City: Tel AvivState:
You are absolutely right. The people who are suffering and will continue to suffer the most are students. If they cancel the semester, we will have to stay at least another semester (at most another year) longer in school (which can interfere greatly with our global life plans, like getting married, going to visit families abroad and so on). If the semester is not cancelled, we will be forced to study on Fridays. Now in case government and universities don`t know this, most of us students work on Fridays, to be able to support our already pathetic existence. So now in addition to everything (such as loosing our tuition money) we will loose the very last small income we had! And just so you know, dear university officials, and government reps, a lot of students have their own families (especially there are a lot of newlyweds among grad students and here you are destroying the threadlike stability of new families). What you do is a crime. It is the reason why Israel has NO FUTURE!
