UCLA Center for Near East Studies
The UCLA Center for Near East Studies is an academic institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. The Center "encourages, coordinates and integrates instruction and research in the humanities and the social sciences, business, law, medicine and the media, and in all languages essential to an understanding of the Near East."[1]
The Center drew wide attention for sponsoring a Jan 31, 2009 symposium on “Human Rights and Gaza” at which a few members of the audience — but not the speakers on the panel — chanted “Zionism is Nazism.”[2][3][4][5] [6][7]
