Jean ,   Canada   (11.24.09)
..to find out whether this issue is resolved in M's favour. It is encouraging that Itzik Shmuli is shocked by the story. I am sure that canadian universities will be monitoring this closely. They would need no further evidence of academic apartheid in israel.

8. Shame, my kid had great Arab mentor
R ,   Israel   (11.24.09)
How disgusting, and how untrue. My kid had an Arab mentor a while back and still remembers him in the most positive light. All societies have their racists and we need to fight things like this.
9. Prominent Universities should be last place for this
Michael ,   Israel   (11.24.09)
This is very sad and disgusting. Israeli society has some serious work to do to reform its treatment of Arabs and other minorities. There is way too much racism and discrimination in Israel today.
10. I would not enroll my child if they would have an arab ment.
(11.24.09)
11. Just spoke to Perach
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (11.24.09)
First the woman who answered the phone told me that is not their policy and that she would talk to the director to investigate this further. I read the article to her and she was also shocked. Let's see what happens.
12. excellent decision - stupid liberals
Yoni ,   tel aviv   (11.24.09)
Stupid Liberals are disconnected from reality. They try to claim that there are no differences between all peoples when in reality there are many many differences they ignore in the name of liberal confused values. The differences include cultural, ideological, behavioral, familial, social, language, and many more Why ignore the differences why not be proud to be what you are instead of hiding behind a veil of liberal lies?
13. #10
nikki ,   israel   (11.24.09)
that's your choice. however, if this really happened then it's quite presumptuous of the program to determine that that would be the choice of *all* the parents involved, and based on that presumption deny a volunteer.
14. #10 + #12
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.24.09)
I just ♥ honest racists!!!! What are they afraid of? Showing that some Christians and Moslems are smarter than some Jews?
15. For Shame!
BGU student ,   Beer Sheva   (11.24.09)
This is almost unthinkable. Our University really stands for religious tolerance, there is so much interachtion between students and teachers from all sectors and it is very sad if this regrettable incident spoils BGU´s image. I hope the student can forgive and forget.
16. #12 differences - so what?
BGU student ,   Beer Sheva   (11.24.09)
People with different cultures can very well get to know each other, play and learn together. The more different, the better it is to get to know each other. We live in a mixed society, especially here in the South, so why shy away from it? Besides, last time I was in T.A. I was struck by the fact how homogenous (white) the population was. Not healthy to live in a bubble, if you ask me.
17. Discriminations in Perach is nothing new.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (11.24.09)
First I want to say that this is a very cowardly behavior by Perach. Why are they caving in for these bigots? The families who get a mentor for their kids are being done a FAVOR. They are in no condition to dictate to Perach anything! If you don't like the mentor, then fine - you get nothing. Also, this is not the first discrimination that I hear about in Perach. Apparently this program does allows female students to mentor everybody (boys and girls) but male students may only mentor boys, as if they pose some sort of danger to girls, and as if there are no incidents of boys being victims from perverts as well... Thus, not only is this assumption extremely insulting to male students, but it also opens fewer slots for them. I don't know if it's still like that now, but this was the policy when I was a student a few years ago.
18. IF YOU CAN PROVE THERE WAS SUCH DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE
BEN   (11.24.09)
ARABS, ALL THOSE IN THAT ORGANISATION MUST RESIGN !
19. in Malaysia ALL ethnic groups work together and
Gisele ,   Beirut   (11.24.09)
the richests in Malayasia are actually the chinese and the Indians because they work the hardest . Even if Malayasia discriminated against others , that that make it alright for Israel to do the same . shame on those who justify Israeli racism . shame shame .
