MK Mai Golan addressed the president of Beit Berl College, demanding action to remove him from Dr. Eyal Levin's teaching.


After it was revealed in "Israel Today" today (Wednesday) that a lecturer at Beit Berl College caused a stir after he asked his students on the test "Is he a terrorist or a patriot?", A call was submitted to the president of the academic college to remove him from office.

"It is inconceivable that a lecturer in the State of Israel would dare to ask such questions about the students he teaches," wrote MK Mai Golan (Likud) in an appeal to Prof. Yuli Tamir, former Minister of Education and current president of the college, in which she called for immediate dismissal of Dr. Eyal Levin from teaching at the educational institution.

"Academic freedom is an important and necessary thing, but it cannot come at the expense of morbid questions and angles that harm the values ​​of Zionism and bereaved families," Golan added.

"Beit Berl College is named after Berl Katzenelson, one of the leaders of socialist Zionism and author of the 'Yizkor' prayer in memory of the martyrs of the Israeli military. I have no doubt that if he were alive, he would be ashamed of the fact that an academic institution named And harms those heroic families. "

Dr. Eyal Levin,

It was reported today that Dr. Levin presented a question in a test that took place yesterday as part of a bachelor's degree in security and home front defense, describing a letter he wrote from a terrorist going out to carry out an attack. , The students learned what patriotism is when asked "To what extent is Muhammad 'Abd al-Salam revealed as a patriot?".

The letter includes harsh statements against the State of Israel, which calls for the murder of Jews and calls them "mortals who desecrate Palestine."

It reads: "I, Muhammad 'Abd al-Salam, am no longer willing to bear the humiliation and oppression suffered by our holy homeland Palestine. From al-Haram a-Sharif to the last of the villages, we are trampled underfoot by the Zionist occupier and it is time to say' No more! No more! More!'

It is time to redeem Palestine from water to sea. "

It reads: "I am embarking on a journey for Palestine in which I will kill as many Jews as possible, the very existence of which is here desecrating its existence. Every Jew, in fact being here, harms our Palestine."

Beit Berl College responded yesterday: "The lecturer is a lecturer in resilience who has been teaching security and home defense for four years. During the course, the lecturer introduces concepts from the field of national resilience, including the concept 'patriot' and 'patriotism'. "Test cases should be analyzed. The lecturer had no intention of harming - not Jews, not Palestinians, or any other factor. His goal is to test a theoretical concept in its most extreme expression. Undoubtedly this is an inappropriate example."
