Talk about picking your poison. The Olive Tree Initiative of UCLA will be holding a debate on what to do about Israel between two Islamists who both want the Jewish state to disappear. (Hat tip to Jihad Watch)

Reza Aslan is the arrogant young  Iranian-American activist who acted as moderator in last year's propaganda play at UCLA with Ground Zero mosque organizer Faisal Abdul Rauf.

This coming event is further evidence that the OTI is a fig leaf posing as a neutral effort to expose students to both sides of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. So what do they do here? They drag in two pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel activists to hold a "debate".  And they call this academic discourse.
