James Sotloff.

Betray your own people and still get no gratitude from their enemies: "Hass [...] is well-known in Arab and leftist circles for her aggressive anti-Zionism, and provoked outrage last year for justifying rock-throwing attacks against Jews".

She is just lucky she made it back safely to tell the tale.

Correct, and here is the article where she does that.

She just got a taste of what “anti-Zionism” really means and still keeps up the self-hatred.
