Since October 7, the incitement on social media by Arab students has been breaking records. Now it turns out that the one who tries to stop it will be punished himself.
Israel Hayom received information about incitement by four female students studying at the Kibbutzim Seminary College.
One of them said that she supports the Palestinian resistance in every way.
"She also went so far as to publish a post with the video of the kidnapping of the Biebs family and called Hamas terrorists human," says Eli Harari, 22 years old from Ramla, a former student at the kibbutzim seminary, whose studies were recently discontinued.

Until not long ago he studied there because he wanted to establish a learning center in Ramla, but plans are separate and reality is separate.
The management of the kibbutz seminary took proceedings against him that prevent him from continuing his studies.
"My friends and I approached the administration and asked that they take action against those students, the administration did nothing about it. They called their behavior 'outrageous' but not 'support for a terrorist organization,' so it is not enough from the Mossad's point of view to take action against them," he says about the attitude at the Mossad The academic to the statements of the female students who define themselves as "Palestinian".
"legitimate response"
Thus, one of them wrote in the post: "Even if I am a friend of yours, I have always been and always will be on the side of my people, wherever they are and in whatever way of resistance they choose as a legitimate response to the siege and occupation."
In response, Harari signed 900 students on a petition demanding the expulsion of female students who supported terrorism, and turned to the media to create additional pressure.
He even went to speak at the Knesset's education committee, protesting the conduct of the institution.
At the hearing, the representative of the college claimed that the student who supported terrorism was suspended.
The committee demanded proof, and the college sent a letter stating that she was suspended until the beginning of the school year.
"This means that she was not suspended, because now that the year has started, she is studying as usual," says Harari.

"The college did not like my conduct, and I was invited to a conversation where they demanded that I apologize and stop the struggle," he says.
"I claimed that the college embraces supporters of terrorism and stabs reserve service students in the back. I published the story and my claim in a WhatsApp group that I set up and which has 300 students as members. I refused to apologize or stop the struggle, because the college still has not dealt with the supporters of terrorism."
Because Aili refused to apologize or stop his struggle, he was summoned to a disciplinary committee.
"They didn't let me bring witnesses, on the grounds of provocation. But can I refute allegations without witnesses? Even in court, witnesses are allowed! As a response to the fact that they did not allow me to invite witnesses, I boycotted the committee. They determined in a disciplinary committee that I be removed from the college permanently, without the right to appeal The Council for Higher Education explicitly stated that I had the right to appeal and that this decision violated the law. Following this, they held another discussion in the Education Committee, where 15 MKs sat.
All the members of the committee supported me, from the coalition and the opposition."
"so outrageous"
Thus, the current school year opened with the female students who support terrorism studying as usual, and those who cheered against them - were left out.
After appealing the committee's decision, Harari reached an agreement with the college that he would be able to return to his studies at the Israel Defense Forces (in a year and a half). The story that the terrorist supporter published, but they keep taking them down for us.
"It's all so outrageous: they say I incited and that's why I was kicked out, but the female students who really incited - stayed. And all this happens in wartime, when we're supposed to understand who the enemy is. It's postmodernism, we don't distinguish between good and bad."

"bullying behavior"
The Kibbutz Seminary College stated: "The claim that the college supported terrorism is incitement and defamation. The college dealt with severity and with all the legal tools at its disposal in all cases that were brought to its attention regarding student statements on social networks. The college is not a law enforcement agency, and as far as we know, the Israel Police also decided not to open in the investigation for the same complaints.
"Aili was never asked to stop his struggle or his criticism, and was not removed because of his opinions, but because of bullying behavior that is contrary to the rules of the college's regulations. He was summoned for a conversation due to the fact that he spread slander and lies and made illegal use of the college's systems. Due to his choice not to cooperate with the procedure He was summoned to a disciplinary committee, to which he chose not to attend, even though it was made clear to him that if he did not attend, he waived his right to appeal.
"After Harari apologized for his words against the heads of the college, he was allowed to return to his studies at Shafu."
