Zionist science (or quackery)

"The list of publications by the college’s faculty in fields that I can assess is meager. The institution takes pride in the academic journals published at the college. They sought to wow me, but the journals struck me as amateurish. An academic conference at Ariel was entitled “Studies of Judea and Samaria.” A typical scientific lecture: “Was the ark of the covenant present at the battle of Michmash?” Another lecture: “Post-partum depression and feelings toward motherhood in Samaria.” Can it be assumed that researchers at the academic center in Ariel have also studied depression among Palestinian women who miscarried at checkpoints?"
