Ben Gurion University

Ben Gurion Univeristy – BGU Faculty Members oppose settling Israel by Jews WITHIN the 1967 Borders

According to YNET (http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4083778,00.html [in Hebrew]), the tenured leftists are irate because an NGO calling itself "Ayalim" has been approaching students and asking to speak in classrooms at the University about their initiative to set up rural communities in the Galilee and the Negev designed for students. The tenured Left is upset that Ayalim people are not recruiting Arabs to move to these settlements. Led by Dr. Hamutal Tzamir, who teaches Hebrew literature, and who as far as we know has no Arab neighbors, these "academics" are screaming against the "racism" in the initiative. Wouldn't it simpler if Tzamir and her friends simply set up their own organization calling itself Jews Against Jews?

BGU Faculty Members oppose settling Israel by Jews WITHIN the 1967 Borders

Well, you will be happy to hear that a group of leftist faculty members at Ben Gurion University has now organized to oppose the settling of the Land of Israel by Jews INSIDE the pre-1967 Green Line. Keep the Jews out of Israel, seems to be their mantra. According to YNET (http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4083778,00.html [in Hebrew]), the tenured leftists are irate because an NGO calling itself "Ayalim" has been approaching students and asking to speak in classrooms at the University about their initiative to set up rural communities in the Galilee and the Negev designed for students. The tenured Left is upset that Ayalim people are not recruiting Arabs to move to these settlements. Led by Dr. Hamutal Tzamir, who teaches Hebrew literature, and who as far as we know has no Arab neighbors, these "academics" are screaming against the "racism" in the initiative. Wouldn't it simpler if Tzamir and her friends simply set up their own organization calling itself Jews Against Jews?

Ayalim has set up 14 small student communities as part of its efforts to realize the vision of David Ben Gurion to settle the Negev, the same Ben Gurion after whom the university is named. The university gave approval to reps from the group to speak before classes. But after all, how dare the university approve people to speak before BGU students about things other than the necessity for implementing the Palestinian right of return and the right of the Hamas to fire rockets at Jews!!!

And besides, these little talks to students can come at the expense of BGU class lectures devoted to the reasons why Israel is a racist apartheid regime in need of annihilation!  You know, the USUAL classroom materials at BGU!
