		<description><![CDATA[Those who followed the (unfortunately highly distorted) news about the problems which I had with Ben Gurion University a couple of years ago, will rightly suspect that I have plenty of cause to complain about that university.  However, a scholar, which I try to be, must be fair and as objective as possible. In fact, Ben Gurion University is an excellent and distinguished institution.  Not a few but many departments are excellent. The Faculty of Health Sciences, where I taught for twenty years, has probably the best medical school in the country. Clinical medicine and medical research, although overlapping, should  be discussed separately. .  Some schools might, and I stress &quot;might&quot; be doing better research. But there is no argument about the high level of our clinical teaching.  Our other health sciences, nursing, physiotherapy, emergency medicine, microbiology and other laboratory medical subjects, are also taught at the highest level, and our graduates are much in demand.  The problem is not with the university as a whole but with one, maybe two departments, and with some of the people in higher management.   
Best wishes to all, 
Yeruham

		<description><![CDATA[Bolshevism (&quot;The Left&quot; as it is elegantly rechristened today) is simply inseparable from loathsome dirt, hopelessly spoiling everything in this beautiful world, be it Russian art or Israeli education, American media or French banking, Chinese family or &#8211; well, about anything the Left meets or needs. We have an ancient proverb in Russia: remember that just one drop of tar is quite enough to spoil a barrel of honey! No doubts it was a wise advice for the good old times, but now the situation begs for the reverse kind of hint: how to save the last few drops of honey from the omnipresent barrels of the leftist dirt? Our Russian lore is silent &#8211; and what does American or Israeli wisdom say? Rostislav, Saint-Petersburg, Russia. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steven, unlike a few others, understands the deep, abiding connections between leftist academia and their &quot;benefactors&quot;. In fact, they are twins separated at birth. Their dogma jumps oceans and they merge across the world - &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/01/leftist-dogma-the-same-world-over-freedom-loving-people-beware-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-32-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/01/leftist-dogma...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Israeli academia is rife with far left radicals, and TAU is emblematic of the disease. No one should dare underestimate the damage they wreck - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/post-zionist-academics-further-israels-delegitimization/2012/02/08/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/post-...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Dr. Martin Sherman, a close associate, knows the ins and outs of TAU, having taught there for years. It is due to this knowledge, plus so much more, that he took it upon himself to initiate a policy center, &#039;Israel Institute For Strategic Studies&#039;, to beat back their deleterious effects - &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/01/01/presenting-a-strategic-based-policy-interview-with-dr-martin-sherman-founder-of-the-israel-institute-for-strategic-studies-iiss-by-adina-kutnicki/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2013/01/01/presenting-a-...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Due to the above, and much more, take this article very seriously. No one should think that Bernie is the only bad boy in this scenario. Alas, there are too many others to count! In effect, Israel&#039;s far left, civil society &quot;elites&quot; are wagging the political dog, regardless which party holds power. Indeed.
