This appears in [an academic] article that defends Jeremy Corbyn's twin comments: "Jews don't understand English irony" and "Zionists don't want to study history".
The author's example of what "studying history" taught him👇.
And no, ironically enough, he's not being ironic!
According to this passage ☝️ there were Palestinian Universities in Mandatory Palestine between 1945-48. I looked up the list of Palestinian universities:

None of the Palestinian universities was founded before 1950, and most of them AFTER the 1967 war. The only possible exception is the Kadoorie Palestine Technical University founded by the British Mandatory government in 1930 from money donated by an Iraqi-born Jew:

Now this information was very easily available for anyone who claims having the will to study history. Especially an academic purporting to ADD to knowledge, not pervert knowledge.
Do what cd the author of this passage have been thinking of?

@4noura Palestinians don't need "Israeli state propaganda" to frame them as savages. They have been doing a pretty good job of showing the world who they are for decades.
Some recorded examples: 1.
Zionism was the only rational, humanist, plausible correction to millennial antisemitism which oppressed Jews everywhere, all times, for any number of fashionably marketable reasons.
People who portray Zionism as racism are Hitler's disciples who consider Jewishness a crime. /1
An unbroken uninterrupted line threads from 20th century fascist anti-Zionism and progressive anti-Zionism today. The rationalizations of antisemitism as patriotism, universal morality, hounding Jews everywhere, forming popular fronts for final solutions are exactly the same. /2
@SamuelLasker .. and the Nazi Avant guard set out to clean Europe of its pollution.
Islam defines Jews as an aberration in Muhammad's world order, and legislated laws to punish and hound Jews in perpetuity. /2
@m4xim1l1an The plotters of July 20, 1944, headed by German colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, are judged by history to be terrorists and criminals because they targeted an innocent civilian for assassination ... 🙃
@m4xim1l1an That said, I am inclined to share Ben Disraeli's opinion that “assassination has never changed the history of the world.”
As it turned out, Bernadotte's assassination was quite unnecessary, since the Israeli government already decided to reject his skewed "peace plan".
@m4xim1l1an One positive result of the whole affair was that Lehi was forcibly disarmed and many members were arrested. This was another major step in Ben-Gurion's insistence on controlling all Israeli armed forces under one authority, which is the state of Israel.
@gontarzn חוץ מסטמר ואי אילו "חצרות" אחרות של יהודים חרדים, אפשר להגיד שכל יהודי ארה"ב הנם מתבוללים. הסופר מיכאל שאבון נזף בצעירים יהודים שמבקשים להקים משפחות יהודיות. דבריו לא היו רדיקלים בכלל. הוא בסה"כ ביטא את הלוך הרוח הדומיננטי בקרב יהודי ארה"ב

@gontarzn לדעתי גם אין לנו על מה להתרעם בנושא זה. יהדות ארה"ב סיימה את דור הזהב של המאה העשרים שלה שבה העמידה אנשי רוח, אמנים, משוררים, הוגי דעות ברמות של פסגת המצויינות האנושית. היום יהדות זאת אינה אלא צל עגום ומצומק המשקשק בפחד מפני שינויי התרבות האמריקאית המתפתחת בצל ה"פרוגרסיביות". 2
@gontarzn התרבות האמריקאית מעמידה בפני היהודי ברירה פשוטה: כדי להצטרף לחוג החסד שלנו ("צדק חברתי") אתה המחוייב להתנער בקולניות ובהחלטיות ממדינת היהודים. נרשה לך להמשיך להיות יהודי אם תחדל להיות יהודי שאכפת לו מישראל. 3
