The winds are stormy following the demonstration of the Bedouin students with Palestinian flags at the academic institution in the Negev • In a discussion with the chair of the Education Committee, a student from Tel Aviv University said: "My friends who lived with me Like her "


The winds are stormy following the Arab student demonstrations at the academic institutions: 

Bedouin students held a rally this morning (Monday) at Ben Gurion University in Be'er Sheva to mark Nakba Day at the initiative of the Hadash party. Riots when both sides were facing each other. 

One week ago, Arab students demonstrated at Tel Aviv University with Palestinian flags and caused a great commotion throughout the campus.

Jewish students on the other hand waved Israeli flags.

Shai Rosengarten, head of the activists' wing of the If You Will movement, said in a discussion by the chairman of the Education Committee, MK Sharan Hashakel: "Since Operation Wall Guard, we have seen a marked increase in incitement against students.

The events that take place in the wave of terror radiate to reality.

We have seen calls for the betrayal of traitors, blood and fire to redeem 'Palestine' and calls for encouragement for terrorists in Jenin.

Unfortunately, many heads of institutions do not offer determined and genuine treatment that can prevent such incidents.

Many students choose to turn to outsiders from the university and this indicates the inability of the academy.

"We call for the establishment of a student rights department in the MLAG to protect the students, so that they can deal with the violent phenomena. "Academic institutions will make a value statement. Anyone who incites terrorism will not stay in the academic institution."

Orit Eliyahu, a student at Tel Aviv University, also participated in the discussion and added: "The Jewish students are afraid to come to the university, some of the dormitory residents have returned to their parents.

I come to this discussion with very difficult feelings.

We are going through a difficult period at the university.

I live in a dorm and it is not easy there at all.

Jewish students are in a situation where they are afraid to go to university.

Some of the students who live with me decided to go back to their parents because they were scared.

Waving an enemy flag became routine while waving the Israeli flag became a provocation.

"On Memorial Day in the middle of the siren, the Arab students took their heads out of the windows and clapped their hands. During the Nakba demonstration, Jewish students were beaten. A few hours before the Dizengoff attack, the Arabs at the university demonstrated and called for an intifada. But we are afraid. "

Yehuda Benano, Chairman of Residents for the Negev, said: "A residents' organization for the Negev, which participated today in a demonstration against Nakba Day at Ben-Gurion University, strongly condemns the university's president, Prof. Daniel Haimovich.

Today we have witnessed another slump in the deterioration of total loss of governance in the Negev and the state.

It is not possible for an institution funded by our public funds to demonstrate with the Palestinian flag, and on the other hand, when a student raises the flag of the State of Israel, he will be detained because it is a violation of public order.

"What we saw today at Ben-Gurion University, named after the Negev flowering and desolate David Ben-Gurion, is an unparalleled certificate of poverty and disgrace. When there is a weak government that is blackmailed once by the Islamic movement and once by Palestinian representatives in the Knesset, we receive demonstrations and provocations


"We call on the government and all parties to condemn the shameful incident and impose sanctions on Ben-Gurion University.

"

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
