Sack or suspend the lecturer.
3. Mr
Gilberto Salomi ,   Brazil   (01.02.19)
A lecturer whose behaviour is so disrespectfull to the society and acts so ideologically biased does not deserve to attend lectures in the so honored university.

david ,   new york   (01.02.19)

why would any professor take issue with a student soldier uniform when the soldier is protecting the state. if dress was inappropriate, then the professor should have respectfully issued a caution. hilfrich should apologize to the student;otherwise she should be fired on the spot. as for the other student complaining about the uniform, she has no place in the university. she should be expelled.

this conduct is unacceptable. if it happens again, one trace of it, both hilfrich and the complaining student should be booted right out of the university.
8. Destructive leftists must be replaced by patriots
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.02.19)
Despicable lecturer Dr. Carola Hilfrich is one, of many, examples of the destruction leftists are inflicting upon Israel in academia, the judiciary, the media etc. Destructive leftists must be replaced by patriots, at all levels, throughout Israel. Leftists are slowly killing our beloved Homeland with a thousand cuts.
9. "dr" hifrich
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (01.02.19)
I graduated in the late 50ies from the Hebrew University. If such an incident would have occurred at that time, the students would chase out that lecturer. The fact that such incident could have happened the blame is on the lefty spirit created by the administration of the University. I am not proud anymore to be the graduate of this academic institute.

David ,   Hartford USA   (01.02.19)
and injuring a hundred. A soldier in uniform should be respected at all times, in every inch of Israel. The Arab with issues needed to be taken out of the classroom and told the facts of life: because of Arab behavior over the last 70 years, Israel must have a large army. These soldiers lives are very busy- work, school, family, and duty. This should come as no surprise to the Arab, who obviously just wanted to cause some trouble for the soldier.

The professor was absolutely wrong in saying anything to the soldier and was just as wrong for not setting the Arab straight. As for the rest of the class which remained silent, their refusal to support one of their own is very distressing. What is wrong with them?? Or have they been so indoctrinated by the leftest HU administration that they agree with the Arab? Either way, it's very bad for the future of Israel.
12. Was the Lecturer with Taglit / Birthright ?

13. The jaundiced world of “תיקון עולם”
Isaac Balbin ,   Melbourne   (01.02.19)
As a University Professor in Australia who wears his Tzitzis out, and his Kippa, I would expect that Dr Hifrich’s politically correct humanistic world of תיקון, would object to me making Muslim students feel uncomfortable, nay threatened by my bombastic Judaised appearance. Feh! Hilfrich should be cautioned.
14. She does not feel sorry
Me   (01.02.19)
She is a philosophy lecturer and her argument was that the soldier can be proud of the uniform as much as the arab can be offended by it.
She forgot however that this is THE Jewish state and we don't seem to be offended with hijabs and burkas in lecture rooms. "She" mean to be read as the respect that this lecturer deserves.
15. a patriot is someine that truly...
deavman ,   ta   (01.03.19)
...respects the idf and recognises the toxic mentality of defaitism within the left. If you consider yourself a zionist/patriot and you choose the left politucally, you are indeed confused if not deluded.
16. Carola Hilfrich
George ,   USA   (01.04.19)
I suggest that students who disagree with Carola Hilfrich's asinine behavior come to her class wearing the IDF uniform. However, the best way to protest her anti-Israeli attitude is to boycott her future courses altogether.
17. The Arab student is a murderer
jochair Thijssen ,   kfarsaba Israel   (01.04.19)
The Arab student tries to lower the morale of student soldiers, If the HU indulges that behaviour, Then HU supports terrorism
18. everyone wears a uniform of some sort
mindy ,   israel   (01.05.19)
will arab women be scolded for wearing their 'uniform'?

they also cause people to feel threatened.
19. Hebrew University
Henry Tobias ,   מעלה אדומים   (01.05.19)
Dr Carola Hilfrich should be dismissed. Let her go and teach at Bir Zeit University and the Arab student should follow her. Why take advantage of the State of Israel if you hate it so much?
20. Such the lecturer
(01.06.19)
The lecturer must be sacked...
21. Israel’s mainstream self destructive institutions
ANationOfFools ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.19)
Hebrew U Tel Aviv U Ben Gurion U Haifa U Sapir etc etc all nests of
Post Zionist Vipers add to them Israel’s mainstream media’s and its Supreme Court anarchist “liberals” in the jungle of the Middle East surrounded by enemies sworn to our physical destruction and they working for the same from within If there are not sane major changes here and soon
God help the Jewish Nation...
22. Why don’t we know more of her background?!
