MSU quietly posts announcement for their upcoming 2008 Anti-Zionism Week

Hat Tip: Reut R Cohen

Strangely, the MSU isn't touting their events too highly on their website. It's a tiny little link in the upper left hand corner of their website. Are they afraid of something?

Here's the text on the back:

May 14th, 2008 marks 60 years since the beginning of the Palestinian tragedy, commonly referred to by Palestinians as the Nakba (Catastrophe). 60 years of dispossession, statelessness, and ethnic cleansing have created the largest group of refugees in the world; has left thousands of innocent men, women and children dead; and has shattered the livelihood of millions of people facing the scourge of the longest, most brutal occupation in modern history. This week, we will tell their story, we will mourn their suffering, and we will honor their resistance. This week, we will stand with them.
