You need no better example of how twisted parts of academia have become than to look at an anti-Israeli conference being organized at The City University of New York devoted to the issue of “homonationalism and pinkwashing.”
I have posted before about the “pinkwashing” charge leveled by anti-Israel gay activists.
Israel, the only country in the Middle East with a humane record on treatment of gays, is singled out for scorn by anti-Israel gay activists who fear that giving Israel credit on gay rights may take away from the war on Israel launched by groups and countries openly hostile to gays.
The pinkwashing charge rightly is described as part of an attempt to exterminate any semblance of Israeli legitimacy:
Anything that could blunt the demonization of the Jewish state is by definition as evil as the Jewish state itself is.
