===Ilan Pappé===
Anti-Israel [[BDS]] pusher Ilan Pappe, belittled the Holocaust in 1993.<ref>The "New" Jewish Time. Jerusalem: Lamda (Assoc. for Modern Jewish Culture), 2007, [https://kotar.cet.ac.il/kotarapp/index/Page.aspx?nBookID=69569485&nTocEntryID=69910584&nPageID=69764586 305].
<blockquote>
Ilan Pappe links in one breath the Holocaust denial with what he calls the "Nakba [sic] denial" (interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, August 27, 1993). He goes so far as to claim that the Palestinians, like the Jews, are victims of the H... in Europe. His supposedly egalitarian attitude demeans the Holocaust by comparing it to a handful of atrocities committed by both sides during and after the mutual fighting in Palestine in 1948, and thus is very close to Holocaust denial ...
The suffering of an individual is suffering in any situation and in any place, but it has no resemblance to the Holocaust or a contribution to its understanding. The Holocaust was not only the suffering of individuals (others also suffered and suffer in wars and persecutions) but mainly the destruction of culture and an attempt to completely destroy a people after being denounced and taken out of the human race - and there is no parallel and precedent.</blockquote></ref>
It appears, his dangerous envisioned end game for Israel is elimination. <ref>The Nation, Issues 159-161, Israel: Nation & Society, 2005. [https://books.google.com/books?&id=pmzYJ0L8Zj4C&dq=%D7%A0%D7%90%D7%A6%D7%99+%D7%A4%D7%9C%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%9F&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=1933p. 25].
<blockquote>
The goal of Dr. Ilan Pappe's work is to turn Israel into a "leper state", that is, a country to which the wider world will impose an economic, cultural, and perhaps even political-security boycott, similar to what was done to South Africa in the "apartheid" era. As such, he has publicly stated, Israel will not be able to withstand Arab terrorism when its hands are tied due to the international boycott and the threat of sanctions by the Security Committee, so Israel will have to succumb to Arab demands and agree to the 1948 refugee return to Israel.
Dr. Pappe is well aware that achieving this goal will lead to the destruction of all the life systems of the State of Israel, the evacuation of millions of Israelis from their homes, the expropriation of property on a huge scale and the creation of a new political regime, based on an Arab majority The State of Israel as the pinnacle of the resurrection enterprise of the Jewish people will be eliminated and with it an end will finally be put in place! And if anyone thinks for a moment that these were hollow statements, the thinker will remember that the Palestinian Arabs were headed by a Nazi leader, al-Haj Amin al-Husseini, who came as early as 1933, immediately after the appointment of Adolf Hitler as German Chancellor. To the German Consul in Jerusalem, Wolf, congratulated him on this appointment and expressed his hope that the Nazi regime would spread throughout the world ...</blockquote></ref>
Even at radical lefty Haaretz, he was exposed. As per Pappe's own words (Haaretz, 27.4.2005), behind the boycott group ideological motives, or at least of those who lead it proudly, hides a tone of extortion towards academia.
<ref>Avirama Golan, 'Boycott by invitation,' Haaretz, Apr 28, 2005.<blockquote>
The Israelis should be interested in another group. The one that aroused and provoked the boycott from the Israeli academy and managed to create the impression that it was a clear ideological boycott and a pure struggle against the occupation. A study of what Pappe himself says (Haaretz, 27.4) reinforces the fear that behind the group's ideological motives, or at least of those who lead it proudly, hides a tone of extortion towards academia. "The union's decision can be easily reversed," Pepe said, "to give Teddy Katz back the title that was illegally stolen from him, and everything will be forgotten."...
One can also guess that the ideology of socio-cultural privatization, which dismantled Israeli society, and even more so the left, from the exclusive ethos, made them superfluous. Some understood the change. Others got stuck.
The Stuck tried to force the academy and the left to accept their one-valued version. Since they failed to do so, and even the whitest pigeons did not respond, they turned to the old Jewish system: calling the Gentiles. And why now? Because any chance of ending the conflict is bad news for them. If the occupation ends, what will be their excuse then?</blockquote></ref>
He bases his twisted theories purely on "Palestinian" propaganda "sources." He admitted in 1999:<ref>

<blockquote>
Some of Israel's biggest slanderers are Israelis themselves. Israeli anti-Israel and anti-Zionist academics are accepted as heroes among elements who hate Israel who constitute the oil on the wheels of the anti-Israel hate and propaganda train. Prof. Ilan Pepe is without a doubt one of the leaders.
