Qaradawi’s banned from entering Britain and France, and is sometimes referred to as the Khomeini of Egypt.

Anybody interviewed by the media should say somewhere: the Arabs promised war since they broke UN 181 in 1947 have waged war since they broke UN charter obligations in 1948 and rejected peace since 1949.
In interviews about the Intifadas comment that the Arabs repeatedly break the UN Convention on the Rights of Childen by putting their own under 15′s on the riot and battleground.
If any Arab in a media interview goes on about ” imperialism” remind then between Rome and the Spanish and British, the imperialists were the Arabs across the Levant and North Africa to Spain; and the Moslems in general – Turks attacking Vienna twice and Mughals mis-ruling India.

Mazeltov to Penelope Ur for being awarded an OBE – not just a feather in her morter board but one that boosts the morale of Jews all over Israel, Britain and every other country wishing to give a finger to the Palestinians. What have they ever achieved of consequence? their organisation the BDS, great – “boycot, divestments and sanctions!” – well the only boycot they should consider is divestments of their shmuttas, then perhaps everyone can see how weak and vulnerable they truly are without their face covering, burkas and concealment behind a gun! – because this is all they have offered the world, hated, torture, vindictiveness and violence, not a good portfolio for candidate of an OBE!

My understanding is that it is not only the British who object to the upgrading of Ariel to a university, but that the heads of 18 institutions of higher education in Israel have also protested the upgrade.
