money buys antisemitism.

Reader comment on item: Smart University Giving

Submitted by batya dagan (United States), Feb 14, 2013 at 21:33

Last year many of us finally exploded with rage when a professor in BEN GURION university in Israel was heard saying awful things about Israel and spreading propaganda on behalf of the Palestinians.

We wrote to the school and the education department and said simply - we are stoping the money.

It helped, to a degree.It is hard to be on top of what these antisemitic so called professors say but we try.It is out of the question that good money will go to hurt the people who survived the Holocaust and their families.

We worship education but what is going in our universities reminds us of what is going in madrassas or what was going in German school during Hitler times.

What is left to do is to be on guard,to watch, to put a big light on the donors money in schools that forgot what they are all about.
