Education Minister: Any move harming donations to universities must be stopped

It's OK - at least to Haaretz and its minions of Islamists and foreign Jew-haters - to attack those calling for a response to hatred of Jews on Israeli campuses, but its not OK to condemn boycotts against the Jewish State? OOOOPS ... I forgot, this is Haaretz so it is not the truth we seek but promotion of Antisemitism

The extreme left-staffed academies are posing serious danger for the future generations who are later called upon to defend Israel in such a difficult neighborhood . It is not America or Scandinavia who can afford to weather enemies who pose security threats from within . Israel is in a very different position and a house cleaning is in an urgent order .

Were not the "herrr professors" from BGU, TAU, HUJ... who were calling for divestment and boycotting... These lefties are very weird objects... They are against israel and hete the country but want to have their fat salaries.... Band of bolcheviks, they are the israeli nomenklatura

The only universities that should be allowed are the ones that teach Torah primarily and secular studies secondary (if needed). We are commanded to be "Light unto nations" in our morality, not in corruption. So far Israel's educational institutions have taught mostly corruption. Female teachers dress like they are in a strip bar, heresy is usually the main topic of discussion, and rabbis are being ridiculed by the so called "educators." It’s time for a change in Israel’s educational system.

We have enough enemies outside Israel, who needs so called “intellectual” inside Israelis universities to fight for them from within? Kol hakavod, IM TIRTZU, keep the good work.

That's attempted mind control. This must be stopped and Im Tirtzuis right. Sorry Braveman, academic freedom doesn't just apply to far leftists.

80% of Israel will support right wing religious groups and will continue to blame left wing groups for israel's image, productivity, standard of living... Shame on people that do not challenge their thinking patterns.

Israeli universities are way behind on international recruitment. The number of international students in regular degree programs is tiny compared with Israel's competitors in U.S., Canada, U.K. France, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, etc. Doing better on this front would be a breath of fresh air that would address many problems arising in stagnating intellectual environments.

Despite the good work being done in medical research and the sciences at places like Tel Aviv U, Hebrew U, and Ben Gurion, I can't bring myself to support them. Money, after all, is fungible, and I won't subsidize the counterproductive work of its Humanities and Social Sciences departments. I do, however, support Weizmann and Technion. And if those other institutions would spin off the H and SS departments - making them earn their own keep - I'd be prepared to support the productive remainder. And apparently I'm not alone. Some months ago, one of Tel Aviv U's governors not only resigned but pulled all future funding after the President refused to consider sanctions on those who promote boycotts of their own institution.

This leftist idiots that will destroy Israel from within are finally being confronted. This should only be the begining. If you preach hatred for Israel then your preach hatred for Jews ... yes it that simple. If you as a israeli Professor preach hate against Israel then you should be sent to tehran or syria and teach there instead. I'm sure they can get a nice salaries and grants there for their acedemics Of course, there will be some strings attached I'm sure by the host backward nations in question,

If Israel wants to continue to proclaim itself as the only real democracy in the Middle East, it will have to continue to allow freedom of speech, association and discussion - especially at places of higher learning. If it is left to Im Tirzu and their supporters, democracy and free speech will disappear.

Nothing bordering about it. And what is Sa'ar squaking about? His government is responsible for this fascism that now runs Israel. If these fascists and communitarians of one tribe over all others, Im Tirtzu, is focusing on BGU, think of what they will do with Haifa U. and scholars like Ilan Pape and Avi Schlaim. Oh, I guess the latter saw the writing on the wall an is teaching abroad, not that those universities are free from the same zionist threats to their sources of funding.

leftists... If people are made aware of the upsurd indoctrination against Israel and Judaism by agenda driven professors in Israeli universities, can someone explain where fascism and Mcarthyism steps in. many people would be shocked that the universities have been protecting these obsessed self-hating professors of brainwashing. they have a right to know what is hurting Israel and what is helping. If the fauxfessors believe they are in the right, have them go out and fundraise for their personal agendas. Guess what, NIF will probably come to their rescue, if they have not already. NIF Chairman chazan would have no problem finding arab and anti-semites to fund the halls of lower education at these venues of supposed intellectual growth and honesty. It is all called accountability- which has been totally missing in Israel's colleges. Bit by bit, the famous perpetrators of anti-Israel/Judaism fiction will be biting the dust- their thesis is worth nothing and short of becoming calumnists for Haaretz, they will actually go out and have to get some honest work. Sociology and psychology in action.

The public deserves full openness and transparancy of university syllabi and teaching personnel!! Anit zionistic and anti Israel stands should be exposed and the consequences should be felt for this behaviour at universities by means of cuts in subsidies if they do not change course!! We as taxpayers do not tolerate boycot supporters!!

it brings darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. ************ ricks Tax Reserves
