...dispossession of Palestinian Arabs from Israel next week. While the Palestinian refugee crisis is a tragedy in its own right, the committee has chosen to commemorate the dispossession of approximately 750,000 Palestinian Arabs by adopting the reckless, revisionist history of Israeli historian Ilan Pappé, an apologist for terror (he once stated, “I support Hamas in its resistance against the Israeli occupation though I disagree with their political ideology”) who directed the effort by the Association of University Teachers to boycott Haifa and Bar-Ilan universities.

The latter, focusing on a white-shirted guerrilla with his arms stretched out in terror before a firing squad of French soldiers, is a classic of anti-war iconography, often interpreted as a 19th century take on the biblical theme of the slaughter of the innocents. The painting has been displayed before alongside The Second of May, a depiction of the previous day's battle, in which Spanish militias viciously attacked Napoleon's Mameluke soldiers...
