31. Sounds like this Tennessee donor knows what's up
AlexB ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.22.10)
Sounds to me that this donor knows exactly what kind of profs work in BGU, and sounds like she is against "Im Tirtzu" not because of their actions, but because they are right-wing. Very American of her to "call for an investigation" against this group. What kind of statement is "are they funded by dirty money?"? Disgusting... You know, ms. Liff, maybe you should send an undercover investigator to sit in on a few lectures of these extreme-left Academics who denounce Zionism and demoralize and brainwash young Israelis to hate themselves despite everything. Maybe that will change your mind.
32. #29 - missing the point
AlexB ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.22.10)
The point is not to to hurt BGU, which is a wonderful university. The point is for them to kick out the crazy uber-left professors who get funding from BGU to a) write idiotic anti-Zionist books who are then used by the Muslim world as "proof" that Israel isn't legitimate (see, a Jew said it!), and b) to brainwash Israeli youths. Nobody says the 95% of BGU, which is unrelated to politics, has to suffer. The point is to change the 5%. Unfortunately BGU's management has been irresponsible with allowing these crazy academics to use BGU funds to propagandize their garbage.
33. I am sure she would also AGAIN vote for Obama
Ralph Haglund ,   Lund, Sweden   (08.22.10)
I am corresponding with an American guy in Israel who has told how many in USA among the Jews, also among his relatives, have not a clue about anything except their own money. They will not have a clue what has happened when the muslims get more and more power in USA, and they will be chocked when suddenly someone will say that they are welcome to Israel in spite of talking shit about that country for so long.
34. #33 - who leaf will vote for
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (08.22.10)
Rest assured that, if she had a chance, she would vote for Bill Ayers, Louis Farakhan, and Jesse "Hymie" Jackson. She will vote for all the Antisemites possible, as long as her purse is left alone
35. Jan Liff
Robert Emory ,   Knoxville   (08.22.10)
No. 9, Erel of Herziliya Au Contraire, most American Jewry leans decidedly to the left, around 80 per cent or more normally voting for the leftist Democratic Party. Even voting heavily for the "radical" leftist, Nobama.
36. Jan Liff and BHO
Jake in Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.22.10)
How much you wanna bet that Jan Liff (via the Jan Abby Liff Family Philanthropic Fund?) donated to, supported and voted for Barack Hussein Obama? Does Jan Liff take orders from Obama, even now? Does anyone there think? Or even care? Does Jan Liff take responsibility for her actions? Did she ever take responsibility for anything she ever did?
37. In response to Im Tirtzu
Shalom ,   Or-Yehuda, Israel   (08.23.10)
As an pensioner, I am disgusted with the political pressure of Im Tirtzu. My wife, and one of my daughters got an excellent education at Ben Gurion. In response to Im Tirtzu - I will donate 25% of my monthly pension to the University.
38. Why did Ynet change the headline?
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (08.23.10)
Earlier they said she called Im Tirzu "hooligans." Now, it's "bullies?" Does Liff believe this is more palatable and makes supporters of Israel more likely to support her extreme leftism
39. Leftist fascism and silencing of pro-Israel patriotism
Dr Gary Katz ,   Modiin,ISRAEL   (08.23.10)
True McCarthyism began with the firing of Prof. R. Nevitt Sanford from the staff of University of California, Berkeley ("Cal.") in 1950 for refusing to sign the Cal. Board of Regents' "Loyalty Oath." This was a great loss to academia [although a gain for Stanford, as they hired him right away, as Sanford helped airlift many brilliant social scientists from Germany ( Frankfurt School; early-mid-1930's) to refuge in teaching at Cal. and other Institutes. 1950 also marks the publication of the social science standard work of Nazism and the Psychology of Fascism, "The Authoritarian Personality," with Theodor Adorno, et al. For the extreme Left genocidalists to attempt to use this terminology is at least disingenous, and at most post-Orwellian linguistic manipulation in order to slander Conservatives and Constitutional patriots. It is, in short, transparent FRAUD by the apologists for Islamic fascism. Dr. Gary Katz