The inspiration and motive behind the proposal for an academic boycott of Israeli institutions is a full professor at the University of Haifa who seems to be the opposite of anything intelligent. Ilan Pepe is a native of Israel, a professor of political science and a historian who is at the center of the efforts of the British University Lecturers' Association, which has about 40,000 members, to boycott Israeli universities. As an activist in Israel's Communist Marginal Party, he is the most radical of the historians trying to rewrite the history of the country in order to present Israel as a country born of crime.
Pappe has long admitted that he is not objective and that his eyes are not subject to factual accuracy. He is willing to admit that his historical articles and statements are driven by the power of ideology, and it is a very simple ideology: Israel has no right to exist, and the international community must impose sanctions on it until its Jewish character disappears.
Pappe expresses his opinion on historical inquiry and academic objectivity:
'There is no objective historian in the world. I care less about what happened from the way people see it.' ("Interview with Ilan Pepe," Baudouin Loos. Brussels, 29 November 1999).
'I admit that my ideology influences my historical articles.' (same as above)
'The struggle is based on ideology and not on facts. Who knows what facts are? We try to convince as many people as possible that our interpretation of the facts is the correct interpretation, and we do it because we are ideologues and not truth-seekers.' (same as above)
The debate between us is on one level between hysterics who believe they are completely objective in rebuilding the past, like [my] Morris, and between people like me, who claim to be subjective people trying to tell their version of the past. ("Benny Morris 'Lies About My Book," Ilan Pappe's Response to Morris' Review of Pappe's Book, "History of Palestine" in the New Republic, March 22, 2004, Historical News Network, April 5, 2004)
[Historical] narratives, written by historians who are deeply immersed in the subject they are writing about - like Israeli historians writing about the conflict with the Palestinians - also prevent serious involvement in the subject and a desire to emphasize a point. This point is called ideology or politics. (same as above)
'Yes, I use Palestinian sources on the subject of the Intifada. They seem more reliable to me, I admit.' (same as above)
Pappe bases his accusations against Israel not on proven facts, but on a Palestinian narrative. He freely distorts the truth so that it "aligns" with his ideology, thus testifying to massacres that the IDF allegedly committed, while such acts never took place. The information, and it continues to spread the lie that Israel committed a massacre in Jenin in 2002 despite much evidence (including a UN report) proving that this claim is false. As in the story of Tantura, he suggests that there is a conspiracy to cover up the "massacre" in Jenin:
More than a year has passed since the IDF invaded the Jenin refugee camp, demolishing houses, killing many of its residents and committing one of the most horrific war crimes in the current intifada, the al-Aqsa Intifada. With the help of the United States, to hide from the world the atrocities that took place in Jenin, and even worse, he also managed to intimidate anyone who dares to tell the truth about what happened there. As can be seen from this book [of Palestinian testimonies], Jenin was not just a massacre, it was an inhuman act of unbelievable barbarism. " Book Review by Ilan Pappe, Counterpunch, May 3, 2003)
Pappe is also trying to spread his distorted message among the international community, through books, articles, speeches, ideas, and letters. His deceptions are so exaggerated and uninformed that even Benny Morris, who himself is considered a "new historian" and accused of distorting the facts to fit them with his theory of the birth of the State of Israel, distinguished himself from Papa. Morris criticized Pepe's 2004 book, The History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples over the Pages of the New Republic. Morris' article, entitled "Ilan Pepe's new book is shocking," highlights the problem:
Pappe is a proud postmodernist. He believes that there is no historical truth, but only a collection of many narratives as the number of participants in each event or process; And every point of view or narrative is matter-of-fact, legitimate and true.
About the book Morris writes:
'Unfortunately, much of what Pappe is trying to sell to his readers is completely fake.
According to Pappe, the Palestinians who attacked the Zionist initiative frequently should not be blamed […] The Palestinians are always the victims, and the Zionists are always the "brutal settlers".
The multiplicity of errors on each and every page is a product of Papa's working methods, as well as of his political leanings.
