1. If you tolerate this, why would jews want to live in Israel?
daniel   (01.11.08)
2. professer
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (01.11.08)
He should be fired. His actions are horrible.
3. WHO IS GUILTY?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.11.08)
HAS RACISM REARED ITS UGLY HEAD? NOT ONLY IS THEW MAN SUBJECT TO DISMISSAL FROM THE SAPIR COLLEGE,BUT AN INDIGHTEMENT COULD ALSO LOOM OVER HIS HEAD.FOR THESE REASONS THIS GOES BEYOND AN INTERNAL COLLEGE MATTER,AND THE VERACITY OF WHAT THE STUDENT HAS SAID MUST BE PUT TO THE TEST BY THE APPROPRIATE JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES.THE MATTER MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO REST.
4. With such profressors in Israel's colleges, it's no wonder
Joseph P. ,   JewRusalem   (01.11.08)
we end up having such self-hating Jews like Beinish, Barak, Olmert, Ramon, Gal-on and others who seek the destructions of the Jewish people, the Jewish country and anything Jewish.
5. JOB OFFER
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (01.11.08)
I am sure that Ynet or one of the other wonderfull israeli media outlets can offer him a job. He fits right in with his opinions and attitudes towards us. And if that is not an option he will do well on our tax money in the knesset. I doubt that Ynet knows that it encourages this kind of behavior, with their unrelenting bassing and incitement against benei Yakov on a daily basis.
6. The only way for we Jews,
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (01.11.08)
The only way for we Jews,especially in Israel,to resolv once and for all our problems with antisemitism , anti Judaism or anti Israel,which are ultimately all the same,is to be proud of ourselves and of our incomensurable contribution for the humanity,and start saying NO for any manisfetation against us,especially in the land of Israel.No jugdements,no talks,no nothing:JUST EXPEL THOSE WHO ARE HURTING US!Put them in the border of an arab country-in the case of arabs-,or in the plane back to their countries of origin ,-when no arabs-,and let the UN resolv the problem. I know,Israel diplomatic situation is very delicate,but I am sure as well that nothing resists the truth and the justice.When Israel acts accordingly to what is correct,the whole world respect it,AND NOT THE OPPOSITE!
7. Well there are a number of possibilities here...
Danny   (01.11.08)
1) He genuinely is upset by Israeli national themes which has got to be hard what with living in Israel. 2) He is trying to start a contraversy so other "academics" abroad can jump up and down about how he is being "victimised". Think Ilan Pappe and you have the idea 3) He figures he is on his way out and he might as well make a splash that way he can get a job with Finkelstein writing propaganda for Hizbollah or become a professor in an English university like Pappe. 4) His students hate him.
8. Is EVERY college in Israel INSANE?
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (01.11.08)
The article says that this imbecile's behavior might "threaten his future at the institute". WHAT? Why is he still allowed to reside in Israel at all? Since he despises everything Jewish and Israeli, he should not get another shekel, and be deported for anit-Israel activity and subversion, trying to instill hatred of Israel in an Israeli school. The imbeciles who hired him and who have kept him on the payroll in a Jewish college should all be investigated - those responsible for this insult to Jewish students should LOSE THEIR JOBS, period.
9. flag of israel
muggi ,   switzerland   (01.11.08)
whats going on in this college? i live in Switzerland and i do not have this problem, when i wear my magen david. Is israel still a jewish state? Kick this peoble out and send them to the countrys he can behave like this and save israel us a jewish state. Shalom
10. Following in Riefenstahl's footsteps
Ilan ,   Ariel   (01.11.08)
Too bad he didn't try to emulate her artistic skills though.
11. what would've happened if a jewish teacher...
(01.11.08)
... wouldn't let in the classroom girls who wear the hijab? I'll tell you what - that professor from the article here would've taught it in his classroom as discriminatory, all the while not getting the irony.
12. seems to me there is more to the story
Joseph Hadad   (01.11.08)
the student says something that is making me wonder if there was something else going on between them, then a relationship crises has caused her to suddenly hate him! She said something like 'he wpould call me aqfter class', 'he would comment on my personality', etc. Well, wasn;t she wearing same nicklace then? Wass not she Jewish then?
