70's and it's city by now the city contain thousands of people yeah what you r going to boycotte thousand of people, so y did you established it in the first place, kinda pathetic, left wingers really lost their mind.

in Jewdea & Samaria (west bank)?? Left=DISGUSTING LEACHES of opportunity

The Arab and leftist sectors are almost inevitably on the WRONG side of an issue. So I'd say Barak must have done something right for a change. Seriously, what's their problem? Israel helped build this institution just as it built numerous colleges in the territories after 1967 that primarily benefit the Arabs. And Ariel counts many Arabs among its students.

They are always barking and howling when their god's threaten something against Israel. They are spineless,standing for nothing and go with the wind of their hot air gods of the goyim. JINO's like their fearful grasshopper ancestors in the midbar should be seen and not heard.

As it's the closest higher-education institution for them. So, this boycott would end up hurting many Arabs as well... Just like when Burger King closed its Maale Adumim branch after international pressure, the ones who were hurt the most were the Arab workers there who lost their job. But apparently the clueless leftists in Israel and the world won't let the facts confuse them. I say why not, let them alienate the Israeli Arabs as well. Who knows, maybe one day sane Jews and Arabs would form a united front against clueless leftists.

study there, does the left wingers know what they r doing, it will cost them lower achademic force in the market wwhich going to cause unemloyment, but since left wingers like to ruin the economy it means that they will become burden to society. mmm they r turning to the ultra orthodox they hate so much.

Abysmal failure of the leftist ideology is at its peak here

Arab MK should warry about real issues impacting their communities like unemployment, housing, equality, crime, etc.... whether Ariel has a college or University should not matter to them at all....

Before this move, there were voices saying not so fast, let's not boycott academically, it will be counter-productive. Now, your wonderful FM has pressured the "supreme leader" of the West Bank the DM, to recognize Ariel College, on Palestinian territory belligerently occupied according to Israel's own High Court by Israel. Simply brilliant! Now Israel's own FM, wonderful racist that he is, has kicked off a massive boycott of Israeli academics the world over. Good going bouncer man, good going!

Doesn't it sound strange to you that Meretz, the arabs and Peace Now are always together? If you carefully read Tibi's words you will understand he doesn't consider himself Israeli, so his position is logical. Now, Meretz and Peace now theoretically do consider themselves Israelis! Meretz is shrinking every election, however they don't see it or don't care, Peace Now is paid by our enemies. So, it's not strange at all! Its a group of delusional plus 2 of a kind!

THEY WOULD GET MORE VOTES AND KNESSET SEATS IF THEY DID These people are disgusting, they might not want the place to become a university because it doesn't suit their policies but the students who go through its doors with degrees won't be complaining. One thing I would like to know is why is it Barak who declared it a university shouldn't it have been a job for Gideon Saar the education minister? Bibi has a huge cabinet but Barak seems to not only running the defense ministry be conducting foreign policy which is Libermans job and now he is running education.

and will more than likely take the likes of Tibi with them.

Ariel is already a university in all but name- many published research papers emanate from there, higly regarded professors, a respected reputation, is known internationally by foreign universities, has an array of faculties, has graduate programs,,. It is time to formally recognize it is: Ariel UNIVERSITY

Problamatic lot.I was under the impression we almost gotten rid of them.But no they are still there ganging up against anything and everything. All they do is whine,and the Arabs are part of their lot.. I mean to create an academic institution be it in Ariel or anywhere it is needed,what's wrong? Bu oh no,they have to find a loophole to moan. Yes Raymond all these type of improvements also benefits the Arabs.Therefore,why complain funny some of our people,not to mention the likes of Tibi(we know where his ambitions are don't we eh)??

unknowingly of israels enemies. useless voices in the dark with nothing to add, only subtract from israel.

A group of our university professors visited Ariel University recently and found their curiculum outstanding, their professional integrety far beyond many other universities in the world. We are happy to hear that there is a decision to recognize the tremendous effords on the part of the academic faculty of the uiniversity. Good luck to the President.

Especially coming from such as yourself who has witnessed it and found it to be an excellent university called ARIEL. Makes a change when some from Sweden come to our various forums and denigrate Israeli achievements. Good luck to the President? I second it of course,and thank you.

Michael, you've obviously been boycotting academics since the day you were born. How's it worked out 'fer ya'? Apparently not too well, eh? Instead of being a self-sufficient, productive member of society, you've relegated yourself to an empty life filled with hate, living off of welfare/social security, and contributing nothing more to society than a few hundred Israel/Jew-hating postings per day on Israeli/Jewish websites. Even for a troglodyte like you, that's gotta be humiliating...couldn't happen to a nicer schmuck.

and first on the list is my hometown where all Universities are on Occupied Native Americans Land
