Nearly 3/4 of the student population opposes the ubiquitous ‘Nakba Day’ and other anti-Israel protests, even in the name of free thought.
The greater majority of Israeli college students oppose anti-Israel protests on campus, according to a new poll released Sunday.
Nationalist group Im Tirzu questioned 200 students in 4 college campuses across Israel on their Zionism and Jewish identity in a survey marking the end of the academic year.
The survey, which was held at Haifa University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Hai College and Sapir College, revealed that 73% of respondents do not support the commonly-held belief touted by the media that allowing ‘Nakba Day’ or other anti-Israel protests on campus is acceptable on the basis of allowing free thought and expression.
Just 25% support holding such demonstrations.
In addition, just 16% of students polled believe the State of Israel should be a binational state, whereas 77% believe that the government must strengthen Israel’s identity as a Jewish state.
On the question of whether Israel should maintain sovereignty over the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, 63% of students responded that maintain Israeli sovereignty on the Mount, compared with 22% who support relinquishing sovereignty.
“The survey results show that most of the student body in Israel attaches great importance to maintaining a Jewish identity, as well as a Zionist and democratic state of Israel,” Matan Peleg, CEO of Im Tirzu, stated Sunday.
“Unfortunately, there is a worrying gap between the fact that most student population are Zionists – who serve in the reserves, who want to maintain Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount and who oppose the lies such as ‘Nakba’ – and the fact that the leaders of higher education in Israel think it is legitimate to hold demonstrations against the very existence of Israel on campus.”
“We will continue to act on campuses across the country to strengthen Zionist values in ??academia,” he added.
Arnold, you are my kind of Hebrew.

I have only minor interest in polls which show that by 3-1, Israeli university students oppose anti-Israeli demonstrations and other traitorous social manifestations on their campuses.
I would be far more interested in learning that these same students were forming themselves into combat squads armed with US-type baseball bats, with which to go upside the heads of the rats they are targeting.
Does that make me someone who incites hooliganism? I sure as hell hope so. Because back in my high school years, I learned the hard way that a gang prepared to beat the living shit out of their enemies was a hundred times more effective than a gang of walking squawk-boxes spouting pieties and legalisms.

one can criticize and hold demonstrations but they intentionally tell lies and libels. the same for the foreign press, the BDS churches and euro govs. They libel intentionally and incite world pogrom. What should be the proper fate of such people? Certainly no less than that of Hitler and Goebbels.
Wrong, they think it is legitimate to intentionally spread lies and libel the Jewish state. They are the source of the libels against Israel and the Jews which murdered those Jewish children in France. The world believes the intentional lies of those professors and media leaders. They have engaged in the practice of blood libeleing the Jews and inciting a world pogrom against Israel and Jewish children in France. They should be tried for murder and attempted genocide and then brought to the gallows.
it appears that the cash sent by delegitimizing foreign govs, libeling israel and murdering Jewish children in france, has bought the leftist Israeli kapos who are a noisy squeaking wheel far in excess of their numbers. Without the foreign funds these treasonous lying traitor Jews would be jailed for attempted murder and facing the gallows as they deserve. No sane nation would allow their own citizens to work for the destruction of the state employing lying propaganda on the behalf of enemies without charging them with treason and executing them. Treason is still rightly a capital crime in many nations and their treason carries the extra charge of blood libeling the Jewish people to incite global pogroms. Its time the majority took control from the minority left and brought them to trial and punishment.
Perhaps it is those kapo professors who are causing the murders of jewish children in france with their lies. Having an opinion does not allow the telling of libels that murders jews. There is no doubt in my mind that Israeli leftists and media like Levy and haaretz are engaging in the hysterical propagation of the same libels which murder jews.
