Nkomo's excuse last week was similar. He acknowledged that "if the plane was fired on, it can only have been our chaps." Alas, he said...
Arab students in Israeli universities, calling themselves the Progressive Nationalist Movement, last month published a statement in favor of the Palestine Liberation Organization and against the "Zionist entity." At Haifa University, firebrand American Rabbi Meir Kahane called the Israeli Arabs "a time bomb in the Jewish state." Right-wing Jewish students then circulated petitions demanding the expulsion of all Arabs from Israeli universities...
