It is already known that certain people see themselves as ethically and morally superior when they spread hate against Israel. Even more considerable is when this hate, masked as Antizionism, is taught as “science” in universities, such schooling is presently being carried out in the Arab-Muslim propaganda seminar called “Morals and Ethics in Groups” at the University of Zurich. The “learning activity” is being held by the Green politician Bettina Ryf (photo).

The independent Zurich campus blog reports:

One wouldn’t presume much malice behind the activity, “Morals and Ethics in Groups,” being carried out by the Psychological Instute of the University of Zurich. The docent Bettina Ryf, by means of the Mideast conflict, sets her aim on dealing with the subject. …

A compilation of articles from a German-Palestinian women’s association, a lobbying organization tha advocates national Arab-Muslim interests, serve as an introduction to the subject. We can’t deal with all the details of this propaganda work here. A few examples, however, should be enough:

“In its course (Israeli War for Independence 1947/48), the paramilitary Israeli units secured their own territory and large parts of the areas promised by the UN to the Arab state. Thus the intrusion of the Arab states the day after the founding of the State changed nothing. After its consolidation, the Jewish State eventually comprised 78% of the Palestinian region instead of the 56% called for by the UN Partition Resolution.”

As a whole, it needs to be said of this document, that it uses no scientific criteria and also doesn’t claim to be neutral: massacres and acts of violence against Jews before the founding of the State remain unmentioned, as also the more than one million Jewish refugees that have been driven from Arab lands and Iran. Most apparently, the document deals with cementing the the not so accurate fables from the rolls of Arab victims. Bettina Ryf is visibly attempting to spread this very lie of Arab-Muslim nationalism among her students. Is this really the level that can be expected from the University of Zurich?

Hardly! Even though the unfoundable horror stories about the Jews Israel have become socially acceptable again, they should not be allowed to be propagated as “science” among students.
