Israel and calling for ist destruction? Some israeli universities are a save heaven for anti-israeli activities. Paid by the israeli taxpayers. I know, that Israeli refuse this political Tinnef. rememberamalek.blogspot
11. Freedom of Speech vs. Propaganda
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.03.14)
Freedom of speech is important. At the same time, lying propaganda must be guarded against. Giving this man a public platform to spread misinformation and disinformation is an error. The University should definitely not permit him to speak on it's grounds.

(04.03.14)
17. #7 Preposterous logic
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (04.03.14)
Why not invite a member of the enemy that wants to destroy us (Arab terrorists), when we invited patriots (Shamir and Begin) fighting to protect us? You have the gall to call that double standards?
18. # 10
Teddy ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.03.14)
Follow the Oxford society debates sometime, no damage there, nor should there be here.
19. No freedom of speech??
Nuchosh ,   USA   (04.03.14)
20. In old days this kind of behaviour
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.03.14)
Consider LASHON HAREA and Tzarah as antisocial behaviour. Such unresposable behaviour signs of decay of education system and ethics , and what is more shocking, the results of it. For reference: Torah/Leviticus/Tzarah-Zariah
21. Small clarification
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (04.03.14)
All this talk about freedom of speech has no basis since Israel is not a normal country! We are a country in war even before it's creation, these people are our enemies who want to eliminate us! So we arrive to the real question, what is more important? To survive as an imperfect nation or to give this terrorists the feel that they can live here and work for the enemy? The answer is clear, whoever doesn't like it here, can emigrate. Israel is and will be a Jewish country!
22. University Students Protest Lecture By Former Prisoner #5
Sydney ,   USA   (04.03.14)
Not to worry about the Westerners making aliya and living among idiots. Without connects and money, they won't be able to find viable jobs and they'll return to their birth countries.
23. # 21 Such nonsense
Avraham ,   TelAviv, Israel.   (04.03.14)
Didnt you learn anything from recent history, in hitler Germany there was no free speech, in great Britain there was and look how ut influenced the wars pathway.
24. #7 Well popgun, it seems Begin and Shamir
A ,   Belgium   (04.03.14)
were a bit busy helping drive the British oppressors out of the future Israel and laying the groundwork for the future state instead of giving speeches, so that there would be a a Tel Aviv University for both Jewish and arab students. And who were they "convicted" by, the British? After their disasterous (along with the French) attempt to carve up the former Ottoman Empire, they put their tails between their legs and went home. Their "conviction" meant nothing.
25. #17 Thankyou
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (04.03.14)
You have proven my point One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter
26. In the United Kingdom
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (04.03.14)
Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness were invited to talk in the Houses of Parliament. Many have since seen this as the opening salvoes of the moves towards peace we now see happening in Northern Ireland. Appears some talkbackers here prefer war war to jaw jaw
27. # 5 Leon , [from where exactly]
Philip ,   Afula, Israel   (04.03.14)
We cross check things on the internet and also read foreign newspapers. Some of our" morons" somehow win Nobel prizes.Maybe you are not as smart and superior as you think.
28. Stop private donations to TAU.
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.03.14)
29. 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.03.14)
You mean to say you couldnt make it in Israel so you quit & ran back home. Never bad-mouth what you failed at. Israel may have loads of problems but we take pride in our news reporting & our journalists.
30. #25 Your point does not help
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (04.03.14)
because our (Israel's) terrorists still intend to destroy us, while our freedom fighters do not. So why would any Israeli want to listen to someone trying to persuade him/her that he/she should agree to being killed? Would you, presumably an Israel-hater, have agreed to hosting Shamir or Begin in the spirit of even-handedness which you purport to espouse?
