The University of California in Berkeley has brought back a student-led course on "Palestinian history" that had been condemned as anti-Zionist and biased against the state of Israel. The course, worth one academic credit, advocates a "decolonial alternative" for the region and had previously been suspended because of the blatantly political agenda. The Times of Israel reports: The University of California, Berkeley, reinstated a student-led course, "Palestine: A Settler Colonial Analysis," a week after it suspended the program following an outcry from Jewish community leaders who called it biased, anti-Zionist and in violation of the university's academic standards. The suspension was lifted on Monday the Middle East Eye reported. Paul Hadweh, the UC Berkeley undergraduate student who facilitates the course, said he expects an apology from Carla Hesse — the dean of the College of Letters who initially suspended the course — and Science and UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks. "The university threw me under the bus, and publicly blamed me, without ever even contacting me," Hadweh said in a statement. "It seems that because I'm Palestinian studying Palestine, I'm guilty until proven innocent. To defend the course, we had to mobilize an international outcry of scholars and students to stand up for academic freedom. This never should have happened."
