That brings me to her second point. professor Beit-Hallahmi of Haifa University in Israel is not, she asserts, an expert in the field of Israel's military connections with South Africa because he is a psychologist--no matter that he has been doing research into this area for twelve years. Would she prefer the expertise of the CIA? If so, let me refer her to the "NBC Nightly News" for October 25 through 27--which, incidentally, deemed Professor Beit-Hallahmi sufficiently expert to invite his comments...
...quick background check on a few of the key speakers proves this. The keynote address, for example, is to be delivered by Benjamin Beit Hallahmi of Haifa University. His area of expertise is not political science or history, but psychology.

At the time, Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir vowed, "Our hand will bring to justice those...
That planned voyage, called el awda (the return), was supposed to recall the experience of Jewish Holocaust survivors who sought to enter the port of Haifa in British-controlled Palestine aboard the refugee ship Exodus in 1947. The P.L.O. effort, several weeks in the planning, was basically a theatrical gesture. But it promised to be an effective public relations ploy and infuriated the Israelis, who vowed to prevent the ship's arrival in Haifa. About 18 hours after the killing of the Fatah trio, a magnetic mine attached below the waterline of the Sol Phryne exploded, causing no injuries...
