The committee of heads of universities published a special announcement this morning following the cancellation of the reason for reasonableness in the Knesset and the fear of the inability of the judicial system to assist in such cases. The universities will assist any faculty member who joins the protest. "And the educated at that time - no - will die"

"Yesterday something happened in Israel. The government completed the first stage of the constitutional revolution which threatens the democratic character of the State of Israel.
We condemn in every way the cancellation of the reason for reasonableness, and the forceful and unilateral way the government took for this purpose. We are very concerned about the government's intentions to complete the constitutional revolution unilaterally and without broad consensus. The risks of the constitutional revolution, even before its beginning, are materializing before our eyes everywhere, even in universities in Israel. We are anxious about the government's harassment of the academy, the buds and effects of which we are already seeing, and the fact that we will not have the protection of an independent Supreme Court if and when these harassments escalate.
We call on the academic staff in the universities to be active citizens, in any legal way possible, whatever their position. "And the educated at that time - will not - stand still." Members and members of the academic staff: as a beacon and model for a liberal and inclusive society, we all have the duty to express our opinions and act in different ways to fulfill our civic duty towards society in Israel. We, for our part, will recover you as much as we can, and will work in every possible way to ensure a better future for the country. At the same time, we must work to bridge the serious rift that has been created in our society following the constitutional revolution, and which threatens social cohesion and the resilience of Israeli society and university campuses."

Eli, it is not a crime to try to overthrow a government. Netanyahu did worse things when he bullied all members of the right and bought some of them to overthrow the government of Bennett Lapid.
And one more thing, try to get out of the sounding board of the right on social networks, they flood you with a barrage of nonsensical things.
I say this bluntly and directly without hesitation: I did not know that the science site had become a political site. And if so, in my opinion, he has lost the scientific interest that he is trying to publish or at least tried to publish in the past. The heads of the academy belong to the same elite that tries to discredit the government in the eyes of the people who elected it democratically and with a majority of 0 mandates.
The same elite is trying to overthrow the government by various means. The government was democratically elected to the chagrin of the rich elites who control every field including universities, media, the judiciary. The method is simple. The judicial system sewed up a case for a sitting Prime Minister and judges him - this would not happen to a Prime Minister from the left. Another system grumbles and complains, oh, wow, they're hurting us... another system is trying to destroy the economy.
It's a shame that a reputable site like the scientist joined this bunch of garbage. Too bad. I am retiring from the science site. Thanks for nothing
A. Nir Lahav prepared an analysis of the escalation clause and its effects, bringing the positions of both sides. B. As for overthrowing a government, this is the role of the opposition. What did Netanyahu do to Bennett?
Regarding politics - the government is trying to introduce politics into every area of our lives - academia, media, law. Since most experts in these fields agree that the coup d'état is dangerous, the science website that is associated with the scientific consensus does so too. Wouldn't you like to see articles by global warming deniers, for example?
I have not seen anywhere that the heads of the universities bring a shred of proof that academic freedom will be harmed.
I expected researchers with a reputation and research knowledge to provide evidence for their claim of any harm.
What we see now is a violation of the freedom of speech of those with a different opinion in universities.
The question is over
Have any of those protesting read the bill regarding the summit of overcoming?
Does anyone of them know that the law, almost in its current language, was previously proposed by those who now strongly oppose it?
In my opinion, and there are quite a few who think like me. that the protests were intended to overthrow a right-wing government that was duly elected.
There should be no fear of damage to democracy by those who, in my humble opinion, are mistakenly called protesters.
To finish, a modest request from the editors of the site
Please keep politics off the site.
I would take the warnings of the presidents of the research universities to heart if they would remain, well, research universities, and not turn themselves into instruments of radical postmodernist leftist indoctrination. Unfortunately, this does not only happen in Israel, but throughout the Western world, and events like the one that happened to Brett Weinstein and Heather Haynes at Evergreen College will prove it.
"And the educated at that time-will not be silent" - the heads of these universities should rather be silent a little, and stop repeating embarrassing statements concocted by advertising agencies funded by interested parties, and take time to discuss the following questions:
* How did it happen that the legal system in Israel, including their octopus arms in the prosecutor's office and the legal advisors in the various government ministries, deviated from their duties in such a radical and grotesque manner, that does not exist anywhere else in the world, not even in the USA,
* How difficult it is to have the right balance between the three authorities (the legislature, the executive and the judge.
* How do you limit the judicial authority and remove from its hands the powers it took into its hands illegally, without authority and without permission?
This, of course, will not happen, because the universities have already been corrupted to the core, and have already closed any possibility of free expression within their walls. This corruption of "political correctness" and uniformity of opinion is currently invading even the last outpost of sanity in the faculties of mathematics and natural sciences, and soon all the realistic guys will have to learn that 2 + 2 is exactly as much as the party says.
Unfortunately, the Minister of Education has decided to weaken the universities and thus harm their level, all for political considerations foreign to the world of science, and therefore it is important to publicize this in the knowledge. (Sorry I didn't write trifles). The publication is a warning sign for the status of higher education in Israel and its level.
To which news field does the committee of heads of universities belong? Where is the scientific work that the website documents done? In the Knesset?
That's right, if I wanted political garbage I would go to any of the other sites. Why does it have to come here?!
Definately not. They feel that there is a threat to academic freedom, as has happened in many dictatorships (Poland is a strong example of this) and their right to warn, usually they have no authority to change the rules of the game. As in football, a team that wins the championship cannot demand that next season it will have 20 players on the field.
Belisovsky you are destroying this site with political slime.. Tell your friends to tell the truth, it is not democracy but demography that scares them.
And as you know, these things should be done with love and not hate. Have a lot of kids and then you won't worry about demographics.