For those fascinated by subjectivity and captivating historical relativity, fact is not a fact, and accuracy is not achievable. Why grope for the truth? The narrative is everything. It will come as no surprise to any reader to find out that according to Pappe…' [here Morris provides a partial list of Pappe's many lies].
Anyone interested in the true history of Israel / Palestine and the conflict between them would do well to run in the opposite direction soon.
The fact that there are people in the world who eagerly embrace Pappe and his claims, even though he himself admits that facts are irrelevant, indicates that the truth will not stop the opponents of the Jewish state.
Even more disturbing is that the Haaretz newspaper, whose English-language edition.., published a long article on Pepe and gave him a platform to present his distorted claims about the academic boycott. The article, by Miron Rapaport, was published on May 6, 2005 under the heading "Assigned," and presents Pappe as a victim:
'At least a dozen threats on his life are recorded on the electronic answering machine ... Pappe was not a popular member of the faculty of the University of Haifa even before the decision, and now even less. The president of the university, Prof. Aharon Ben Zeev, calls on him to leave the university and "implement the boycott himself" that he is behind. Lecturers in the faculty are organizing to boycott him in the corridors, not to talk to him ... Off campus there was someone who described Pepe as a real traitor, the enemy of the public…'
The story of the boycott, the debate over the allegations of a Tantura massacre and its consequences are presented mainly from Pappe's point of "view". Although his opponents' claims are mentioned in the article, he is mostly based on a personal interview with Pepe, and Rapaport allows him to describe his position at length. He asks soft questions and barely challenges Papa. (For example, Pappe was asked: What is the essence of [the conflict] in your eyes?
No wonder the article appears on dozens of pro-Palestinian websites that support the academic boycott, and like Pappe, they also support the removal of the Jewish state.</blockquote></font></ref>

At best, Ilan Pappe must be one of the world’s sloppiest historians; at worst, one of the most dishonest. In truth, he probably merits a place somewhere between the two.
Here is a clear and typical example—in detail, which is where the devil resides—of Pappe’s handiwork. I take this example from The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. On February 2, 1948, a young Jewish scientist named Aharon...</blockquote></ref>
He has a record of making inflammatory statements including against fighting Anti-semitism.<ref>[https://antisemitism.org/caa-urges-birkbeck-university-to-stop-ilan-pappe-lecture-on-why-anti-zionism-is-not-antisemitism/ CAA urges Birkbeck University to stop Ilan Pappé lecture on why anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism], Anti- Semitism.org, Nov 13, 2019.
<blockquote>
Ilan Pappe has made several inflammatory comments, claiming accusations of antisemitism have been used “to stifle debate on Palestine” and to “depose” politicians supportive of Palestine as well as ridiculing concerns that the Labour Party has a problem with institutional antisemitism. He has also said that Jeremy Corbyn should not “be afraid” after laying a wreath at the grave of the Black September terrorists who tortured and murdered Israeli Olympians, saying: “as an Israeli Jew I was there [at the same graveyard]…and I paid respect for the freedom fighters of Palestine.”
He also defended Chris Williamson’s claim that the Labour Party is “too apologetic” about antisemitism, arguing that “you can’t satisfy these beasts.”
Mr Pappe has also defended Jeremy Corbyn’s connection to Holocaust denier Paul Eisen and other antisemites as well as his links to terror groups.
Many of these comments have come while delivering speeches of the same title at previous events, making it likely that they could be repeated this weekend.
To add insult to injury, the event attempting to whitewash antisemitism is set to take place on a Saturday, the Jewish sabbath. This severely limits the Jewish community’s ability to participate in an event designed to define their own oppression. The SWP has form on this front, having previously been involved in an event featuring the antisemitism-denial group and sham Jewish representative organisation, Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL), hosted by their front organisation Stand Up to Racism on the holiest night of the Jewish calendar, Kol Nidrei, the night of Yom Kippur.
Birkbeck has previously come under scrutiny over an antisemitic demonstrator at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, who was filmed claiming that the Holocaust happened because Jews are “cowards”. He was later reportedly sighted being escorted off campus by security staff at Birkbeck, University of London. The man had been filmed by students and a member of Campaign Against Antisemitism’s Demonstration and Event Monitoring Unit at a demonstration at SOAS.
Campaign Against Antisemitism will be approaching Birkbeck to urge the university to reconsider this event and its overtly inflammatory speaker.</blockquote></ref>
