Law Professor's Intifada

George Bisharat is a law professor at the University of California's Hastings Law School. Bisharat has been at the forefront of the efforts to implement an economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. Bisharat also is leading the charge to have Israelis charged with war crimes over the recent Gaza invasion.

In the New York Times, Bisharat got to repeat his charges in an article titled Israel on Trial. In the piece, Bisharat uses the disputed accounts of atrocities by Israeli soldiers, which have been revealed to be based on rumors, to argue that Israel committed war crimes.
