Seems that unlike grog, the Palestinians don't even want to meet with Israelis who are radically anti-Israel.
Expulsion of Israeli-Jewish journalist sparks W. Bank academic debate
Dispute over freedom and radicalization has erupted since Haaretz reporter Amira Hass was ordered to leave conference at Ramallah’s Bir Zeit University last month
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — The expulsion of an Israeli journalist from an academic conference hosted by a top Palestinian university has unleashed a fierce debate about academic freedom in the West Bank.
It is also shining a spotlight on the apparent radicalization of some young Palestinians who are disillusioned by years of failed peace efforts and have grown up with little contact with Israelis.
While Bir Zeit University has apologized to journalist Amira Hass, some student activists say they support her expulsion and want the school to rescind its apology. In Israel, officials say such attitudes violate the spirit of academic freedom.
Hass, who writes for the liberal Israeli daily Haaretz, is a popular figure in Ramallah, one of a few dovish Israeli Jews who live in the Palestinian city. In Israel, she is well known — and reviled by some— for her scathing criticism of Israeli policies toward the Palestinians.
But when she attended a conference at Bir Zeit on Sept. 23, she ran into trouble when she listed Haaretz as her professional affiliation.
She said two professors asked her to leave. “They said, ‘There is a law in the university that Israelis cannot enter the university,'” she said. One even told her that she should leave for her own safety. Hass, who said she has been to the university dozens of times previously, decided to leave.

So in some wacky world, it's okay for Palestinian leaders of the BDS movement to study at Israeli universities but the Palestinians don't want to hear from Israelis even if they are strong supporters and went so far as to threaten her.
