The student wrote a letter on the matter to Education Minister Shai Piron. Piron called the teacher in for a meeting in the wake of the student's complaint.

Firing isn’t enough. Deport him to Gaza.

I wish we had the freedom in this country to do this. Of course, then there are our leftwing, activist “courts” that we’d have to deal with. Nevermind.

We have those, too. Wait until they have their say on this case.

Academic freedumb (the right to give a student a failing grade for disagreeing with you).

I saw the headline and thought “it’s about time”, then I saw it was in Israel. :~(

I thought this was going to be a man-bites-dog story. Then I realized it happened in another country.

When I just read the headline, I thought, “What State, county, school?”.

Hopefully Darwins’ theory will take out these liberal pukes.

The teacher, said the student, said that he had voted for Hadash, the Israel Communist Party. …
The other world-conquering ideology: state atheism.

Same here. It’d be almost miraculous if something like that did happen here.

He must have come from the USA, where our kids frequently get to hear from leftist teachers, without impunity, that we stole this land from the natives, and likewise have no business being here.

Well, those Native Americans were happily hunting buffalo in downtown Chicago among the skyscrapers, when the white man came and took it all from them.

Lots of Israeli academics did graduate study in the West, where they were affected by the idiocy of the Left. Ditto their main media.

Most of the really prestigious universities are in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, so it incubates. Ariel University ought to produce a refreshing new crop of professors.
