Ukrainian university asks UN to 'close' Israel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vladimir Matveyev / JTA, THE JERUSALEM POST Dec. 7, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iran's president, who wants to see a world without Israel, has a
vociferous ally in Ukraine.
A Kiev-based university that already has gained international notoriety
for its anti-Zionist propaganda and anti-Semitic publications now wants
the United Nations to "close" Israel.
The call came in November from the Interregional Academy for Personnel
Management, known by its Russian acronym MAUP, whose leadership said
the United Nations should revoke its 1947 resolution on the creation of
a Jewish state.
"Mankind lived without the State of Israel exactly 2,670 years, but
after the second of its creation all the world feels a constant
aggression of the old 'sons of the devil,' " according to a university
statement, published last month in the school newspaper, supporting
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent call to destroy Israel.
MAUP in recent months has become a major purveyor of anti-Semitism in
Ukraine. But the silence until recently of Ukrainian authorities - many
of whom have ties to the university - has led to criticism from the
local Jewish community, international Jewish organizations and Israeli
officials.
Critics say the issue could seriously compromise Ukraine's hard-earned
reputation as a new democracy seeking full acceptance by the
international community, including the European Union and NATO.
Stung by growing criticism, Ukrainian officials may finally be taking
the issue seriously. President Viktor Yuschenko this week urged his
country's elites to condemn anti-Semitism and xenophobia.
"There can be no ethnicity issue in a European country," Yuschenko was
quoted as saying Monday by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency. In his
remarks, directed toward artists, journalists and academics, Yuschenko
specifically condemned MAUP for the first time.
The anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism of MAUP's leaders run against
Ukraine's official policy line, but the school appears to have close
ties to leading policymakers, including Foreign Minister Boris
Tarasyuk, an expert on Arab countries who only recently gave up his job
at MAUP, reportedly under pressure from Yuschenko.
Many of Ukraine's top politicians - including Yuschenko, Tarasyuk,
former president Leonid Kravchuk and several members of Parliament -
have received honorary degrees or titles from MAUP. Many lesser-known
politicians and bureaucrats also call MAUP their alma mater.
These leaders find themselves in good company: The school has bestowed
honorary titles and degrees on some internationally renowned
hate-mongers, including US white supremacist David Duke, who has a
doctorate in history from MAUP and has participated in a number of
MAUP-organized anti-Zionist conferences in Kiev.
Zoya Borisova, head of the school's Department of Russian and Ukrainian
as Foreign Languages, dismissed accusations of anti-Semitism.
"This is a fight against Zionism, but not against Jews," she said.
MAUP is the country's largest private university. With a dozen branches
throughout Ukraine, MAUP has about 35,000 students, including hundreds
of foreigners, mostly from Arab and developing countries.
The university offers degrees in law, economics, business
administration, accounting, political science, practical medicine and
psychology and claims to have a network of alumni and supporters in 60
countries.
Formerly a state-owned college system that offered post-graduate
education for the public sector, MAUP went private after the fall of
communism in 1991.
"MAUP was created by prominent representatives of the Ukrainian ruling
elite," said Josef Zissels, leader of the Ukrainian Va'ad, a leading
Jewish group, and one of MAUP's most vocal critics.
Such influence over government disturbs Ukrainian Jews, especially when
the school's name has become synonymous with Ukrainian anti-Semitism
today.
The school has found itself in hot water in recent weeks, but its
leaders appear unrepentant. Neighboring Poland said it may not
recognize MAUP degrees because of the school's controversial stand on
international issues. The Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Simon
Wiesenthal Center have urged Ukraine to open a probe into the school's
anti-Semitic activities.
Yet the criticism seems to have had little effect on the school and its
president, Georgy Schokin. Schokin earlier this year founded a
political party, the Conservative Party of Ukraine, that's preparing
for parliamentary elections in the spring.
Besides his friendship with figures such as Duke, Schokin and his
school are said to maintain close ties to a number of Muslim countries,
particularly Saudi Arabia and Iran. According to some press reports, a
substantial portion of the school's funding comes from these two
countries, as well as a number of public groups in the Arab world.
University officials would not confirm these reports, but said the
school did have good ties with the Arab world.
In fact, the school's reputation is precisely what appeals to some of
MAUP's foreign students. In an interview with JTA, a first-year student
from Iran acknowledged that it was the university's anti-Zionism that
attracted her and many Arab students.
The student, who gave her name as Ilda, said she had wanted to study
medicine in Ukraine but instead studied Russian at MAUP because the
school "struggles against the evil of world Zionism."
Other students who don't agree seem afraid to speak openly about the
situation.
Liana Musatova, who graduated from MAUP last year with a master's
degree in political science, said the school is permeated with the
political views of its leadership, which she said could be "dangerous
for the students."
Like other current and former students, Musatova receives a free copy
of MAUP's newspaper, Personal Plus. Almost every issue of the newspaper
carries anti-Semitic and anti-Israel articles.
According to Zissels, 70 percent of all anti-Semitic publications today
in Ukraine are published by MAUP, including "Mein Kampf" and "The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
Ukraine's Education Ministry recently demanded that the school change
its name to indicate that it is privately run. MAUP's rector responded
to the request by accusing the ministry of political persecution.
The ministry "wants to close MAUP because of our political activities,"
rector Nikolay Golovaty told JTA.
But Ukraine's science and education minister, Stanislav Nikolayenko,
told JTA that his agency was going to close several MAUP branches
because they did not meet ministry criteria.

Big deal.
Mr. and Mrs. Muslim... who was Adam?
Wasn't Adam created directly by God?
Wasn't Adam an only begotten son of God?
If so, and you claim as per Mohammad that there are no only
begotten sons of God... then who was Adam?
Without Adam, there is no Abraham... and without Abraham,
where is Islam?
(Islam vanishes in a puff of smoke)
God made it all, Jesus died for our sins.