13. I thought he'd been disciplined or fired!
redmiike ,   TA - LA - London   (01.11.08)
Just get rid of him immediately. He and his behavior are both shameful and arrogant and he has no place in an Israeli college or perhaps anywhere in Israel. Barak, who has pretty much destroyed his political career will probably give him a medal for valor! Excuse me while I go to throw up! Mike
14. #1 - believe me, if I ever think of making 'yerida'
redmiike ,   TA - LA - London   (01.11.08)
it will be because of incidents like this and Barak upping the amount of fuel to Gaza when Israel suffers daily kassam attacks! Life here is good and it's a wonderful country but self interested politicians are slow destroying it. Much more so than the Muslims! Mike
15. And Israel allowed 'kefiyah day' in Haifa!!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (01.11.08)
The 'professor' should be dismissed immediately! And a criminal investigation opened against him.
16. We need to set this "teacher" loose on immigration officials
Levy ,   Israel   (01.11.08)
Maybe they'll pick up a technique or two when dealing with Law-of-Return sheisters who proudly display their JC necklaces and refuse to learn Hebrew while demanding our Jewish money.
17. #9 - Ditto
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (01.11.08)
18. "he would call me after classes... he always praised me"
Tahl ,   Israel   (01.11.08)
Something is fishy here. I finished an undergraduate and later a graduate degree here in Israel, and in all these years, never has a professor called me after classes (heck, they hardly even gave their own number to call them), and I never once got praised, even when getting high grades. At best, a word or two on my papers. Never has a professor analyzed my personality instead of my work. And to the best of my knowledge, it hasn't happened to any of my classmates either. I do remember one professor who was overtly eyeing and chatting up the girls in my class, and apparently there was more to that, as he later got kicked out for sexual harassment. This poor flag-incident aside - what sort of a twisted relationship has this professor been having with this girl? It certainly doesn't strike me as academic.
19. #3-i agree
bob ,   chennai   (01.11.08)
It is very importent to testyfy both the lect -and the -student- to know the truth ,if the lecture is done as per alligation it should be dealt maximum seviour,if the student or related intrest group is falsly alligating.--the country have to comfort the lect and deal the people behind this alligation where no body ever do it later. Because if it is a false alligation it will be the begining of a new disater for the society where by human canot trust human and a u-return to barberic era
20. Enough with this hate ridden bigot
S Judah ,   London   (01.11.08)
21. Nice....Very nice......
rd ,   nyc, usa   (01.11.08)
Now I want to see how they will spin it to make it look like it is the Jew's fault. Let's see.
22. WHAT? Is he still employed there? Fire the racist!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.11.08)
23. Where is FREEDOM OF SPEECH
I. Barr ,   Detroit,USA   (01.11.08)
Radical Left, Israeli Arabs demand free speech, but they deny this priviledge from anybody else. This form of fascism has to be dealt with. What is enough is enough.
24. Gosh...
MIcha   (01.11.08)
it's kinda like having a kkk member teach an african studies course. pretty sick!
25. he must be fired!
oded   (01.11.08)
arab hutzpah at its absolute! kick him out !
26. No apologies
Ellis Mann ,   USA   (01.11.08)
That a lecturer, Arab or otherwise, at an Israeli educational institution can even consider asking an Israeli student to either cease from wearing a star of David or displaying the Israei flag is treasonous. Would that all Israeli educational institutions could follow the lead of Ariel University Center, and proudly display the Israeli flag in each and every classroom, and require each student to take a course on the Land of Israel each semester. There is every reason to be both proud and critical of Israel, but no reason to make apology. Oust Hazan and defund Sapir College!
27. I cant believe we are still talking about this Idiot
Russell ,   NYC   (01.11.08)
28. against prophet dawud???
ygalg ,   israel   (01.11.08)
why he would be against star of david? it's 'prophet dawud's' seal...
29. a classic candidate for deportation to gaza
jack bauer   (01.12.08)
he should have been fired for the uniform incident
30. free return
zichron   (01.12.08)
